I agree, an associate of mine at the keynote said not a peep about Apple. Hmmm I wonder if it was becuase Steve wouldn't allow it because it might give a hint to when certain machines would be released....I don't know, we will see what the Mac OS X on Intel does....Could be a good thing.
First Apple looses iPod's patent to Microsoft. Stupidest corporate move in recent memory. Then they go Intel and complain when someone figures out how to use it on Intel hardware. People this is the freaking corporate control everything mentality that Apple has. They are like the religous right, our way or no way. Only they try to look cool and act hip all the while ramming it up your a**. They should just release OS X for all vendors and give MS some desktop competition because Linux will run the backend.
The biggest cost is not the hardware but buying all new PowerPC versions of software....With OSX on Intel you could run all the Windows/Linux software right on the box that you invested in. The total cost goes down....
I'd love to run Mac OS X on any machine!
Remember the Supreme Court ruled that property can be given to another, even rich private businesses as long as it is for the public (and their profit) good. So there really is no 'public' property where the use is for all. It is all private or leased. As far as the network, it doesn't matter where it is physically, it is who's money was used to build the lines. Roads are build by taxes and government paid labor and therefore public. The telcos paid the cost of building the lines with their people. Also it would be government that says other poles (pipes) can be laid not the telco's, so the government is creating the unfair situation not the company.
I posted a long time ago that they would add hardware DRM and put the software keys at the core of the OS. Intel provides this with a chip that makes a software crack almost impossible. This will lock content to the machine(s), probably the iMovie store and other products coming will use this. Apple uses a lot of open standards stuff but they are moving farther and farther away from open source! Anyone who thinks differently is kidding themselves. Apple is the most closed company in computing. Especially to their developers in terms of notice of changes or new features.

This is very easy to do. Cracking 802.11 broadcasting networks is really easy. There are websites that explain step by step how to do it. There is a coffee shop in Seattle on 15th Ave where I live that is always hoping. Mostly laptops, it looks like a friggin office. BUT friends found a flaw in the security and sniff out everything. We actually had a party in which they read emails (very private) they had transfered right off people's hard drives. Some even scoured webmail accounts after getting usernames. Some people have the most obvious password! More security is needed!!
I agree, in fact I think a video iPod will be in a LARGER form factor than the music player. So not only will there be a larger 16x9 screen, the player itself will be larger. Jobs will make it large enough that you will want to watch stuff on it. Perhaps a 8" screen would lead to a thin player that actually has a large battery. The iPod form factor would die out in an hour playing HD MPEG4 content perhaps streaming over WiFi. So larger form factor for a nice sized screen and a large battery! Pehaps twice the size of a Palm.
I don't really disagree is some ways but delivering content is NOT information. Europe, America, and China work because there is information. Countries without collapse and are poor. Content is the product of someone(s) and their hard work. They have the ownership right to it. The other thing is employment. A society must create jobs and compete, if something is too low cost all the inputs (labor, land etc) have to be found even cheaper. It is the race to the bottom. By the way my small consulting company runs Linux server so I don't have to pay license fees. This is the most capitalistic thing to do. It saves me money there for I could expand the business and buy a second home. Find the lowest cost solution to the problem IS capitalism (why do you think mega corps like low cost labor). I agree free is good for services like delivery vs. creator....Kind of like not tipping a waiter, why do it, they don't make the food just deliver it???? Linux to me means more profit and less control by others in services.
I was involved on the fringe with an investment group here in Seattle that had US$2.5million to invest in a tech startup/small company. They scoured North America and the world for the "best" opportunity. They ended up investing in a mobile data company in Zanzibar just of the Tanzanian coast of Africa. (Yes and the principles live in Seattle) They will broadcast data for vacationing Europeans and Indians mainly. Why not in the U.S.??? The American legal system makes doing business here much more expensive and in the end for a small group like us prohibitive. Of the US$2.5m almost 60% would be upfront legal costs in many instances in terms of patent checks, labor regs, insurance, and various regs that require a lot of expensive lawyers to sort out....In the end this costs the US jobs and increases the wealth of those in America who have the means to make a huge return overseas....The patent system must be fixed.
Yes, the market is information, without a browser you can't access it whether it is free or not. Actually free, like Linux for servers allows capital to move somewhere else. My business saves huge on licensing proprietary stuff so that money has gone to expansion and my second home. Shares, well in terms of stock in Mozilla, no, but you can securitize anything. So some ingenious financier will figure out how to sell a tracking issue based on the change in the user base. This would be part of a package of "tech issues" that only track the change in the market. I know a guy in Spain that is working on this. It is a way to literally, buy and sell numbers, which is really all this "market share" information is when the products are free. But you CAN create value from it is some way.
Well if innovation in open source means that my consulting company which switched from Windows to Linux (servers) and the Mac desktop and Powerbooks doesn't have to pay the huge license fees to Microsoft we were on all upgrades, then I say it is the most innovative.
Capitalism is about finding the best and lowest cost solution to the problem in a market. Open Source is that solution. That is why governments like it. They can tax less and use the money somewhere else. That is why big corporations like it. We all know they like cheap information technology and workers. That is why small business like me like it because it helped me pay for expansion and my second home by saving licensing costs. I even use college kids to administer the server. Talk about low cost.
Legal action is a tool that one uses to either cause someone a huge headache or directly tie one up with legal bills. My best friend became a lawyer and he is very open about the tactics used in the legal system to basically f*ck with someone. There may be an valid issue or not. The system will make it very hard for either side to win but winning is not the goal most times he says. You win by causing the persons resources to be drained and time to be wasted and that is the goal. Every lawyer knows this. That is how they make money. I say make sure you get rich because if you are playing in the big leagues sooner or later you will be sued.
Can anyone tell me what they will use other than Windows Media that is open with no licensing fees. Apple and Real are both propreitary. MPEG 4 is licensed through MPEG LA group and is the most expensive...What are they going to use...
Also they better pull down all Adobe files because Acrobat is not open sourced.
Yes they are building on my lot because the patent is granting me a property right under the U.S. Constitution. Most people who have a property right own a home. Individuals, like me, or companies that own a patent have a further form of property even if it is intanglible. So yes, perhaps not tearing down my home, but building a better one in my back yard and selling it infringes my property rights.
Yes I saw that. I was very surprised that the "liberal" judges on the Supreme Court would side with the wealthy developers who want to tear down mostly working class people homes. I can tell you that it won't ever be used to tear down a gated community. The conservatives are right in their outrage in this.
Clearly a rip off!! I own two patents and if someone infringes on my property (which is what a patent is) then they have to pay me (which can be done here by too) or I will sue to keep hold of my rights. Even if the "other" product is better.
By the way this would be like someone saying they can build a better house on my lot and then tearing down my home and building a better but similar home and selling it. If you accept this then I guess patent infringment is ok.
I do business in Europe and the conditions or horrible. Stable in what way. France and Germany have 10+% unemployment (there would be a revolution in the US if this was the case here) all benefits are being cut in Germany to both the unemployed and old folk. A banker told me Benz will produce more cars in the US and South America than Germany in three years and that production may be totally gone there in 10 years.
What the hell do you mean stable. Italy's government was brought down because their economy is falling fast.
Finally European woman aren't having kids. How do you have workers to pay taxes to support the elderly if not only you have less jobs but even if you did had no young people to fill them. At least immigration solves that in the US
Get your facts straight.
A US military directive recently recomended all computer based intelligence personel run UNIX via the MAC OS for security reasons. I have a friend who is a low level Army guy and they all use Apple Mac PowerBooks in the tanks.
This will only make Apple and others make even MORE restrictive DRM systems in the future. It will also prompt law makers to make TOUGHER laws. This mofo is an idiot if he thinks this helps the community at large because he is sowing the seeds a less free information regime.
Apple is not the government or a public entity, therefore no one has the right to know about their trade secrets. They have a the right to keep competitors from using and perhaps causing damage to Apple's product line. There is no legitimate reason a person has the right to know PRIVATE information whether is it Apple's or my medical records. It is not in the interest of the public. It is theft plain and simple. And Think Secret "fenced" the information.
