Microsoft can make that much money from selling their OS is because their dominance in the market. They can pressure people to increase their dominance even more.
If Apple sells an x86 version of Mac OS X and want to increase their market share in the PC OS market, they won't be able to charge as much as Windows. The competition is also hard and rough in the PC world. Windows, Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris, etc2. Another problem is that there are too many variations with PC hardwares. Apple are comfortable with the limited hardwares available for Macs. It is easier to ensure that devices work smoothly and integrated with the OS.
Linus Torvalds the creator of Linux asks the audience why they would choose Microsoft over Linux for desktop application projects. He provides a point-by-point description of benefits of Linux products (SuSe, RedHat, JDS, etc.) and points out that starting out on Linux-based platform might save development and testing time."

Research shows that 20 percent of traffic accidents are caused by drunk driving.
So... If we remove all the sober drivers from the road, then it will be 80% safer.
Well my logic was, Akamai is really tough to bring down; the bandwidth should be there, there must be packages dropping somewhere, and if that happens then TCP the better protocol.
An old 233MHz with 128MB RAM iMac running Mac OSX server would be no match with dual Opteron with 4GB RAM running Windows 2K3. Clusters of load balanced Xserve G5s beat that Opteron server easily.
And there is something that is called bandwidth... and other things, like number of clients, etc. The list goes on.
So you cant make a comparison based on the OSes alone.
Even with the help of Akamai (I presume) the keynote quicktime stream was problematic. I couldn't watch it without frames dropping and sound going away. Time outs were often... a real pain. Increasing the buffer, using TCP instead of UDP did not help either.
If I remember correctly it wasn't like this last year... I guess Apple created a lot of buzz this time.
From TFA: It uses revolutionary smart antenna technology to boost wireless network speed and range far beyond that of today's standard 802.11b/g and 802.11a wireless networking technologies.
So anyone knows how these so called smart antenna work?
Alienware CPU with Intel Pentium 4 4GHz, 2 ATI X800 video cards with Alienware Video Array enabled, running Microsoft Longhorn bundled with Duke Nukem Forever & Cherry OS (Capable of emulating Power PC G5 3GHz) will be available shortly* in computer stores near you...

P.S.: There are rumours that if you buy two, you will get the Phantom console for free.
Oh come on, what is the matter with FONT tags? As long as you're not changing the actual FONT, just using them to redefine color and size I don't see a problem...
Consistency and flexibility.
Okay, imagine you have created 20 HTML pages and then you realized that the fonts are too small or too big, with font tags you'll have to search those tags and change them one by one, the same applies with changing color. With CSS, it's a matter of changing one parameter.

iTunes & Airport express are good. Another vote for that.
There are other stuffs in the market though.. Sonos for example.
That's why I don't prefer googling things with MSN Search. I prefer googling with Google.

Oh my god I'm daydreaming! Quick, someone.. pinch me!
I don't buy it...
It sounds as fishy as the noeffectwhatsoever(tm) SmogBuster.
Btw. I'm going to start selling stickers that you you can put on your forehead. It will change your image for sure. Anyone wants to buy?
Speaking of RAM, does anyone know whether I can upgrade the memory using standar PC DDR memory?
ThankS for giving me an idea...
I'm going to patent "Displaying a greeting using a computer program".
I'll be filthy rich... HAHAHA...
You can try Mambo or Typo3. They are both great.
But before making a decision, you can check OpenSourceCMS for demo of diferent CMS'. Another great comparison site is CMSMatrix

Yes people... Beowulf!
Now we can build a budget Virginia Tech thingy of our own.
For the best experience, I recommend viewing it with the Jaws theme song.
Why all the hassle... you can just boot to runlevel 1 and it will go straight to prompt. Then use passwd to change the root password.
GanttProject seems nice. I haven't tested it thoroughly, but it seems promising. It was mentioned on a NewsForge article.

And talking about antennas, does anyone have more information on NASA's deer antler antenna?
So will this means that if I install this kernel on my computer I will have baby Pentiums or baby Athlons soon?

I believe Bill owns OSDN & Slashdot... this is all big conspiracy...
P.S.: Don't tell anyone about this!
Nvidia will design a special graphics chip for the Phantom console, and it will be named Nvidia VX 666 Phantom edition (V as in Vaporware).
Western goverments and corporations force websites to close all the time... Is China not allowed to do the same?
Some spywares are also signed with Verisign... Gator, Bonzibuddy, etc.
What's the point?
