It's not that it's not "ok", it's that it's hypocritical. One argument for the GPL is that people must offer back any changes they make. But if you take BSD code, relicense it to GPL and make changes and don't offer those changes back under the original BSD license.... do as I say, not as I do.
The Origin of the Species use the term evolution (and variants) only once -- the last word is "evolved". Charles Darwin used the term "natural selection". At the time "evolution" meant pre-formation -- a theory that women were stacking dolls containing tiny copies of all future generations within them.
i dropped $100 for an Apple TV a couple weeks ago. I have a PS3 which can do netflix BUT..
1. Sony won't let me access the internet unless I upgrade the firmware to remove the Other OS option
2. The PS3 is an electricity hog
3. The PS3 doubles as a space heater
4. Once the fan kicks in, everything sounds like a documentary on jet engines.
I agree 100% that youtube's html5 player sucks ass. I don't use it. I use the YouTube5 safari extension. I don't know or care about annotations or closed captions, but for everything else it beats their html5 and flash players like John McCain beats his wife. (He beats his wife a lot, trust me).
How about QDOS? They bought it from Tim Paterson, renamed it, upgraded it over the next 20 years, added a GUI, then released Windows ME. Anybody who used Windows ME was screwed pretty hard.
A better question: why are you phrasing it as a question? Some android manufacturers are violating the Linux GPL and nobody really cares. Hoo-ray, linux "won", whatever that means.
US Government debt has fixed maturities; they can't call it in. They could stop buying new debt(*), they could sell off existing debt, but they can't demand $5 trillion in cash right now.
* The treasury department has already hit the debt limit and cannot issue any more new debt, in theory. This year, 70% of all new debt was purchased by the federal reserve ("qualitative easing 2"). Helicopter Ben Bernanke would be just as happy to purchase 100% of it because Apple added new features to the iPad without raising the price so that proves there isn't any inflation, nevermind the price of things like food or oil or gold or silver.
If the government tracked all car location data, they wouldn't be allowed to keep it private either. Maybe the government shouldn't track car location data. Maybe they shouldn't be doing a lot of things they're doing.
I'm sure most of us have cut a fart while sitting in a pool or a hot tub or a bath. Urban dictionary calls it an aqua fart, though I've never heard it called anything. Anyhow, when you do it in a hot tub, the heat and chlorine and ass gas combine to form a truly retched stench that lingers.
Apple manufactures both the Mac and the iPod touch, with big enough profit margins on each to cover the freebie and then some. Microsoft will make, what, $50 from that OEM copy of windows 7.
I filled out the US tax form. What will be my tax treaty withholding rate?
Apple does not withhold taxes from proceeds paid from sales on the U.S. Store. See the IRS website for more information about types of income subject to U.S. withholding tax and withholding rates under tax treaties.
Will Apple send a U.S. Tax Form 1099 for my sales?
No. Sales on the App Store are sales by you, the developer of copyrighted works, to end users. Therefore, Apple takes the position that payments made to you for these sales are payments for products or goods, which are specifically exempt from reporting on Form 1099 even though the payments may be taxable income to you.
You are responsible for determining your own tax obligations with respect to these payments. If you are uncertain of your tax obligations, we recommend that you consult with a tax professional.
You could argue that third party app developers are actually employees. You can also argue that wearing Nike shoes makes you a Nike employee.
Apple didn't license that patent from Lodsys, they (as well as Google, Microsoft and many others) licensed a big basket of patents from Intellectual Ventures. That patent was later spun off to Lodsys.
You can already run windows crapps on Linux with WINE. But if MS did Open Source VB 6 (compiler and libraries), that wouldn't magically make all those VB6 crapps run natively on Linux. Best case, after the code generator and libraries were updated with something that runs under linux, you could dig up old VB 6 projects and re-compile them to run natively under Linux (and probably look like ass in GNOME or KDE).

jscript seemed to be a second class citizen in asp. And a second class citizen compared to every other javascript implementation.
some things never change.

I was hoping for some camel toe in action.

Apple did sell DRM-free 256kbps upgrades for $0.30/song. That's the price difference between $0.99 128kbps songs and $1.29 256kbps iTunes plus songs.

he's referring to the names of the source code files, not linux supporting case-insensitive file systems.
e-ink (kindle, etc) is fantastic in any light, whether it be sunlight, moonlight, or a red light of a ladyboy's private room.
What's your favorite sexual position? Also, how do you feel about fisting?

That's the face book bubble.

Thunderbolt/light peak was developed by Intel.
Goldman made money from the IPO. It's in their interest to hype it.
Early versions used a bytecode interpreter but they added native compilation so most people used that.

If anyone had any interest in running their VB6 exes on linux or windows, they would be using Real Basic.
