I assume a lot of those are Macs? Because I read on/. that Macs are as insecure as Windows machines and that Apple even takes longer to fix bugs...
Yeah, go and mod me flamebait or troll... but I really would like an answer from all those MS apologists.
Who cares? The whole thing sounds like funny journalism to me anyway. Mr. Markoff doesn't tell us about his source. One could think somebody pulled an anti Apple story out of his ass...
Followed your link, and this paragraph made me laugh:
"We Don't Really Need It
Finally, while we sympathize with the tough road that the IE team has to travel to achieve a high degree of standards compliance, we haven't really experienced the same problem. The IE team has mentioned severe negative feedback on the IE7 release, due to sites expecting standards behavior from most browsers, but IE6 bugs from IE.
But WebKit already has a high degree of standards compliance. And we are not in the enviable but tough position of being the most widely used browser. The fixes we do for standards compliance rarely cause widespread destruction, and when they do, it's often a sign that the standards themselves may need revision. We do not get complaints from web content authors about their sites breaking, on the contrary we get a lot of praise for each version of the engine handling web sites better."
Your comment's funny. And the Forbes article too. Just checked the stock-ticker at google: Last twelve months the Nasdaq went down 6.50%, MSFT went up 5.76% and Apple? Uh, yeah such a bad performer: Up 70.53%.
"never believe anything on-line"? As opposed to believing anything that is printed on dead trees? Just apply the same rule to the internet as to books or newspapers: Use your own brain.
"Apple offered free licenses of Mac OS X for MIT's proposed $100 laptop initiative, however, the proposal offered by Apple's CEO Steve Jobs was declined because the program was looking for open-source software [...]"
I call BS. 1.: Record producers did try to fit the sound for low-fi at least as far back as the seventies. This was done to make sure the songs were still recognizable on your transistor radio at the beach or on the tape deck in your car. 2.: *My* MP3s sound just fine, thank you.
Slashdot Mirror
I'd like to apply the third option to the idle.slashdot.org-Layout, please.
What could possibly go wrong?

My guess it's Sarbanes-Oxley again.
How is Apple controlling h.264?
Should the bombing of DC8s also call for an embargo?

1.: Post business idea on /.
2.: ???
3.: Profit!
Would Mr. Haselton please elaborate on step 2?
As long as they didn't settle for a percentage of the profits ...
Come on, at least get his name right, we all know it's: Joe Sweden.
Is it "This is the year of Linux on the desktop"-time of year already? How time flies ...
Uhm, right ...

Well, nicely put :-P

Uhuh, yeah, right ...
Am I the only one who has trouble with the sound? I checked three versions of the video and all had the same disturbed, distorted sound ...
"Now" as in "May"?
"After a short window following their standard DVD and Blu-ray releases, all new titles will continue to be released in HD DVD until the end of May 2008."
Yeah, what about Prior Art? You think Lebedev was first? Check the Wikipedia entry http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optimus_Maximus_keyboard which has links to http://www.unitedkeys.com/ and http://lcd-keys.com/english/history.htm
This is hush-money to make sure Novell doesn't drag MS to court to find out what went on behind the curtains of the SCO show.
True, and it makes sense. I just wanted to point out that the MP3 format or its use can't be blamed for how albums are mixed ...
I call BS.

There, that's better
Just because I'm paranoid doesn't mean they aren't after me.
