I work at Habitat 40 hours a week, it's my job. I'm also a geek, and love the advance of new tech like this, enabling my friends in small bands and record labels to distribute their stuff without spending tons of cash on webservers and hosting.
They've been trying to do this for over a year now, and still no good progress. To completely redo the FFox interface in standard cocoa widgets is hard to do and keep feature parity. Anyways, I thought one purpose of OSS was to have a choice? Camino is a slim, lightweight browser that does one thing -> Browse the Web. FireFox is now an ecosystem of a program, where you can browse the web, take notes, do ftp transfers and much more.

So if the owner of the picture has decided to not allow downloads, the Flash applet prevents you from doing so without a fair amount of extra effort. I think it's serving it's purpose quite well.
In the context given, and the general climate of not just SlashDot, but modern society, the remark made would most commonly be used to imply that the person is homosexual, and use that as a slander towards them. Or I could just be talking out of my ass. One of the two.
This is assuming that what you're doing is coding. If you're writing a music review, you may need iTunes/XMMS/Winamp playing. If you're blogging, you may need Omniweb/Epiphany/Firefox open. It all depends on what you're doing.
Actually, if you look at it, you can see that Apple didn't lower the price of the iPod. If you were to buy all the accessories separately now that used to come with it, it comes out as more expensive.
And if you establish a precedent of being able to defend such a patent, going after a larger company later will be easier (in theory). IANAL, but I do love it.
That raises the question of whether or not the next "winner" will be because of the search tech, or the interface/options given. It's possible that some users will want the sleek, yet "feature rich" interface of a9. I'm not a regular user of it yet, but I'm willing to give it a chance.
I think that Amazon a8 search is quite cool, and it comes with a link to it's crossplatform Firefox toolbar on the front page. It's cached searches and resizable image columns are quite cool. I don't use it more than google, but it could be a contender.
Books are even better, and you can get them FOR FREE from the library. Seriously, stop finding fucking gadgets that don't require any imagination to babysit kids.
Alt+tab does not cycle JUST through the application windows. This is something that I found I missed sorely when going back to my PC. I didn't want to cycle through each single window and application, I just wanted the windows from say, Microsoft Word.
CMD+M is more convenient and quite frankly, more intuitive than ALT SPACE N for minimizing.
I've never had to change the default settings to access the dock or menu from the keyboard. Hm.
What are you talking about. You can access the menus and dock and everything completely from the keyboard by default. And in fact, since switching to the Mac, there are tons of things available on it that aren't on the PC. These include CMD+` for cycling through current application windows, CMD+M for minimizing windows, the ability to print directly to PDF's, so on and so forth.
These are basically my feelings as well. While idealistically, the idea of open source appeals to me, the reality is that my preference in software always leans towards closed source products (Proteus over Adium for IM, Omniweb over Firefox for web, OSX over Linux). However, the three companies I just mentioned have earned my trust over time. They know how to treat their customers well, and support the community surrounding them.

I'd be happy if they re-enabled my Motorola v60's iSyncing. It worked fine in Panther, now it's broken.
This isn't flamebait. This is a valid and common concern amongst Mac users who look for interface consistency throughout their applications.

This is /. after all.

HELP HELP, I'M BEING OPPRESSED!
Let's hear it for implied homophobia!

The saving grace for my powerbook. God I love this program, and my laptop.

Religion demands genocide? What god(s) are you worshipping?
Or a an OSX feature, available quite easily to all trackpad users.
The troll rating for this is hilarious. Sarcasm 101.
Damn you and your grammar, logic, and whatnot.
*off of, not of off. that makes no sense.
Well, YDL is based of off Red Hat. So, could be.
Except for the fact that the investors have no input into the decision making process. All of that power was left to the original founders.
