I would imagine the kernel bits are significantly different, though mere availability of source, if not previously available, would likely help.

Tiger's 200 New Features
·
· Score: 5, Informative
I think the most interesting new features of Tiger are under the hood. Those four new frameworks add an incredible amount of functionality into the base OS, which can be easily used by future applications. For examle, CoreImage adds tons of image processing features a la Photoshop, is extensible, and uses the GPU.
WIPO's decisions are pseudo-law, but are not the law (they are not a governmental body). Furthermore they are an international body. This decision by a US appellate court actually goes against the trend in WIPO case law, which had tended to favor the corporations without much recourse or chance of appeal. WIPO actually just published a casebook; seems like it may already be obsolete.
A corporation is a legal entity, not a (natural) person per se. A legal entity can enter into contracts in its own name, can be sued, can owe and be owed debts in its own name, etc. A natural person is a subset of legal entities. Corporations are another subset (as are partnerships, etc.). They don't have all the rights of a natural person, since they are the creations of the law.
Shareholders actually own a portion of the corporation. However, corporations are set up such that ownership and control are separated (which justifies shareholders having limited liability, and was the whole reason for the creation of the corporate form in the first place, that along with pooling of capital), with the board being legally charged with managing the corporation, and the officers the board's (legal) agents.
Don't act all high and mighty and try to justify pirating iLife 5. You're just being cheap. Buying a product does not guarantee you free updates forever, especially since iPhoto 4 still works fine (and it did for me, a lack of a feature that is in the new version is not a "flaw") even when iPhoto 5 is now out. It's like expecting Microsoft to give you a free Windows XP upgrade from 2000.

Actually, they bought Rolls/Bentley, but later found out to their chagrin that the Rolls name was owned by Rolls Royce Aircraft Engines and only licensed to Rolls the automaker. RR Aircraft Engines then licensed the name to BMW, who now make the "Rolls" Phantom (though it is on a bespoke platform built in a new factory and not a rebodied 7 series).
Carbon is just the old Mac OS 8/9 API pared down. You can write a Carbon program that runs natively on both OS 9 and OS X. Of course you can also write programs that only run natively on on or the other.l
A recent Stereophile review of the iPod showed that its analog output circuitry is as clean as most CD players (e.g. very little distortion, etc.). Good enough to plug into your high-end stereo rig if you use uncompressed audio files, apparently.
Apparently, AAC is the Cadillac of lossy encoding, with the highest quality for a given bitrate you can get. Developed by Bell Labs or something like that.
Uh, no. Quicktime relies on a lot of the non-Unix parts of Mac OS X (e.g. the value-added, not-in-Darwin, Mac OS parts that make Mac OS X more than just another Unix).

Take off and nuke the site from orbit, it's the only way to be sure
Tiger is going to have an all new sync framework. Should be much easier to add conduits.

Yes it involves encryption. The signal going to an Airport Express is encrypted Apple Lossless.
They just did: http://www.apple.com/ipod/download/

It's a jailed machine (see the jail man page).
