They are true images, but not necessarilly what you would see if you went there and looked out the window. They usually are false-color to allow the non-visible spectrum to be seen. What you see may actually have been captured in the ultra-violet, X-ray, or some other non visible band.
There is a lot of custom software that will only run on Windows. My father is considering buying Virtual PC for the sole reason of accessing the hospital database remotely. It requires IE 6 running on windows.
iPods don't skip from the small shocks of running. At least neither mine, nor my fathers. We both have original iPods and run several times a week.
The only complaint I have for running is that I have to set the hold. I have the original one with the mechanical wheel and it tends to turn and change the volume as I run.
Size does matter. A lot of people on this forum are only concerned with utility. There is a large number of people, myself included, to whom form factor is of consequence. Like the grandparent, I run. I have an original 5GB iPod, and I would appreciate the much smaller size.
You're right, there is a lot of independent music out there. But that does me little good for music I want to listen to that is produced my a major label, and there's a fair bit of it. Peter Gabriel and his old band Genesis are perfectly good examples, I can't get that music from an independent label even if I wanted to.
The whole canals thing actually originated from a mistranslation. They were originally described as canali by I believe an Italian astronomer. The word means channels not canals but was mistranslated by several people.
They're not supposed to get enough from Social Security. Why do people seem to think Social Security is a retirement plan. It's not. It's supposed to be a small augmentation of your own retirement plan. You still have to save and invest.
Obviously you've never taken a math class where you had to write a proof for something that is painfully obvious, but can't find the logical steps to prove it. You absolutely know without a doubt that it is true and have seen it work time and time again. You intuitively know it to be correct, but cannot logically prove it.
I can only hope that Lucas will at some point realize that special effects cannot save a bad story. Especially when everything is in gharish cartooney colors.
Regarding your first point. Open source software may very well still have the same problem. Just because a piece of software is open source, it does not necessarily mean that there a hundreds or thousands of people that understand the inner workings, and more importantly are willing to help. There may be, but there is no guarantee of it. And even if they are, you may not necessarily be able to find them.
As to the second I was speaking from personal experience to some degree. We have some custom in house software here and it is very easy to get the guys who wrote it to answer questions. That may not be true everywhere.
The people who wrote it will have the best understanding of how the system works. If they happen to be sitting next to you, it is easy to get support. That of caourse assumes that they aren't jerks.
I think about this differently. In my Dock I have a list of available applications that I use often. I click on the one that I need now. It is completely irrelevant whether or not it is currently running. It's the one I need.
I could potentially see your point if you are the type of person who puts everything they ever use into the Dock, such that it holds a monstrous number of icons.
I find that I alternately love and hate this feature. When I want something from the sidebar list I like it and the rest of the time it annoys the hell out of me.
And why doesn't the browser view go all the way back to the root directory any more? Now it just returns to where you opened it.

Since when is 4 x 15 = 15 ?

Revenue and profits are not the same. There are plenty of industries with higher revenues than that that lose money overall.
$17 billion in revenues is nice unless you have $18 billion in costs.
Do you honestly believe no one in the world is going to make an armband that fits this player?

I know I've solved Calculus projects in my sleep before. The tricky part is trying to remember it when you wake up.

Both valid points.

You completely missed the sarcasm. That was his point.
But how can it be cheaper? They added a whole other dimension! That's got to cost something. :-)
While there can certainly be a quality film that does not make a lot of money, if these types of films prove to be unprofitably, noone will make them.
In addition to being an art form, films are an investment for their backers. If they don't pay off, noone invests.
