What does Apple (the company) itself think of all this? I suppose it could see it as an advantage, more apps for it's OS, but they might also see it as more competition.
Strange that nobody has said anything about Apple yet, considering that it's http://apple.slashdot.org/!
Looks like a good book, as are most O'Reilly tech books. I'm still wondering, though: What's with the animals on their covers? What does a flamingo (!) have to do with Dynamic HTML?!
What?! Nobody's mentioned Slashdot yet? Slashdot is my "website of knowledge"! Up-to-date news (well, mostly!) about computers really beats the encyclopedia articles made five years ago. Of course, Webopedia is good too...
Someone should develop a "Free Patent Foundation" - with parallels to the GNU, but for intellectual discoveries, inventions, etc. Though these wouldn't make the developers a lot of money, it could really benefit humankind.
I believe, as an Apple fan, that Apple should make a really good phone for all us geeks wishing we had big wallets. They could get Jonathan Ive to do it, and put a *scaled-down* version of OS X on it. Plus, they could call it the iPhone! (It has a *ring* to it, yuk yuk...) I would definitely buy one (if I had said big wallet).
It seems to me that lately (Matrix excluded) movies have been abandoning good plot and good acting for plain special FX. It's the same with 'Star Trek' - TOS was good, NG was the best, then it went downhill. The original Star Wars trilogy was an outstanding success, but then good ol' George decided to "get with the times" and abandon what could have been great. Hopefully movie-makers are just going through a 'phase' and will eventually return to making good plots and acting.

What about liquids? I wouldn't want my corn-container to dissolve while sitting in my fridge!

"Future Soldier to have Massive Network"
Hmm. They better have their 'Massive Network' pretty well secured. (Think about this article.) Would it be protected against, say, electronic jamming?
Or... Cheney: "The al-Qaida operatives have slashdotted our soldier network! Gasp!"
"Sadly most of the public are probably too ignorant to even want that control."
Or, likewise, too ignorant to know that Microsoft can control them!
