As anecdotal as your refutal of this book is, I'll anecdotally tell you how this is exactly what I need.
I've been using Mac OS since 7, and never really used anything else (natch...I've always been in design or print production). I had to plink around in some VERY basic UNIX commands for a general computer science class in college, so I know some basic navigation and a few commands.
I have no interest in running anything but a Mac system, even just for fun, because I don't find the thought of not knowing how to do anything fun. But I'm not so stupid as to think that I can do everything I need to do in Mac OS. I've read enough tips and cool hacks and neat ways to make things work by using Terminal, that I know it would behoove me to know something beyond to basics.
If they were so inclined, they'd already have some experience on another OS by now.
So, I say BS to this. I'm inclined to learn some rudimentary stuff, but no way in hell do I care to, no imagine I could be productive in, anything else. This book sounds perfect.
Yes, I'm sure the engineers that work for the major auto manufacturers were a tad lazy when tuning the chips for optimum efficiency and safety. I bet they'd appreciate and give extensive consideration the input of the unwashed masses, what with their vast car building experience and all.

WiFi Free-For-All

(PIT) has recently dropped its pay-per-use model and has installed free access to the WLAN in the food court and will be expanding access to the gates.... but how is PIT planning on reclaiming the costs?
There may be a sucker born every minute, but I find that rate strikes me as low when watching people snatch up $6 shit-burgers from under a heat lamp at airport food courts. I'm sure the glut of people hanging out in the food court for wifi, who just may need a snack will take a healthy bite (baddum-ching) out of the wifi bill.
Lau Kofoed Kierstein's first big project for Lego was the Galidor Kek Powerizer, which responded to cues broadcast by a children's television show.
Why the hell not? Most kids programming is made only to sell toys. About time some toys were made to sell programming...or to just play with, but I'm realistic.
but the rest of us in the unwashed masses should find it interesting.
Indeed. In fact, so interesting that the bulk of sweeping statements and wild generalization we masses will make, will be be made without ever reading the article!
It looks like consumers have spoken and film is finally going to go the way of the dinosaur
The consumers may have spoken, but all they said was "Keep making film. Your cameras suck and we'll buy Oly, Nikon, Canon, etc." Absolutely nothing to do with film declining, just a company dumping a fractional revenue stream.
As for 'finally', I think that speaks for its (uneducated) self.

So....you're saying MS should just do nothing?

Wouldn't that be 'Balder-Dance'?
Indeed. ;)

Surely, with that kind of money, he could afford a locksmith.

So, go read the book. That's what they're for.

Now you can combine your main pasttime with your second great love: internet porn! Horray!

Are we sure he wasn't in 'Pay it forward'?
Better tell the RIAA about that 'three lefts' thing, because they just tried the other method and failed.
Me either. I usually keep them associated with Acrobat or Preview....oh...wait...
No fire needed for toasted marshmallows!
Hey, ITPAA, that won't work. He's got his own private jet, and you'll still have to deal with Macs on your networks. Sheesh.

I'm not so sure that's an either/or proposition.
