- iMovie can use iPhotos to turn your photos into a "pan and zoom" movie on one or more pictures (the "Ken Burns effect") - All of the iLife apps can use iTunes (as you note) - I wouldn't be surprised if iDVD uses iPhoto so you can find stills for DVD menu backgrounds. Also, I think you can burn a picture DVD with 25K photos or something. - Ditto Garage Band > iLife apps (adding your composed music everywhere you use pre-recorded music with iTunes now)
Disclaimer: I have not used iDVD or Garage Band, but these are things I have seen Steve demo or are reasonable speculation.
Note that this price does not have any bearing on whether or not you have the prior versions of these apps. It's not like Mac OS X Upgrade CDs that won't install if you don't have the requisite prior versions of the OS.

What you say is not an issue with "Windows users" it's an issue with (some) people.
Complaining always takes less effort than taking responsibility for fixing it yourself (by learning and/or switching).
As a 10 year occupant of a call center (no longer on the phones, thankfully), I'm amazed at the Slashdot crowd. The call centers I've worked in, visited and called where English is the native language often contain "native" speakers who cannot complete a sentence.
As a trainer, any time someone sounds like they're reading from a script, it's because they don't understand the technology they're supporting.
People who know technology won't take entry level jobs, at least, not for long. People who don't know technology will, but they don't make good technicians.
I notice no one is offering to pay more for their software and hardware so that good quality people can be hired and retained. You (don't) get what you (don't) pay for.
I will not buy this application, it is scratched!

Your points seem to be: 1. Aqua is proprietary and Apple's X11 is slow. 2. ELF is standard and mach-O is not 3. Netinfo holds most OS X configuration info and is non-standard. 4. Apple deliberately breaks compatibility
1. No Apple's X11 is hardware accelerated on the graphics cards Apple ships. 2. As others have pointed out, mach-O is an executable format from NeXT. Since Mac OS X runs the Mach kernel, perhaps this is a better choice. Mac OS X also supports the CFM (Code Fragment Manager) format used by legacy Mac OS X apps. There is also a PEF format, but I'm a little vague on whether that runs on OS X or not. 3. NetInfo is used for user records and some configuration information, but most is stored in plain old text files. They may not all be the standard UNIX files. 4. Apple tries very hard to be compatible, except where compatibility breaks standards-compliance. In Mail and Safari, for example, do you render broken MIME and HTML just because "It looks right on windows" despite being non-compliant? Apple keeps adding support for filename extensions, SMB file and print sharing, CUPS, IPSec, IPv6 and much, much more.
Perhaps if you post specific, relevant details instead of meandering rants, you'll give someone something they can investigate or disprove. Being vague helps nothing.
The software's quality aside, it's an awful code name. Why would you name your product after a stereotypical wino beverage? It's inauspicious, to say the least.
IP over FireWire is most useful when the Ethernet port is in use (such as, on a server). Let's say you have a full-time web server, serving over its ethernet interface. Say you need to upload more content, but you can't take that ethernet port or that server offline. You can upload the content and let the ethernet continue to serve as much as it can. It's handy and you don't need a complex networking solution.
Also, consumer machines can have faster file transfers without shutting one machine down into target disk mode. I think it's supposed to be simple and fast, not scalable and fastEST.
I never understood how the word "Shack" was supposed to convey competence with technology. If it's so convincing, how come we don't see: - Grammaphone Hovel - Victrola Shanty - 8-Track Barn - Dictaphone Slum

Here is an Apple Employee named "Bo3B" I guess you pronounce it "Bob", but I couldn't be sure.
Gee, is it no pants day already?
Thank you, Mr. Spock!
Never underestimate the drawing power of the word "boobies" in a thread.
Heck some software vendors force you to upgrade, force you to pay for the upgrade, and upgrades have worse features than the original software. ;)
SOME!?!?
I think Chewbacca was killed off in a book series. Maybe that's what you were thinking of?

You can request this feature at:

There is a feedback page for just about every iApp and for Safari. There are links to them from the App's application menu.
It's Command S (well, command-s). I mean, you don't have to hold the shift key.
In fact, I'm posting this from single-user mode right now.

I live in the country of Texas. A 3 second Google search turns up this.
The 5 (really cheap "fortified") wines include:
- Night Train Express (see other comment above)
- Thunderbird
- Cisco
OK. So maybe there's a precedent. That explains why my CSCO stock tanked.
I guess I'll go look for a bottle (box?) of:
- Transient's Treat
- Ignorant Splashdotter Farms
- Midnight Puddle
- Garbage Gall(e)on
- Dumpster Delight

I guess it depends what you value most. Size, capacity or style?
