This right here is why Open Source operating systems will never get past the propeller-head crowd. Not only is it marginalized (as a Mac user I feel your pain)-- but there's no way to standardize. There's always a hundred variations, and 99 guys saying, "it won't work on mine".
I did not say that Apple was the first. I said that Apple led the way-- They were the first to popularize these things.
Here's an example: Apple was not the first to take music sales online. However, they were the first to make it work. The scale, and the attention, that they brought to it was a first.
How about QuickTime and FireWire, heavily adopted Apple technologies?
How about leading the march on all of the important new technologies? Who was the first PC vendor to popularize USB? To ship machines with integrated wireless networking? To ditch legacy ports and the floppy? To sell a computer with a GUI and mouse? To ship computers with integrated sound? To sell a laser printer for desktop use? Need I go on?
Apple spends a disproportionally huge amount of money on R&D. In turn, they have a disproportionate impact on the PC industry.
As I saw it, Motorola was planning to heavily pre-market these phones. That is, announce them and show them off long before they were ready to be sold.
Then Apple said, "Don't do that." They didn't want hype surrounding something that wasn't even available yet. This is something Apple has been moving away from.
So, really, Moto was going to announce these too soon, and agreed not to based on Steve's feedback. That's totally different from what this post implies.
Atleast of my five favorite bands have 100% control of the digital distribution of their music. All of the artists I listen to regularly have changed labels at least once to receive better rights. (These are all bands who have been somewhat successful, but never huge.)
You have stopped discussing actual rights, and moved on to discussing how you feel someone should use their rights. Someone who signs to a label made a choice. Someone whose music is distributed without their consent (such as on allofMP3.com or Kazaa) has not.
Your dislike of other peoples' choices with respect for their rights is a different argument than why it is wrong for AllofMP3 to sell things they don't have the rights to.
My right to control the distribution of my creations always includes my right to sell that right to someone else. Even someone you don't think I should, or someone it is a bad idea for me to sell that right to.
Looked at the right way, this makes a strange kind of sense.
For instance... People with Philosophy degrees are often hired as "Ethicists" for corporations. Their job is to interpret ethics for the company. In some cases, this means keeping the company on the right side of the line. However, for some companies, it simply means finding ways to justify what the company wants to do to begin with. Guidance, or spin.
So, take a look at the Department of Homeland Security. Do you think this is the kind of honest-natured ministry that wants to make sure it does the right thing regarding our privacy? Or the kind of Orwellian agency that wants to have a way to say it respects privacy, and does whatever it wants?
Guidance, or spin?
This guy is there to help teach the feds how to lie to us about how much our privacy is respected in this country. All of the sudden, it makes sense.
Yes. It would be too similar to the low-end photo. Bigger capacity but fewer features. No clear delineation as to which is "best". Now if you want more than the 20, you get the 30. Simple.
I think you are confused. Businesses are allowed to make a profit. Taking in more than you spend isn't a crime, it's the *point*. You are confusing capitalism with overcharging.
"this daemon character seems cute from somebody's point of view, but somebody may think which does not suit for the professional products to indicate that are using the FreeBSD inside."
I hate having to explain something like this... But I was actually quoting "Penny Arcade", the source that many people first heard about this game through.
I'd hazard that the word you are looking for is "Wary". You know, it means kinda like cautious? While I am sure Canadians are also somewhat tired of the act, the wording doesn't match the context.
The strength of a brand is based on a lot more than just "how many people recognize it?" It is also a matter of how much money the brand is seen to be worth-- how much product can the brand alone sell, how much value does the brand add on top of the product, what level of respect the brand has, etc.
Slashdot Mirror
Tell us which University you go to. Someone there made a bonehead maneuver, from a legal and technical standpoint. Shame them publicly on Slashdot.

Implementing something well does require R&D. You seem to be expecting Apple to conduct pure science. That isn't where R&D money goes.
Here's an example: Apple was not the first to take music sales online. However, they were the first to make it work. The scale, and the attention, that they brought to it was a first.

Unless you mean the right to control the distribution of our creative output, so we can make a living without making something physical.

Seriously, though.... Just because no light gets out doesn't mean no light is produced.

I think it's safe to say that Intel still has the lead in that particular vertical market.
I prefer to think of it as the bacon.
I believe you mean, "If it weren't for those meddling kids and their website!"
Totally off-topic here, but... It was Socrates who was poisoned with hemlock, not his student Plato.

6. ??? 7. Profit!
Wuh?

The "minimal changes" referred to could simply be the result of the same fonts not being present. This is not the fault of the "Pages" application.
The PowerBook G5 has been slated for "Next Tuesday" since almost a year ago.
