"In October EMI signed a deal with Brit singer Robbie Williams that gives the label a cut of the pop star's merchandise, publishing, touring revenue and sponsorship."
Robbie Williams? ROBBIE WILLIAMS? How in the world is EMI going to afford the 16 euro's for this deal??
"...unless they're guaranteed a monopoly. Steve Jobs himself follows this same policy, which is why you can't buy a Mac clone, or boot MacOS on an x86."
Apple is foremost a HARDWARE company. They just happen to make a great OS that compliments the hardware. If you produced XYZ video card for ABC computers, but let others use your technology at half the price, how long do you think you would be in business?
MacOS on X86 is just a simple pipe dream, it's not going to happen. But if you want to try, you can snag Darwin from here. There's a lot of no-name ethernet cards and sound cards that need porting. Get to it.
Funny how Adobe complains that the competition has cut into THEIR business. Isn't that the whole point of competition? Instead of making a better product, they whine and run away.
Welcome to life, Adobe. Innovate or die.
I'm certainly not saying that FCP is the be all, end all for video production (it isn't), but at least give it a chance, Adobe. Final Cut Express is lookin mighty fine right now...

Sorry, this just doesn't have the same appeal as the Steve Jobs's Reality Distortion field. Please think of the mock turtle necks and Birkenstock's for Christ's sake!
"I know it's scratched and can't seem to show the colour blue..."
I'll buy it, I'd love to see Windows crash and get a random color besides blue for once.
Not that there's anything wrong with blue! But just think about it... Apple brought us those fruity iMac's, why not have the "Yellow Screen `O Death" or "Green Screen `O Death" for once? C'mon Microsoft, this is your chance to innovate!!

"Does anyone know of a _good_ Gnome theme that matches Mac OS X's Aqua look and feel?"
While some may consider it flattering that you want to make Linux look like Mac OS X, Aqua is the property of Apple Computer; it's a trademark, and nobody else has the right to make a user interface just like it.
After seeing posts like these and the cease & desist story on FreeCraft, I have to wonder how much "innovation" open source software actually accomplishes. It seems the entire OSS movement is more interested in stealing other people's ideas than concocting their own.
We are sorry to inform you that the creation of a "beowulf cluster" does not conform to Steve's reality distortion field and we request all topics concerning beowulf clustering to cease and desist.

you have to wonder whether he thinks some of the changes are too extreme and possibly of little value to the user."
Or it could mean Microsoft's waiting for Apple to release its next version of OS X, so they can, um, compare features and come up with new "innovative" products. Yeah...

Actually, if it was Ballmer giving the speech I'm sure it would've been more like:
"Entwickler, Entwickler, Entwickler, Entwickler! Aaaaiiiieeeee, wooooooooo!"
Robbie Williams? ROBBIE WILLIAMS? How in the world is EMI going to afford the 16 euro's for this deal??
Omg, I'm giong to Kazaa! Support the artists!
Whoa there fella, this is Slashdot, you might want to simplify that terminology into something a little more geek specific. Suggestions would include:
a wife who likes a hot, throbbing beowulf in the zeitgeist
a wife who likes a little "CowboyNeal" first thing in the morning
according to NetCraft our sex life is dying
I "SCO" her at times and she always comes back for more

I can't seem to justify the price for this book ... yet.
Around here, when you tell people you have a girlfriend, you usually get a blank stare too.
