The judge in the anti-trust case limited the "relevant market" to x86 machines. Meaning that Apple's existence or demise wouldn't have affected the ruling (and didn't affect the the appeal much either).
Jobs has said that accepting Microsoft's investment was largely a way to attract attention -- ANY attention -- at a time when Apple was largely being ignored. I'm sure Gates' reasonings had to do with ego... "bailing out" his rival.
sometimes the most functional things are the most beautiful. Lamborghini, Ferrari, Aston-Martin, Rolls-Royce, Bentley, XB-70 Valkyrie, SR-71 Blackbird, Concorde.
The filibuster-busting would only affect judicial nominations, not the kind of Senate processes that would be required to develop space-based weaponry. Legislative filibustering is not being tampered with.
Sounds about right... they've been running around in circles not getting anywhere for years now.

Of course they would support Apache Geronimo. It's in IBM's best financial interest to protect WebSphere, and protecting WebSphere means not allowing JBoss to become the de facto open-source AppServer standard. At the same time time, they want to appear friendly to open-source to attract developers.
So, they support Apache Geronimo to compete with JBoss.
I never said anything about the right to speak one's mind. If someone has something reasonable to say, say it. I was responding to drive-by off-topic one liners. Nobody with a rational mind really believes George W. Bush is the anti-Christ.
Dislike him, fine. Disagree with him, fine. But be rational in your arguments, and for god's sake, try to make them somewhat on-topic.
It's exactly statements like the original posters' and your completely asinine statements about me feeling at home in communistic societies that make real dialog on important issues so difficult.
I voted FOR Bush. Kerry's a decent person, very smart, and would not have been a bad president, but I voted FOR Bush because I like his policies and ideas.
The 'number of the beast' is 616, not 666 after all.
So, thank you for your mindless idiotic jab at the President, but some of us here actually voted for him. Keep your completely off-topic and pointlessly partisan one-liners to yourself.
I'm glad I finally saw someone else worry about that... when I first heard the idea of automator scripts that can be saved and sent to other computers, that was my first concern...
Just started installing tho, so I guess I'll find out soon...
Much like those who paid $499 to join Apple's developer program and beta test all the OS X Tiger builds.
And I say that as someone who would have if I could have justified it.
Why?
Seriously. After following Kirk, Picard, Sisko, Janeway, and Archer on ships (or stations), why is it that the best idea Star Trek producers and fans could come up with is, "Hay, how about we follow Captain Riker on the U.S.S. Titan!".... ????
It also seems when that war is successful (ie: USA), it's a revolutionary war (or war of independence as you said), but if the exact same war is NOT successful (ie: Confederates), it's a civil war.
Well, now... and here I think that ALL income should be exempt from taxes and based entirely on spending. I frankly to not care if the rich (of which I'm not) get richer. That's their reward for getting rich in the first place.
All citizens of America -- which I'm assuming you are -- receive the same benefit of living in America. Assuming you should take more of the rich's money just because it's there is borderline unethical.
Obviously anything after "/action/" is being redirected to the same image, with the last part of the URL probably being used as a dynamic key for tracking hits.
My problem in that income tax tends to punish success. Sales tax, on the other hand, does NOT. And yes, I don't like the idea of taxing someone for daily essentials, which is why some form of sales-tax refund for "essential spending" would be appropriate. But over all, sales-tax seems to me to be the most fair. Everyone is taxed the same amount on on each dollar they spend. The rich will tend to spend more, thus be taxed more. But there's nothing fair about taking MORE of each dollar earned from a wealthier person just because in your estimation they can afford it.
And yes, I'm aware that wealthier people will tend to invest their money or save it, and thus that money will not be taxed by a sales tax, but that's a GOOD thing. Saving and investing are beneficial behaviors that should be promoted.
But if -- God forbid -- you actually MAKE any money in Oregon, they take some 10% or so away. And they do have a Gasoline tax. And some cities have an additional local tax.
Nothing like laying the burden squarely on the productive members of society so everyone can save 30 cents on their trips to Pete's Coffee.
Some people like watching movies on their laptops, yes, but I would hardly call it a vast market. However, earlier commenters are correct: internet delivery of movies will eventually become mainstream.
So what's the catch? I don't want to sit around for a few hours while my laptop downloads a movie, only to have to burn it to a DVD to watch it on my TV (or plug my laptop in to the TV, making it useless for anything else). What *I* want is the ability to browse, order, download and view movies from my TV.
I think this is where TiVo, or perhaps and Apple/TiVo partership, would kick ass. Being able to buy and download a movie through my TiVo, and when it's ready, I can watch it all I want on the TV... or burn a DVD right there on the device. Or copy it to my laptop if I really want to watch it there.

You joke, but you'd be surprised how often I have to reboot my Symbian phone to get things working properly again.
