Not sure actually. I never owned a Newton, just a friend did. You really need to be an Apple geek to be into that. But from what I recall, it did have folders and other file structure stuff.
I think the meaning is to save or broadcast in the Microsoft format on other operating systems. An open source windows streaming server that talks WMV on a non-windows server. Or a video editing product on another OS that can output to said format. There is nor will ever be anything like this because Microsoft doesn't open its standards.
This keeps coming up as an argument. The effect of moving manufacturing to other countries is a forgone conclusion. This is not the current issue on the table. What is occurring now is a massive shift of INTELECTUAL jobs.
In the above arguments you can make the case that moving jobs may help the overall market by shifting costs down and increasing market share of the product.
There is a bit of a difference when you talk about the two jobs. When you move the intellectual (IT type) jobs over sees there is NO PRODUCT which can then be decreased in price. The benefits of off-setting the costs of labor are only seen on the CORPORATE side. It doesn't benefit the consumer at all except to decrease their average wage.
In other words, when manufacturing left the country people moved into higher paying jobs (or so people have said). High wages lead to reductions in the rate of exploitation of labor and increases in the costs of production. This lead to a shrinking margin of profit of the richest people/companies in the US. To offset this effect corporations can do a couple of things. Make people work longer hours and increase productivity, or send work to other "enterprise zones" where the labor costs are significantly lower.
In this case we see corporations to both in their unholy pursuit to sustain their every increasing profit margins.

As the Anonyous Coward below stated, the protocols where already writen. Actually the first e-mail was sent on the DARPA net. As was TCP/IP and others. Now the "WorldWide Web" is a different story, but the "Internet" most certainly existed in a primitive state before it went international, even as we understand it today.
I believe that was the point of the project.
True, true...
However, I believe military and consulate properties in other countries are still considered "sovereign" to the US. So technically was still (back in the day) on US soil.

Hmmm... As I recall the internet was started by DARPA (DARPA-NET) as a U.S. military project on computer redundancy in case of Nuclear War.
Later is was expanded by BBN into a more commercial system (e-mail and such)
Both of this endeavors where funded and backed exclusively by the U.S. government. It was most certainly did not "come by interconnecting a lot of networks worldwide. That was an after thought.

Does that sound like a legitimate argument for the UN taking over. It seems like more of a technical problem involving both the DNS software and platform it runs on (don't know how familiar people are with the software here...)
And the VeriSign thing, that is the most blatantly absurd quote. An obvious money grab by VeriSign! Does this mean the UN as a vested interest in which search engine my URL typo goes to?

Actually the Apple Newton stored and played wave and other sound file formats in a file system. That was 1993 to 1999 -d
Yes it did, as I recall (having owned two by that time). -d

Basically any job where technical knowledge is the primary skill set.
My theory is this: if your jobs involves the following:
You can be outsourced to another country because the company can move all three of those items to India (or where ever) and leave you in the street.
What exactly does this leave for US employees to do? Service jobs, that's what...
