And Firefox mobile is not available on iOS. However, the Ghostery App is. It's a free WebKit-based (has to be) bare-bones browser that automatically keeps itself up to date with Ghostery's block list.
> You don't see ten meter-kilograms of torque listed in a technical manual anywhere across the globe, do you?
Nope. The unit is Newton-metres. Now, does anybody want to argue about standardisation of spelling?
If you have no religious objections, take a look at Apple's Mac Mini Server package. It's reasonably priced (for some value of reasonable), and supplies all the components you need, apart from that big external RAID you'll want for shares and back-ups. But, before you jump, check out this review.
The NYT story does not square at all with this recent CNN Money piece, which, among much else, describes how the Reality Distortion Field was being applied six months before product release to turn Gorilla Glass from a discarded research project into a mass-produced product.
Mac OS X's firewall -- basically a limited GUI for the FreeBSD ipfw facility -- is configured out of the box in just the same way: only incoming TCP traffic is examined. If you want to diddle with UDP or with outgoing TCP connections, you need to use the command line and poke around in logfiles -- not for the faint-hearted. Or there's a shareware system preference panel, Little Snitch, that can do a lot of the diddling for you. I dare say that something similar will quickly appear for Vista. You'll just have to persuade your system that it's trustworthy...
I can't speak from personal experience, but Computer Shopper UK gives the 60GB fifth-generation iPod a so-so review. You'll have to search their site for it, as I can't give you a deep link. Their main beef: "we noticed distorted bass when using many of the presets. This was most noticeable on dance and hip-hop tracks with a prominent drumbeat and happened irrespective of listening volume.... [W]e expect exceptional sound quality from a £300 MP3 player, and in this respect the iPod disappoints."
It's all about Digital Rights Management. Microsoft is likely increasingly to integrate its proprietary DRM system into Windows -- see, for example, http://news.com.com/2100-1025_3-1000411.html. Future versions of Internet Explorer will, in turn be integrated with those operating system services. Which they can't be on Mac OS, because the services won't be there. Hence Mac OS gets left behind (at least in the Microsoft world view) with an IE version that knows nothing of Microsoft DRM.

Apple just got a patent on a solution (for a specific case): Progress indicator for loading dynamically-sized contents.
