The suggestion that people should use CLIs instead of GUIs so that they can understand how their computers work at a fundamental level seems kind of ironic to me. CLIs were originally introduced as just another layer of abstraction. When you type "ls", you don't really think that you're sending the command directly to your CPU, do you? The command shell processes the text that you input, interprets it, and cranks out a result (I oversimplify, of course). Even your file system is just another level of abstraction, as is the C or C++ code that you type in to be compiled. On the other hand, additional abstraction can simplify user tasks tremendously and make learning curves much shallower. Try writing a "hello, world" program in ASM^H^H^H octal, and then in Perl or Python or C or java or whatever, and see how much easier it is!

18. The computer of claim 14 wherein the pointer is a stylus.
19. The computer of claim 14 wherein the computer is a hand-held computer.
In other words, this only applies to PDA's and tablet PC's.
Yes, but these benchmarks were done using only one of the computer's CPUs. So this should be significantly faster if the other CPU is enabled.

A few years ago, this most certainly would have been true. However, at this point, it would probably be ok to say that web browsers mimic the functionality of internet appliances, even if it the traditional view is that internet appliances mimic the functionality of web browsers. And Quicktime is one of the oldest applications to have a brushed-metal look, and its functionality is quite similar to that of a TV and VCR.
No, this is intended to be a feature. To change it, go to Safari -> Preferences. Go to the "General" preferences and set the "Remove download list items" option to "manual." Hopefully, this will solve your problem.

Apple has a trademark on the name "Tiger" in the category "computer operating system software." More information here.
Wow! That gives a new meaning to the error message "Carrier Lost"
