Microsoft would never be that stupid. That's why they owned most of the PC market right up until the PC became irrelevant. At this point the only thing that matters is if your platform "does the web"
I'm guessing that there are certain problems you can't solve with FSA so you've got to leverage the more exotic computing that happens in the fabric of reality... or at least that makes nice sounding techno-babble.
I didn't watch the episode in question, but based on your description it sounds like the entire thing was an exercise in pushing buttons and seeing what the response would be.
That was my impression. No representation of Muhammad was shown that could not have also been used to represent Faye Dunaway or Milton Berle.
Part of the plot of the episode was the characters worrying that Muhammad was going to appear in their town. They kept asking "is that okay" in the episode... representations of Muhammad as a stick figure to Muhammad inside a U-Haul prompt worried questions from the characters... eventually the characters opt to place Muhammad in a full-body bear suit so he was not visible.
IMHO the best destiny for Adobe's tools now is to work as a meta-language for HTML5 + CSS + JavaScript... in other words all that Flash/ActionScript business needs to compile down to HTML5 related tech. So you *can* write HTML5 in the raw if you want but developers will still want to use their tool kit for the productivity boost it ostensibly gives them.
Well... in the opinion of people who like those tools anyhow.
[stating the obvious because it is fun] I've been suspecting that mobile devices are already the "PC" or "Internet" of this decade. This seems to support the idea. I'm sure to most of the smart folks on/. this is blindingly obvious but to many mainstream people this will be a revelation. So my next thought is: If the mobile devices are the next probable source for an internet-bubble like bonanza... how do I get in on the action? I wonder if there's a mainstream open source mobile operating system that I can write code for... hmm... [/stating the obvious because it is fun]
If you're a DRM/malware/virus developer... I will sleep very comfortably tonight, because you had to ask about this on Slashdot, signaling once more that you're doing it wrong.
I see what you did there.
If said project was a DRM project I would equate this to the project requirement I got they didn't ask for "faster than light travel between Seattle, Atlanta, and New York" instead they asked for "millisecond data replication between all three data centers"... which I had to call "baloney" on. Your DRM project should specify "make it cheaper to buy the product than it is to steal the product" then everyone will be happy.

For the record. I was trolling.
The one where Apple isn't stupid and self-defeating. Unfortunately, our parallel reality's probability wave collapsed when you commented on this post.

... why can't you?
I just checked... you got your research fully funded!
I'm guessing that there are certain problems you can't solve with FSA so you've got to leverage the more exotic computing that happens in the fabric of reality... or at least that makes nice sounding techno-babble.
I sappurt this.
+1 inciteful.
Uh, I'd like to move to the other side of the planet first before you set this off. Okay?
Nobody ever thinks of the chicken either.
No matter what was done there was going to be a lawsuit because billions were on the line. Billions in ticket sales or billions in funeral costs.
No, no... Pedro Bear would have been much funnier... like saying "webbernets" or "intertubes"

"is that okay?"
I guess not.
"it feels even nicer in your pants"
*LOL* ... that's in the article.
bah, I make all the formal decisions. /waves hand dismissively.
Informal meetings are great. Formal meetings should die. They waste time that could be saved by things like pre-recorded webinar thingies.

So, this is obviously an invitation to another party.
Or a trap.
You've been listening to Admiral Ackbar too much.
