Apple screws up something that causes them to back out of MacWorld.
You're still going to have to explain this one to me. I know what "screw up" you're talking about.
Apple talking about pulling out of MacWorld if they move from New York to Boston is a strategic move. No one knows exactly what they plan. Stuff like this is the kind of thing that gets Pixar the sweet distribution deal they have with Disney, a deal no other company would dream of having.
Apple probably doesn't want to seem like they are deserting NYC in their "time of pain." Well, they probably want to at least make it look like they put up a fight.
Of course though if OS/2 had swapped with Windows, then slashdotters wouldn't have Microsoft to talk about, we'd probably be bashing IBM.
No, if OS/2 were currently the most popular OS, it would have been because Microsoft never bailed on it and there was a successful transition from MS-DOS/Windows to OS/2. So, we'd still be upset with Microsoft, although no where near as much because the OS wouldn't suck as much and they'd probably only have 80% of the market (many would have defected during the transition).
Mozilla launches one minute faster than Internet Explorer on my computer at work. There's something seriously wrong with all of my MS apps. They all take about a minute to load and display whatever file I double-clicked on. I'm going to have to do my yearly rebuild of Windows early this year.
Use your free software freely, I have no problem with that. Hopefully, sooner or later, it will become as well designed as OS X.
However, you use discontinue sources of hardware for your computing experience that support DRM. This means that you should cease purchasing Intel products and AFAIK AMD products. That doesn't leave you with a whole lot (because of the Wintel monopoly of the PC realm) of choice. However, Apple is a good one.
Buy your hardware from Apple and install whatever Free Software OS you want!
Yea that means making it more like Windows but that seems be what 95% of the population wants...
No it doesn't. It means getting a standard GUI design together, and getting most of the distros to agree to install that as default. It can work like Classic Macs, NeXT, Mac OS X, Solaris, Windows, or something else. As long as it is consistent!
None of what you described solves the problem that Red Hat solved. The problem is that Linux users use both Gnome and KDE apps. If the two don't look similar, then it is very confusing. They made them look similar and now Red Hat has a more consistent look.
That's why people are switching from Linux and Windows to OS X -- for a consistent look and feel.
I can do all of the above with this little @ that I have in my menu bar. I can't remember the name of the menu extra, but it allows easy access to e-mail addresses and phone numbers in Address Book.
You're blaming Apple for problems with EphPod? iTunes thought that you had attached an iPod that had been synced on that computer and since then you'd changed your iTunes Library to have different songs, so it synchronized the iPod as it should have.
You do know that you can manage songs manually as well, right?
Yep, I use my AirPort card with my Linksys WAP/Router and am can even see someone else in my neighborhood's Linksys WAP in the list available networks under the AirPort menu. Ease of use & range.

OmniWeb properly supports drag and drop. I look forward to OmniWeb 5.
I think iTunes installs k-exts for the iPod.
There are hotties at Target in Charlotte, too. There's a Target in Cary?
I think there are QuickTime kernal extensions. QuickTime is part of the overall Mac OS X foundation as well as being a player application.
Slashdot posted a new topic on me.
I don't know about you guys, but I've been using the magic of the Internet to finger Stevie Case across state lines for quite a while now.

Software Update only requires a reboot when stuff makes changes to the kernel.

No. I don't think Apple needs to be associated with someone with the same lack of scrupples as Microsoft.
What are you talking about? That's the worst analogy I've ever heard.

You're right, that review really is much better.
How are you supposed to fight DRM across the board while you're still sponsoring it's chief proponents (Intel & AMD)?

Your first sentence doesn't make sense.
What hardware are you going to run this Linux on when all of your precious x86 hardware won't boot a non-DRM OS?
No it doesn't. It means getting a standard GUI design together, and getting most of the distros to agree to install that as default. It can work like Classic Macs, NeXT, Mac OS X, Solaris, Windows, or something else. As long as it is consistent!

Apple plunking a x86 into Mac architecture isn't an IBM clone.
That said, moving from PowerPC to x86 would be a very bad move. Hopefully IBM's GPUL makes its way to Macs soon.
