> As an Apple fan this keynote was very disappointing. $20 to update the ipod touch firmware, you have to be kidding!
Whilst I take the point it's software and software can occasionally cost money. If this should have been in from day 1 is a slightly different argument
In my (limited) opinion I think that Sun follow roughly the same business model in the enterprise that Apple do for the consumer - and limited business desktop market.
Develop software to sell the hardware and provide the full experience with Sun One product suite etc.
Pretty good point. I would hazard a guess and say those flash memory supply mountains could be in reserve for the iPhone though rather than a flash based laptop.
I'm sorry I don't know which of this post is the most inaccurate.
And as for "playing around" with the latest Unix software then fine it's certainly not the demographic that Apple or Microsoft are aiming for.
BTW I work as a Solaris/RedHat admin and each has their own pros and consbut I think all this chat about "well it must be wrong because I do it this way" is all too subjective..
The game you are referring to is Elite I believe and IMHO one of the best games ever produced. In 32k of RAM. Which is the most anyone should need frankly !
Also the pope continues to believe in a higher being known to some as "God". Large furry creatures also continue to defecate in areas densely populated with trees.

Unlikely (but not impossible) with Googles CEO Eric Schmidt a member of the Apple board.

I find PithHelmet to block ad's and flash more than reasonable
Little bit of an afterthought but I guess that CLI nuts such as myself aren't the top of the priority list.

Maybe not a bad thing but keeping things in house will speed up time to market etc. and helps to provide "innovations".
I think it can do. Not that I have tried it. During the install of Leopard it asks/searches for Time Machine backups and can "rollback" to that.
Blond, uniforms and OSX. I wouldn't let gender stop me.
Comes with a free Delorean and some top quality nuclear fuel
If they are Swedish nurses then I'm in !
csh ! What century have I entered this time.
Or is it just a kernel to which an OS has been built around ?
I was surfing for prOn in 5 minutes.
By the way I am only pointing out the lameness of that phrase.
I am guessing you mean the whole GNU/Linux distribution experience. Whilst you may be right - things are improving all the time.
Can the same thing be said of Windows ?
Because there's no power socket I can use on the plane/train etc
Likewise Palm who do an OS, but mostly sell the who lot together.
