There's also an advantage in big-endian schemes involving being able to check the sign of a number earlier because it's included in the first byte of the data memory space.
It seems to me as though he is referring to derivative works when he says "code" in the last sentence of the quote. I do not profess to have a complete understanding of these licensing issues, but with what I do know it seems as though the quote is fundamentally accurate if this interpretation is used.
My guess is that your experience is a couple years old. Since laptop (and wireless equipment) prices have been coming down over the course of the last year or two, it's incredibly convenient to drop the $ for a wireless router and use that for your laptop's network access.
Now IANAL, but I'm pretty sure that would violate the settlement with Apple Records. I mean, they were pissed about the iPod, let alone a freakin' record label.
What about Centrino? Moore's "Law" can be applied in more than one way. Even if an Intel bean counter doesn't realize the full implication of the decreased feature size, the fact that I haven't heard my laptop fan come on to any audible speed since the 2 seconds after power-on makes me believe that the Intel engineers have figured this one out.

Wow, I was pretty sure RPN was something my data structures prof made up when he was introducing the concept of stacks.
When asked for an explanation of their decision, the judges declined to comment, instead choosing to take turns breathing heavily into the phone.
