Since there is no Android app distribution yet, it's kind of silly to discuss hypothetical fees. But T-Mobile or Verizon or any other carrier could lock down android on their devices and require you to go through their app store. They could also charge developers for publishing. But it's entirely hypothetical what will or won't happen.
As it is, you can download the iPhone SDK for free and use ad-hoc distribution to install an app on your iPhone for free. Or you can pay $99, use the App store for distribution, and tap into the $30 million or so in monthly sales.
I know there are some people with a huge hard on over it. I've looked into it a couple times but it seemed overrated to me. It might be a good source of template tricks, but that's about it.
What does it say if Adobe only has 1 employee (if that) working on the linux Flash port and he's doing a better job than GNASH and open source development?
If you really feel so strongly about Flash's importance, maybe you should help turn GNASH into a viable solution.
What can you do? Pick one: soap box, ballot box, natalie portman's box, ammo box. Note that the first 2 have been ineffective, and the 3rd is overrated.
the "bomb" weighs 5,000 pounds (2200 kg). It's most certainly been hit by heavier objects in its lifetime. The mass of the moon is ~ 7e1022 kg. Would you notice if a fly farted on you?
Evidently not... has there been any anti-RIAA victory not involving a sympathy card (disabled, single mom, cancer victim, kid with cerebral palsy, etc)?
BeOS r3 (with x86 support) was released in 98 (Palm bought Be for $11 million in 2001). OpenStep for x86 was released around 1995 (NeXT bought Apple for -400 million in 1997)
Window Maker is a window manager, like kwm, afterstep, icebox, etc. It draws borders around windows, let's you move them around, etc, and that's it (ok, it also has the dock and a preferences app). It superficially looks like classic NextStep.
GNUStep is an implementation of the OpenStep specification (libraries, runtime, development tools, and some user applications). You could take the source code from an OpenStep application, recompile it, and run it in Linux. Cocoa is a superset of OpenStep, so a GNUStep application could be recompiled and run in OS X.
Window Maker is the preferred wm for X11 GNUStep usage (Window Maker doesn't use any GNUStep code, though).
A lot of people like to ignore that point. When NeXT sold OpenStep for generic x86 systems, they charged $800 for the user version and $3,500 for the developer version (IIRC). After Apple bought NeXT, they breifly sold OpenStep, but dropped the developer price to $1500.

in my country, "grokker" is when you are having sex with girl (like dog style) and she does stinky on you!
How did IBM get payback on Microsoft?

it is likely that it will only be fixed in newer production runs, so current ones remain a dud.
Unless it's a software problem.

Nothing. But the summary goes off an uninformed rant about [American] taxpayers and government enforcement.
The RIAA is using civil suits.

NeXT used gcc, BSD userland, and a Mach+BSD kernel.

BeOS tried selling an x86 OS and failed. NeXT tried selling an x86 OS and failed.
Apple tried licensing MacOS 8 to 3rd parties and saw their hardware sales canabalized without increasing OS sales enough to compensate.
IBM doesn't sell PCs anymore, so ultimately, it didn't really work out for them.

Actually, they had a profitible quarter. Yeah, Jeff Bezos was cleaning out the aero couch in the executive break room and found a quarter.
Psystar IS distributing modified Apple code. If that's not enforceable, the GPL is useless.
GNUStep much?
Compaq did a clean-room implementation of the IBM BIOS. Psystar didn't do a clean-room implementation of OS X.
They're a 2-person company. No bank (especially today!) will give them a loan without them personally co-signing.
