...I work with high-end digital and scanned images as a commercial retoucher...
Sounds to me like he is qualified to speak about a digital image processing application. He doesn't have to have the "eye" to tell if an image is technically of high quality.
Oh...And as an art director you have to be able to recognize quality photographs (not speaking of the technical quality here) or you suck.
Take a look at this picture of a Xerox Star desktop and tell me again that Apple invented overlapping windows and the desktop metaphor.
Actually it is a screenshot of ViewPoint, Star's successor, released in 1985. The Star designers thought that non-overlapping windows would be more userfriendly and that the workstation's 17-inch screen was large enough so there wasn't much of a need for overlapping windows. They changed their mind when they released ViewPoint.
Anyway, I don't disagree with your post. Just nit-picking;)
Of Course it would cut into their hardware sales, but how well have those been doing lately anyway? (exluding the iPod of course)
"Apple shipped 1,182,000 Macintosh® units and 6,155,000 iPods during the quarter, representing 35 percent growth in Macs and 616 percent growth in iPods over the year-ago quarter."
Oh boy do I wish they'd support Vorbis! And I think it's even probable, since Microsoft is well known for adopting superior technologies. I mean, small files, good sound quality, customer's happy burning his expensive music to cd's...
Yeah, but the format would be MS-Vorbis then. Remember MPEG-4?

So what? He isn't recognised as artist for his playing.
Dear Mr. Coward, we are glad and relieved to hear that you support our move concerning the DNG format. Yours sincerely, The Adobe Management.

Nausicaä is my favourite too and I am no Miyazaki fanboy ;)
My second one is Akira, but in both cases the manga are even better!
Yes, because it doesn't play Ogg Vorbis.
