SCO could have been Red Hat. They were THE Intel UNIX, and could have moved their huge, loyal base to Linux, and continued to grow it. They even had large hardware vendors supporting their OS when Linux was still a baby. Unfortunately, they decided to hire a short-sighted, litigious CEO. Good night, SCO. Good riddance, Darl.
Cell tower? Ever think he could be talking to his crew on the time machine, smart boy? It's clear to me from the video that is exactly what is happening.
I like how they circled back to the version numbers of 10 years ago. Ah, the good old days of kernel 2.0.36 and ext2. I remember the joy of getting my sound card working on that: "...and I pronounce Linux, Leenux".
Apple's domestic market share has doubled in the three years since moving to Intel. They moved to Intel just as Intel was introducing a great leap in technology. Going with Intel also allowed for virtualizing MS Windows or dual booting, eliminating most of the risk for switchers.
They bought PA Semi specifically for iPod/iPhone systems. It had nothing to do with Macs, so how is that a "flailing effort"? They haven't even introduced a PA Semi-designed product yet.
CUDA tech is basically what they are doing with Open CL in Snow Leopard, so nothing missed there.
You are a looking 0 for 3 to me.
You can pick up a low-end iPod touch for $230, which is cheaper than most touch screen universal remotes, so you could potentially use it as a dedicated device. You would still need (and I'm talking post-OS 3.0) a set of bluetooth infrared transmitters.
Ah, yes, you're right about that. I don't have problems with the manual sync if I have a solid data connection, but you're right, all folders should be synced at all times. Oh, another big one: email searching.
Exchange support is really good, actually, for the features supported. If you mean more complete Exchange support, I wholeheartedly agree: Out of Office setup, Schedule visibility when setting up meeting invitations, rich text editing, to do list syncing, etc.
There are about 15-20 million iPhones now. If you count Nokia's smartphone market share, and not include their budget handsets, their advantage is not so marked, and quite vulnerable.
If I can recognize all the people in my photos, then software can be made smart enough to do it. Sure, it's not there yet, but we all know how software advances, and things thought impossible 15 years ago are commonplace today.
There was no CS3 delay, they just said they wouldn't patch CS2. Pretty impressive, really. Now if they had to tried to move to XCode and reprogram their entire application suite in Cocoa during one release cycle, that may have caused a delay. Adobe has been incredibly supportive of Apple's OS, platform, and development environment changes. This is all a non-issue. CS5 will be here in 2 - 2 1/2 years and Adobe will finally be fully OSX native and 64-bit. The number of pros that will need to use Windows for it's 64-bitness on Photoshop is really, really small.
I have to wait for the business iPhone, as I need more or less full Exchange support, plus my company pays for my Blackberry and phone service. As soon as they have an exchange solution, I'm jumping ship. You could actually run a remote desktop client from a 3G iPhone and it would be usable. The iPhone could potentially beat the Blackberry as a business device, but they MUST come up with something to compete with BES. Jobs has to get his head around the idea that Apple can compete in the enterprise. They just need to focus on small niches at first; iPhone Enterprise Server for Exchange, digital asset management, get AD support right (buy Thursby if need be), etc. They don't have to be Microsoft to add value to business.

However, I would need to install iOS 5 on an iPhone 3G to really be able to perfectly reproduce the lag and latency that Android users have today.

Nice bonus, but $383,000,000 doesn't buy what it used to.
Once human consciousness can be stored in a machine, we can send relatively slow, machine-manned interstellar ships to explore the galaxy.
App Shop
Wow, one sensible post. There used to be a lot of these on Slashdot.
Now those responsible for TV programming can accurately calculate the lowest common denominator.
Hopefully, ActiveX.
I can't wait for super-colds to arrive, thanks to this breakthrough. The common cold is innocuous enough, so why force it to evolve?

Offtopic? Er, this is exactly the topic, moderator friends.

You mean to tell me Blockbuster is still in business? Who knew?

I'm thinking, pate that never goes bad.
VMware has an Alfresco appliance available for download that might be appropriate for you if you are just doing an evaluation.

I found VOIP somewhat usable over 56k dial up 10 years ago. It should be possible to make it work well over edge.

Anyone remember Olympic Decathalon for Apple ][ from Microsoft? That game must have destroyed thousands of keyboards.
