Apple has a solution for this. Xsan is a distrubuted filesystem that is based on the ADIC's StoreNext filesystem. Apple states on that page that it will scale into the range of petabytes.
Ummm... On the Apple site is says 150 Hours of Video right there on the front page. Encoded in H264 no doubt, but 150 hours none the less. No to shabby
yeah, except the last time I checked E-85 costs significantly less than your good old octane 87. Here in Illinois 87 octane is $2.35 where as E-85 is $1.64. In the end you still end up saving money even with the lowered fuel economy.
Okay Here is the deal. iTunes is based on a MP3 player application Apple bought from Casady & Greene called Soundjam MP. Apple bought this app in 2001 and re-designed it into iTunes. Casady & Greene first released Sound Jam MP Two years before Apple bought them. So that would put the desing of the app at about the same time the patent was issued.
Just to clarify my above facts a little bit, Casady & Greene published SoundJam they weren't the developers. So it looks like the individuals that may or may not have been privy to the deep dark secrets of this patent originally cam from the SoundJam developer team.
now by no means was SoundJam the first MP3 player on the market, so there is going to be prior art all over this.
Most Likely because WebObjects now only runs in OS X. Dell probably hasn't used WebObjects for about 7 years now, right about the time Apple bought Next. It was there original store that was coded in WebObjects.
As of now WebObjects developer is free. Your can develop with only a copy of Apples free dev tools. Now Deploying requires a License of 10.4 Server which will put you back $499 ($299 if your educational). This dev kit you talk about was the Tiger quick start kit, to allow developers to get tiger early. Apple's Dev Tool have been free from the start. Stop spreading FUD.
In other new the rumblings around WWDC was that Apple is planning on open sourcing WebObjects, which would then make it free. More on that here.
Apple has trademarked tiger, you can see the listing Here. It wasn't registered before TigerDirect existed, but its a registered trademark, in a different category, that was accepted by the uspto.
I don't see how its that much of an open and shut case.
Now if apple re-branded the Apple Store as "Tiger Store" then I would see the problem. Or if a direct link to the Apple Store came up in a search for Tiger.
Your missing the point once again. 32bit UI is faster and that is what the average user will care about. This all doesn't mean that the application can't take advantage of 64 bit pointers. It just means that Apple's interface elements were not upgraded to use 64bit pointers. There are still methods for allowing these pro apps to use 64bits in their complex computation. My guess is that the pro apps will have a 32bit GUI that talks to a 64bit backend with something similar to what apple refers to as Shared Objects now. This way you have your 64bits for complex computation and your 32bit fast GUI, the best fo both worlds
Remember: 64bits doesn't make computing 1+1 faster, but it makes computing (2^32) + 1 faster
Am I the only one excited about the core data technology? In every write up of Tiger I have seen so far have not mentioned this new technology.
I mean come on. It gives you save, undo and redo functionality for free, no extra coding. Plus if you make good use of cocoa bindings in interface builder you could build a complete simple application with out writing a single line of code manually. That is pretty freaking sweet.
Maybe its just the geek in me but I think its cool. Plus you can save in multiple different file formats, binary, xml, or sqllite.
Don't forget that apple doesn't run 100% IMC PPC compliers. who knows how code complied with the xlc compliers would run on the motorola/freescale chips that are in the PB/iBook/eMac/Mini.
The point is not that Apple is the ultimate entity for deciding what goes into OS X. That point is redundant. Linus is the ultimate authority for what gets in the linux kernel, he could decide, "You know what I don't want to patch the kernel sources to fixed this uber-r00tkit hack", but he has a vested interest. If Linux looks insecure then businesses won't use it. The same goes for Apple. They want in the business market more than anyone at the moment.
The point of this is that Apple, as a company, is not the only people audting the code of OS' various systems. For example, Who audits the IIS code, the MS IIS team. Who audits the code for the web server used in OS X, Lets see the Apache foundation, Apple, Various linux distro maintainers, Security professionals, whitehats, etc, etc. etc.... Who is the source of all IIS paches, MS. Apache patches could come from any of the above sources. I'm sure at some point in the not too distant future more patches will come directly from Apple and show up in the changelogs of various open source software packages. Especially now that apple isn't cranking out a new OS revision every year.
In the end it comes down to the closed vs. open source security argument. IMHO open source will ultimately be more secure.
Wow. That's a fun exploit... I can't wait to go tell my boss why our site links to a pron site on google.
All kidding aside this could be a major problem for some of the more controversial websites. Akin to the Googlebombing that was just mentioned yesterday this could be the next major attack scheme on the net. Imagine a pro-life site subverting a pro-choice site, Neo-nazi's subverting a site intended for Jewish children, the US government subverting Al Jazera...
Not a whole lot of fun IMHO. I trust google to return what I search for, if this changes I and a whole lot of other nerds are going to be left wandering aimlessly around the net.
In fact, speaking of the RIAA, and assuming that Apple were to lose this case... what would you bet that the RIAA would buy that patent outright, and only license "oligopoly friendly" players after that?
Or Apple could just buy the patent from them with all that freaking money thy have in the bank. Or maybe if said company is publicly traded (which I doubt) Apple will just start a hostile takeover.
Which government stoare have you been to that sells DVD's?
Have you ever been on a military base? They typically have a "Walmart type" store that sells DVDs, music, etc... At least overseas bases have in my experience.
Tiger will run on G3 - G5. There were still iBooks shipping less than 2 years ago that still had G3 processors. Apple's window for supported machines is normaly about 4 - 5 years so I would find it hard to believe that apple would leave those G3 and G4 out in the cold.. Not to mention that only like 10% of Mac owners have a G5.
I mean come on. The keynote was two days ago. It was reported on slashdot both before and after it was announced, and it has been on every other website on the planet, not to mention on all of the early morning news programs, evening news, and on the back of my milk carton this morning. Is anyone reading over this stuff anymore

Well, the short answer is yes.
It uses JDBC database connectivity and OS X Server ships with MySQL installed.
Hey and one year from today is 6-6-6. Wierd.

Er... Correction WebCore is LGPL so that part about the Apple Open Source license is redundant
This code is in the WebCore which is one of Apple's Open Source projects.
Check it out here.
So if the KHTML team wants to put this code in the main khtml tree they can. Since Apple's Open Source License is GPL compatable

It's great for prototyping things, but i just can't imagine running something critical on it.
What like Slashdot?
You may say its not critical but can you imagine the conniption fits hundreds of thousands of nerds would have if they couldn't get their slashdot

You have a syntax error there. You are assigning the property good to MS Office. You should really be using the comparison operator ==
therfore your statement should read: MS Office == good
Just to jump the gun and answer your next question, the value of that expression will be false.
Or maybe Motorola will build the phone, with apple branding. that Steve Jobs is a wily little ...
Better stop before I piss any one off.
So they are just going to install firefox over IE. Ha ha, we win...
