Well, the older license still applies to what you have installed. Anyone buying OS X today will get Lion. The Lion license cleans up the silly language around labeling quite a bit and also makes provisions for virtualization.
The safety language in licenses is there specifically to stop someone from trying to run a life-support, nuclear plant safety, or avionics system using a consumer OS. It's not about what platform doctors use to search the web.
Plenty I'm sure. I always find it ironic though that a reader base that so resolutely defends the GPL will often advocate the violation other licenses.
Not only can you disable in-app purchases, but why would you give your kids an iTunes account that has a credit card linked to it. My kids accounts have no Credit card, they only get to buy stuff when they save up for a gift card, or give us the cash to gift them an app.
To them, all the "freemium" apps are great since they get to try a whole bunch of options.
I pretty sure the $1 was so that he could get benefits. And the Jet belongs to the Jobs family, Apple gave it as a gift and he leases it back to Apple.
Star Wars, on the other hand, is an action/adventure story set in a futuristic fantasy world.
Actually it takes place in the ancient past. That opening title card of "A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away" is one of the more inspired bits of filmmaking I know of. It's the beginning of a campfire story, it brings you in and starts the suspension of belief right away.
Of course Lucas pisses all over this in Empire when it's pointed out that the characters are humans. At least he waited until the second film.
Our pediatrician is very much a no-nonsense sort of guy. Whenever the medical terror of the week like MERSA or Bird Flu is on the news he is a very nice counter to all the hysteria.
That said he is a firm believer in vaccinations. As he puts it, "If you ever see even one kid with meningitis it will make you run to get your kids vaccinated.".
Is it 100%? No. Are they foolproof? No! Will it greatly reduce the odds that my kids will need to suffer with some nasty disease? Yes.
I'm a little baffled Windows doesn't do this natively. I remember using Alcohol120 and what not back in the day, but I would have assumed image mounting would be in the OS already.
I know on the Mac you can create, manipulate, and use all sorts of images without any add ons.
I think that the lack of any carrier branding or crapware on the iPhone is the biggest win Apple got from the carriers. They pretty much tell them that they will take it like they make it.
Apple never provided a front end for the MySQL that they used to ship on Mac OS X Server. All it included was a tool to start or stop the DB and to set the MySQL root password.
Mac OS X Server before it, and now OS X Lion Server aren't intended for enterprise IT, and haven't been for a while. Apple has been working the word enterprise out of the marketing pages for a while now.
Indeed, the current blurb says this on apple.com: "OS X Lion Server gives you everything you need to provide workgroup and Internet services.".
For workgroup and SMB sized applications it's pretty nice, but a bit of a quandary when you hit the big leagues.
Almost every company I deal with chooses to apply a few schema extensions to allow for native Mac management from AD. I few go with other solutions to implement DSLocal policy on the Mac such as solutions from JAMF Software, Centrify, Thursby, LikeWise, or Quest but AD extensions are the overwhelming choice people go with.
With the coming of MDM management for Lion you can also now have full management of OS X and iOS devices without the need for schema extensions or a dual directory.
The current issue with doing ASR or NetRestore with Lion is that unless you've run the installer once you won't have a Recovery HD partition. Without that you can't access features like the FDE.
No need to hack a Lion NetInstall, just download SIU for Lion and make your.nbi set. Then upload it to your existing NetBoot server. Done.

You say that as though people care!
People should.
Did you know that the iTunes license disallows installation on non-Apple branded machines?
No it doesn't. http://images.apple.com/legal/sla/docs/iTunesForWindows.pdf
Every company that has computers at work.
To individual users I doubt they care much, but there is something to be said for honoring the license that a software author has chosen to use.
If everyone just ignores the licenses then why are there things like the GPL at all?
How does that make it an "Apple-branded" Mac computer?
Also making modifications to the Boot ROM isn't allowed.

The SLA that everyone is quoting is not the current one. http://images.apple.com/legal/sla/docs/macosx107.pdf for the PDF of the 10.7 SLA.
I don't think that a lot of doctors are running life support systems on OS X or that pilots are reprograming their avionics systems to use it.
Plenty I'm sure. I always find it ironic though that a reader base that so resolutely defends the GPL will often advocate the violation other licenses.
Oh those Hotpoint owners are the WORST!
That violates the licensing of the OS though.
That's not the current EULA. You can find the up to date stuff at http://www.apple.com/legal/sla/
The current EULA allows you to install it on any Apple computer you control and up to two VMs on that same hardware.

Previous articles would suggest that Apple simply has all of the 9.7" IPS display production already, hence everyone else making other sizes.

Well, the Mac OS had good image support long before the change to Mac OS X and it's BSD roots.
The imaging frameworks in Mac OS X now are from Apple, not BSD as well.
I'm a little baffled Windows doesn't do this natively. I remember using Alcohol120 and what not back in the day, but I would have assumed image mounting would be in the OS already.

Yes, it combines everything into one long document as well if it can. I used to to scroll through TFA.

Should I make a joke about Rapture or SeaBluthton here?

The migration docs lay all this out.
You can upgrade in one shot from 10.6.8 Server. The installer will see that you are running on Server and pull down the server bits as needed.
You need to migrate from services from 10.5 Server to 10.7 Server on your own though.

I put all my thoughts on it in my review on AFP548.com: http://www.afp548.com/article.php?story=lion-server-review
The real place in enterprise for the Mac has been in on the client side for quite some time now.
Almost every company I deal with chooses to apply a few schema extensions to allow for native Mac management from AD. I few go with other solutions to implement DSLocal policy on the Mac such as solutions from JAMF Software, Centrify, Thursby, LikeWise, or Quest but AD extensions are the overwhelming choice people go with.
