Maybe if it was part of a bundle involving the creation of a sex tape with a squadron of Page 3 girls and the OLED screen was provided for viewing the raw footage during production.
Even that sucks though, limiting the file to just an Apple format and charging far more for the file than it is reasonably worth it.
I don't see how it can be 'an Apple format'. The file on a DVD can't be the same as the files you get from the iTunes store, because the iTunes store files presumably have some kind of information about which account bought them. If you move them to another computer, you'll be asked to enter the purchaser's iTunes Store login before they will play.
If the movie is on the DVD, it'd have to be either no DRM, or some kind of generic DRM like CSS. No DRM might be what Jobs is after - it would probably be feasible for compressed, low-res, iPod-size videos. The real piracy bait these days would be high-quality rips of HD DVDs.
"the editorial staff of any large collaboration will suffer the same trevails and useless insider versus outsider drama and cliques and power plays"
While true, traditional encyclopedias have rather better control over who contributes, and rather more rigorous methods of disposing of actual troublemakers. And people 'banned', ie, fired, may have legal recourse if they were fired for the kind of petty reasons that get people banned from Wikipedia.
It establishes a commission, which will study some things, and suggest some things, any or all of which are required to be Constitutionally valid. It also calls for the establishment of a vaguely defined academic center to study the problem.
It doesn't prohibit anything. It doesn't call for the prohibition of anything. In theory the commission could come back with suggestions to prohibit things, but a) they might not - they could come up with monitoring strategies, figure out why the terrorist propaganda works on some people, and provide counter-propaganda strategies, and b) suggestions of prohibition would still have to become law.
Commissions are generally a way to look like you're doing something, when in fact nothing is being done.
Well... it could fall under the category of tough love. After all, if the company is cutting corners in that respect, they may well be cutting corners elsewhere in ways that could be really harmful - employee safety, for instance (more significant in a manufacturing context than in an office context).
Hopefully the ratbastard lawyers would only be called in after a heartfelt attempt at an intervention with the management.
Yeah, radiation's just great, if you don't mind having kids with harmful mutations. And nothing kewl like teleportation or turning their body into osmium steel.
Dear god, Prince, have mercy. Don't send Appolonia Kotero and Sheila E, and certainly not while wearing lingerie.
And if you have a soul, for the love of all that's holy don't send Sheena Easton, especially not speaking in character as Annah from Planescape:Torment. Rawr. Er, I mean Oh No!
Also, I don't like how they're redoing the outer planes, and the inclusion of miniatures rules is a big pain, especially when they're selling miniatures like Magic Cards, as artificially scarce collectibles.
What?! "Programs that are compatible with GPLed code" are "derived works" according to the FSF? Prove it.
Just wait. As soon as the Stallmanites decide mere compatibility is actually an willful attempt to circumvent the GPL, it'll get added to the ever-growing scope of GPL.

The insane US design for a nuclear-powered jet bomber used liquid sodium coolant.
Now where does the 'grey' come from?
Clearly it must be related to the crash landing of the Golgafrincham B Ark.
Sorry, had to be done.

is awfully self-aggrandizing on their part?
The iPhone Dev Team is at Apple. These people are, at best, the iPhone Hack Team.
Well, Apple did add the new voice that sounds more realistic.
Then again, EMI is the one who cut the deal with Apple to sell non-DRM tracks online.
It's not definitive proof, but it shows that they've been taking a different approach than other labels.
As long as they don't start putting "Designed by Apple in Steve Jobs' heart chakra"...

So unclench.
would help prevent this kind of thing.
What exactly is the thing that needs to be prevented?
Did you read the bill?

I believe this is a pretty low-level, so should work even if the OS on disk is hosed.

The Reality Distortion Field is too weak in the UK because Jobs is too far away.
Heck, Apple puts 'Designed by Apple in California' on their cables.
It was the emo haircuts.
If they know where the admins live, they can plant kiddie porn or other contraband.
GPL v4 will include a clause requiring users to wear velvet Mao suits with rhinestones and red metallic fringes.
