Seriously. Screen size? Input? Output? Assorted other sundry capabilities?
After a short stint with holograms, voice recognition and features like that... these would become networked mind controlled implants. No IO required outside your brain.
The fact that sendmail is also frustrating, is default install on Linux and BSD, and is the most popular for mail shows that this theory is pretty much true.
Does anyone know if M$ has gotten or is getting a patent for the way.NET works. If Mono is to close to something like that they could try and squash the whole project.
The steps apple introduced are some pretty good ideas. I wouldn't be suprised to see them start showing up in Linux and *BSD. Maybe even Windows in the next couple releases.
Is it just me or are the first six items all caching schemes?
The first 5 things are not just caching.
The first 2 are caching but they are caching of different things. And, how can on-the-fly defrag be a caching. As in windows where you go run defrag every now and then, in OS X it is done on the fly as you are operating. This keeps the file structure at it's peak from a clustering standpoint.
upgrading from 2K to XP on the same hardware will slow you down. Upgreading from OS X 10.2 to 10.3 on the same hardware will give you speed improvements a majority of the time.
I can see how they can write an artice about how apple did this but to claim that Microsoft does it too. I don't see how. Unless Microsoft has improvements but enough of the new things they add slow it down so much more the gain is outweighted by the loss.
This wouldn't have happened had they been using Linux.
This might have happened even if they were running linux. If the software that is used for the air traffic controlling was written badly it still could have crashed.
This seems like a similar problem to IBM years ago. IBM was no longer looking to the needs of the customer, missing the good business opportunities and loosing business right and left. They took a better part of the 90s' to turn it around with new management. They had to change the attitude and mindset there. Maybe M$ should take some pointers.
M$ has something *BSD doesn't have. 56 billion in the bank. *BSD is amazing at what it does which helps it stay around. M$ Windows isn't. They rely on the cash cow machine they have running. They aren't going to learn.
This shows a lack of proper testing, quality assurance and security. THey either brought it to the market to fast or don't have the right people checking these things out.
1) 90% of the people that buy these are your basic at home user. They don't ever change the default settings. It's just a setup and go. There are 5 such ones in my apartment alone in range of my apartment
2) 99% of people aren't going to update the firmware when it comes out so this bug will be floating around for some time.
The average joe 6 pack needs to be forced to use the security with it. If you give it as an option then it many times will be ignored. Security needs to be made part of the setup and updates need to be easy to install.
The robots would have to be decently smart to take care of things. Then, if this works we have them do all our space works. The moon (needs to be even smarter) and mars (they just have to be straight up AI). Is this the beginning? And if so, where the hell is john conner at to stop this?
Why create a product to solve a problem that doesn't exist. There isn't one. This is probubally why a corperate entity hasn't done this yet. It would fail to sell so why make it. At the same time in the OSS we need to look at the why we make things. Why waste our time generating something there is no call for.
Before we generate things we need to look at the possible users of a product and their needs. This doesn't seem to have been done.

Once people can get broadband porn on their cellphones, then maybe!
No work will ever get done. Everyone will spend all day surfing for porn at work. How can they block it?
Just one more piece of undeniable proof that the internet is built on porn
Imagine the /. effect from that many devices
This looks like a bandwagon. The promotion must have gone well with iTunes Store so they are jumping on the next company.
Only problem is i doubt the Sony setup will be to the same quality as the iTMS setup.
Does this mean /.ers will be the first to go? We probubally spend more time at a computer than just about anyone else.

I also know I am amungst the lazy ranks.
I know Samba can be a member to an Active Directory but can it have and/or manage one? If not, does momo have the tools to add this?

The question is how many of them are honorary? I mean, I would give the simpsons writers honorary degrees for all the times i laughed my ass off.

Problem with this is that it's things the user needs to do. The article is about what apple did that is independant of the user.

Maybe a new linux distro needs to be made to do air traffic controlling. Something that could integrate into the current system.

It's in the dictionary.

OS X has been a breath of badly needed fresh air after Windows.
A windows man to the core prefers Mac OS X. What a selling point to all those who are die hard windowers.
does anyone know if these are the access points they use at all those starbucks?

Does anyone else notice maybe a start to "skynet"

I am an engineer so I do problem solving.

If your looking for something basic. Get a mac powerbook and Protools or Garage Band
