Perhaps it's time for Apple to develop a more "need to know" method of R&D so that everyone doesn't know all the information...
For instance, it worked in 1984 and Cube...
Oh, SNAP!!! Nevermind.
Moral of the story: unless you're planning on developing a "distopia" or a giant killing machine, employers have to rely trust. If that doesn't work, the next step is lawsuits.
I am a long-time Unix user. That means I need to have the Ctrl key to the left of the A key.
As such a long-time Unix user, when you get down off of your soapbox, you will have no problem spending the ten seconds it takes to redo your keymappings.
Then, you may eat your foot for a mid-afternoon snack.
That was the point about it working, as opposed to not working. I'm using 10.1 - maybe you're using Jaguar and they included that functionality. Can you type open http://www.apple.com and have it work?
open http://www.apple.com/ works just fine on my machine (10.2.2).
Try open location http://www.apple.com/. If that works, you can alias "openURL" to "open location". Then you can just type "openURL http://www.apple.com/"
Hmmm. This entire discussion appears to be the result of another inconsistency in Apple's Tools...
"Apple is not supporting DRM (until they have to) because the people in their niche market (now two niche markets; people too stupid to use windows and people who want stable Unix on the desktop, plus I suppose a third niche of people with too much money who want a pretty case and a pretty GUI and don't care what OS they run) don't particularly want it, and it would cost them money to implement."
What about those users who create the content that DRM unreasonably tries to control?
You seem to have forgetten that a lot of artists and musicians use Macs.
While someone with a mod point to blow thought this comment was insightful, I would have to disagree. If you're going to stereotype a user base, please do some research first.
Is it just me, or does Will Ferrell in a Santa Suit remind you of the scene in Trading Places (83) where a very drunk Dan Akroyd wanders around in a Santa suit stealing food at a stock broker's christmas party...
I read through this thread and was shocked by the number of people who claim to know Apple's exact intentions...
Probably none of us know, but I can say for sure that Apple's programmers are smart enough that they wouldn't have used WebDAV if they wanted all the.Mac stuff to proprietary. It is as simple as that.

Let's hope this stays a rumor.

Please rectify this error as soon as humanly possible.
Boy, I love watching people eat their feet. I'd join you, but I've already had dinner.
Try "USA2" instead of "USA1"... Before I posted this it was getting better throughput.
I can't say whether or not I like 'em yet though...

Explain to me how your script is better than typing open http://www.apple.com/. You don't even need aliases.
Please don't take offense when I say that your script is like using a machine gun to kill an ant.

I want to see this!
oh, it is just me? nevermind then.

You first. :-)

We will all see Apple's actions soon enough.
