You can boot OTHER macs over a network via NetBoot with a disk image, but this requires OS X Server. Not really in the hands on the average Mac user...
1) Apple is almost certainly going to ship a CD edition of Tiger. The DVD edition was only for the Developer's Preview. 2. All Macs after iMac Slot-Loader can boot from FireWire Optical Drives. 3. Even better, FireWire Macs can access the optical drive of another Mac when the slave Mac is booted into FireWire Target Disk mode, removing the need for an external DVD drive!
Almost every media standard Apple had backed early has succeeded overall in the market. Ones that Apple snubbed (or where it has been snubbed e.g. MPEG4) have had real problems getting established, and have mostly failed.
Some people get addicted to things easily, whereas others don't find that.
This probably seems obvious, but the important point is, people who become addicted easily can become addicted to anything they come into contact with - drugs (legal or illegal), internet browsing, exercise/fitness, even possible reading Slashdot!
However, I think a disproportionate number of people with addictive personalities are drawn into gaming, especially MMPORGs, and for this reason you have this, actually relatively high figure for addiction.
Just in case you didn't know what the music industry was all about, read this (context is not really important to get the idea:
Another record-industry type, casually speaking to Pearlman [progenitor of this idea] after the talk, had perhaps the most succinct counter suggestion. Why not charge 10 cents, instead of 5, and double the revenue?
It's good to see an interesting, pretty original idea in the personal organiser market which hasn't originated in Japan. The rest of the world has good ideas too!
Apple includes full Developer's TOols with every version of OS X, including a customised version of GCC. So there is a compiler, and much more with OS X.
Actually I find OS X runs surprisingly well on old Macs (perfectly working on my 350MHz G3 iMac) but if you want to use Linux, that's cool too. Just don't make inaccurate statements about OS X.

for a long time now - thought it was obvious he was using a G5.
Always good to see another boost to the PPC64 platform though...
Why is Symbian so insecure - surely an embedded OS is not difficult to harden? It is not as if the phone will be running lots of insecure services by default.
Apple has always shied away from features it doesn't want enabled in their product but which are supported by the hardware. For example, all iPods since 3rd gen have been able to play WMA! But Apple never enabled it. The original iPod OS can control FireWire CD Burners - Apple never enabled that feature. It would be trivial (and cost nearly nothing) to add an FM Tuner to the entire iPod range, but Apple thinks (right IMO) that people buy Music players, not radios, and complicating a product with extra unused features is not a good thing.
In fact, looking at the original iPod to the Click Wheel iPod, apart from the Click Wheel itself, what has changed about the way you interact and use the player? Actually very little, when you think about it.
I actually think these new players look rather good but I would never buy one. Why? Because of the truly appalling software that Sony gives out to sync your computer with your player.
It conforms to NO Human Interface Guidelines at all, it has huge amounts of extremely choppy and pointless animations and is such a CPU hog that it doesn't respond even when the only application open on a 2.6GHz P4 laptop. Quite unbelievable.
Now if I could sync it with iTunes, that would be another matter.
But RAID is nota one size fits all game - the detail of the article is extremely useful for people who will be tailoring their RAID to a specific application. Yes, this article is specialised, but I hardly see how reducing it to a list of three, relatively meaningless names is helping.
quite badly! They've been synonymous with quality in the RAID industry for many years. Look at this:
3ware Escalade 8506-8 is lagging far behind the competition. Moreover, it misses important features such as online capacity expansion, online RAID level migration and RAID 50 support.

Let's hope the extra money makes the difference this year.

This is from someone typing on an Apple PowerBook btw - I do like Apple's products, but not always the company's actions.
Personally, I am amazed ThinkSecret is still publishing these rumours despite the lawsuit hanging over them. Nick Ciarelli certainly has balls ;)
Just look at the history!
Never underestimate the Slashdot Effect!

Yes, guys and gals, it's money.
Money, money, money, money.
If that's true, then the name of the reviewer is unfortunate... http://www.bonafidereviews.com/

In fact, 2.6 kernels are fully useable on PPC & PPC64 machines without any patches - so PPC kernels are 'keeping up' fine already.
Wrong

Another reason to stick with my simple phone!
Glad to see it's not just me then! We're not alone ;)

Because of this perhaps. Occasionally it helps to read an article before making comments that just make you look uninformed.
