"Unauthorized" is ambiguous. 99% of sites do identify what is authorized. Nor where Betamax laws come.
And here's another complex situation: Am I stealing a downloaded movie when it I have a Netflix account and it is available for rent? Technically I have paid for the use of that film.
I know that on the Apple platform, Symantec was the defacto solution. However, for the last 5-6 years they completely abandoned the Mac. The last thing you want are zealots speaking against you.
Those in house "x86 editions" have been using Rosetta. There isn't a full port yet. Regardless of what you _believe_ you should research Apple's Rosetta.
I doubt that anything in Apple's operating system is left emulated.
Apparently you haven't been paying attention. Apple _may_ port the entire OS to Intel chips but all the software you own hasn't and may not be. For that reason Apple has come up with Rosetta, which functions like emulation, and means that your apps will not be running at the same speeds it runs on a PowerPC chip.
Also, any Classic apps you use will not work.
Also note, Appple still hasn't made the current OS 100% 64 bit and in all the previous OS transitions have left several components incomplete in the porting.
Do some searches on Apple's Rosetta to discover more of the details of the change to Intel.
If I need a new computer, I think its better to buy the tried and true hardware architecture, than to be a tester for the Mactels. Especially if I use it for work. I want stability and thats what these computers have.
The second reason is to take advantage of lower prices.
Remember, OS X will be running, in part, in emulation on the Wintel. Its probably best to wait 2 years to buy a Mactel.
*** I think Apple's motive is to sell out all its chips.
I remember wy back in 1995 when work got email and how it changed everything. Email saps up at least the first 2 hours of the day.
Also, people like me use email for business communication. We need to check it frequently to make sure the info we have been waiting for hasnt arrived. (I made client make make sounds so I dont have to look).
What I am afraid of is how much I am addicted to blogs like Slashdot.com. For myself, reading blogs is the biggest time waster.
Family Guy's return was probably Seth MacFarlane bargaining the return of Family Guy if the Buy American Dad.
Or, Fox already paid for American Dad, but its potiential was dimmed by Family Guy's demand. ("This is just a cheap version of Family Guy...")
Pick any theory combination from this matrix: Fox, Seth, Family Guy, American Dad.
Personal Data Assistant (PDA): A PDA is a handheld device (e.g. Palm Pilot®, PocketPC®, etc.) that may combine many computing activities. PDAs that are more powerful may function as cellular phones, fax transmitters, web browsers, and personal organizers.

What about the paper based "organizer." Or items an abbacus? Stop watches? Anything that is protable and and manages data, really.
Also, did he mention the first uses of touchscreens?
I dunno. Its kinda hard to read in that format. He needs some CSS formatting. I stopped reading.
Seems like a better solution would be to put anklets on the sex offenders that set off an alarm when a certain distance to a location. Each location would purchase/lease the "antenna" thus supporting the network financially. Two types antenna would be sold - one for institutions like schools and a second for private citizens.
Each anklet would transmit a code identifing the criminal. The attenna would record the number as well as notify local police of the infringement. At that time the dispatcher would identify both the criminal and the location dto decide whether to send out a car.
For web browsers, I prefer people use browsers with the least idosycrancies and that are complient to standards. Nothing is more aggravating than having to design web sites with a half dozen exeptions to the general code.
As a Macintosh user, I have that sites and apps block Mac users - even when we are compatible! Yahoo is a good example of a site designing only for WIN OS. Their multinmedia services just block Macs eventhough technology exists that would allow the site to work. However, see the first paragraph:D
I think this is a great idea. Open Office works on MacOS X and Linux. Linux can run on basically any computer (including things like PSP and iPods). If public schools adopted an open source first policy, it would save taxpayers huge amounst of money on software licensing and enable schools to aquaire more computers (pratically any computer will do). The same schools could offer classes in maintaining Linux, IT, and programming. Students could graduate HIGHSCHOOL with enough skills to get a good paying job. The teacher hired for the position should be a skilled IT person to maintain the schools system (double usage!). As he fixes computers, he could teach the students what he is doing.
First of all you left out leading the market to CDs and DVDs, Firewire, USB, aintercompatibility (with Win removables since the early 90s, Win networking since OSX) And more.
The Cube wasn;t a mistake, it was too expensive. I don;t know about now with the advent of the mini, but last year when I was shopping for a used, discontinued Cube the aftermarket price was still in the $700-900. Mistakes are not highly valued.
The Newton was a ground maker just like the colored iMacs. It established all the qualities that Palm embraced and made core to its very successful product.
As for one button mouse - thats a myth. The Mac's one button mouse does BOTH the functions of the left button and right button on a WIN machine.
Before one critiques the Apple/Mac legacy they have to familar with it. ie expandibility.
The Mac Mini is intended to compete with other lowend machines. Expandibility isn;t an important criteria (although I guarantee that you'll be able to expand it just like a Cube: new HDs, RAM, video cards, CPUS. JUst like a WINtel!) Apple's desktops have always been expandible. Ask me and I give you a detailed history of the upgrades I have done - and some that will knock your socks off!
Another little tidbit about Apple machine's 99% of the time you don't even have to add a driver for new devices because the OS can figure itout (since OS9) - and those are devices built for Wintels!
The only thing the Mac community lacks are scores of half-assed components that are never compatible and make the machine crash more than it boots.

Apparently these folks are unaware that everytime you download a webpage and its graphics you are using copyrighted material.
Thats the big hole in all this piracy house of mirrors. Songs and movies are not the only copyrighted material "downloaded" on the internet.
I wonder if this makes my web browser cache illegal?

Here in San Jose, CA there are about 900 thousand people. I think this accomplisshment is a little over stated when it compares to one american city.

Buy a used Palm Pilot, MS Word for the Pilot, and a fold up keyboard. Less than 200.00.

And its copyright protected: "Staytuned for a 'Fresh' episode of' some crap on the WB.
Bring new episodes to TV on Adult Swim! Geeze, you'd think these guys who are running the show would have a clue about market and demographic.
You should add "G4" to the blurb
The whole point of using a library internet terminal is to be anonymous!
Also, from the articale "Apple did invent the actual term "personal digital assistant" PDAs existed before Apple marketing team got involved.

Is that true, or is it "Personal Data Assistant?"
Mentioned. Fictional.
Back in 1990 or somethingI was using digital devices that held addresses, calendars and notes... I think this is very incomplete.

What the hell does the RIAA care about monopolies? Apple's system limits piracy!
If you have music sources from other companies simply convert them to MP3s and you can playthem on an iPod.
I swear, it's like people want someone else to wipe their own ass.
