It was sponsored by Microsoft at start because of that reason. Remember everyone was joking about their database stuff those times.
You tell me you didn't know amateur level satellite photography for whole World exists? Also if you are a rich geek, you can buy amazing detail (commercial level) images.
I really can't understand when people act like "Wow Google invented some huge thing". Yahoo maps were always there too.
What Apple did is, to take that feauture and really extend it, making a OS framework level RSS renderer (or whatever) that any coder, newbie, dashboard guy can use.
Also Omniweb is a professionally coded, shareware browser, Safari is "free". Omni group is a legendary NeXT company and they don't tell anything against it. Lots of other developers use their documented frameworks which are free (for non pro use I guess)
I wrote all above since its hugely different from Konfabulator thing, against misunderstanding. I still think Apple owes a "thank you" to those guys, as an Apple owner.
What Microsoft does is, literally STEALING or, more politely "COPYING". I know Apple kinda jokes about Longhorn and believe Apple and MS does not "hate" each other but at least on RSS part, Microsoft stole it without shame.
Also don't forget Apple does whatever they can to help opensource.
At appears on OS X Tiger. Yes, the OS they kind of support, e.g. there is a official media player.
As I have Omniweb (guys THEY are the ones invented RSS in browser), I kinda smiled and changed identity for MSNBC to Netscape 4.8 (windows), guess what? No!
It wants IE 6 on Windows and actually ONLY compatible with it.
So, RSS board or anything, time for an urgent meeting and declaration. Ask for declaration from them. That company can do ANYTHING, don't trust to RSS'es openness.
They would ship it with total standard compliant RSS, keep a hole open on purpose and allow it to be haxored by virus/spyware than they would have a excellent excuse of raping the RFC.
BTW , semi OT about windows media player. Just imagine the company you "hate" , aka Real networks really went out of business. Just think about it.
Zombies became excuse easily. If you go mad enough and send these spams to embassy of them in your country and they really care, you get reply as "Oh, sorry, those damn windows viruses" from ISP.
Yep, I made it.
What kind of a virus is that I really don't know since I report same IP for 2 weeks now:)
Some clever guys playing "open proxy" trick out there and guess what? They leech slashdot even, I post with open mail on purpose. I tried this spamcop mail with only slashdot for 2 weeks, given nowhere else. I got 3 spams manually sent to spamcop, 2 spams with robots. I even remember mailing to CmdrTaco about it as if slashdot got some "anti harvesting" code, its basically not working.
I bought it in my windows days when Sun Java for Win32 started to rock, now on OS X, I still use it and thanks to java maybe, its one of the rare programs did not need a update etc to run on tiger.
It passed very evil tests here, like editing a very bad formatted pro movie script. When I saw the 450 kb.doc file, I knew what was coming but thank god it worked.
Another problem with them would be? er, whitelist thinkfree if you buy/trial it. They are now Korean company;) You know what I mean. Besides jokes, they now have a huge Korean company at their back, Haansoft. I wish they try "webtop" type office again some day.
First days of Thinkfree, you could run it from IE, using JVM 1.1. No wonder we must be impressed.
Opera browser is an amazing piece of coding art (it runs on 2mb Nokia 7650!) and company is still small.
I hope it never changes and I hope it never goes 'opensource'
I don't care about anything which doesn't have small screen rendering. If you want "desktop like" experience, there is excellent Webviewer from reqwireless, which is not free too.
It would take years to have Opera functionality in a webbrowser on a smallscreen.
On "mini laptops" named as phones, you have a huge screen. If you can manage to compile it, you can even have mozilla running.
Opera technology is unique and being called "dead" everytime when such news happens, they are actually working on a TV browser, which is fit to set top boxes (OpenTV etc) right now.
Nothing bad will happen to Opera. They have a huge paying customer base like you which ignored "free" solutions. (let me don't get into there is nothing free stuff)
BTW, much larger, important news, months ago is: Nokia is now a full member of Helix project, from Real networks. Prepare to see some amazing breakthroughs on video/audio/3g on any Symbian installed phone. https://www.helixcommunity.org/
I just need a phone with memory card to test those new evil realplayers for symbian, 7650 got 2mb, its compressed and full:) I am not binning a working device of course.
If you got a phone which can run Opera, test those helix players too.
Slashdot Mirror
Fair use my ass, I wonder how much $$$ he got to guarantee Sony SACD is the future format for high definition audio.
Also I bet SACD license prices will go higher now, say bye to DVD Audio capability without extra price unless you buy Philips or Sony decks.
DVD Audio is 96 khz 24 bit multi channel. No, Dolby digital or DTS (home versions) doesn't have such specs yet.
Don't comment about stuff you don't plan to purchase.
I bet "Flogging Molly" doesn't love their 24 bit (least!) recordings downgrade to 16bit to fit in plastic 1980's format.
Our new DeCSS hero just guaranteed CD Audio is here to stay.
Yes, thanks to whoever managed to crack it. You are a hero!
I will have to buy more 16bit PCM plastics as there is no option to buy anything legit online in my country. (Turkey)
Also you just killed the future of DVD Audio.
Don't forget to get your check from Sony. SACD team must be partying now.
Thanks for breaking my rights to purchase 24 bit in 2005.
I am calling my brother right now to remove ms anti spyware I installed.
Will also either buy or donate known, real anti spyware as spybot and ad aware.
I mainly use OS X for 3 years so, sorry if I miss if something else exists.
Dear Genius AC
While I don't love that one sided, fanatical so called "zine" , the submitter sent it NOT to slashdot mozillazine for sure.
Well, there is one thing you can do for sure.
Many of Slashdot readers are decision makers for their company and some run huge companies themselves.
Boycott Tribal group when you purchase a solution in their genre.
"firing" is a right given by current economical system and boycott is the right answer and perfectly legit,serious.
They should be wondering about privacy policy while using that program as its openly backed up by CIA.

Here is story from 2004:
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2004/10/28/google_bu
Oh but for some reason, its google doing it, so must be good. they run linux etc etc
Just imagine if MSN did it.
Uh, ignore (I wonder why?) Google is Einstein type stories, point your browser at:
http://www.terraserver.com/ , type "Oslo" to search field.
I think they should put better choices since they exist since 1997!
Man, I can understand Joe Sixpack types but I can't understand Slashdot getting impressed by such stories.
Marketing agreement or something? No, really...
Oh also I don't like to give an address to Google and its lovable 2038 cookie.
Guys, there is http://www.terraserver.com/ , exists for YEARS and in fact it started when terrabyte levels of database was big deal. I am speaking about 1997! ( http://tinyurl.com/9ty3a )

"xxx requires your administrator password to install"
;)
"ok" "cancel" at bottom there is a tiny triangle can be opened and shows full path to whatever needs it.
As they steal everything, why not steal that scheme of OS X so at least we mac users have a "more free" port 135?
Can you tell those guys to post it in at least official Microsoft windows player for OS X compatible format?
Not trolling here, video does not show in MS Windows Media player for OS X (latest)
That is the exact reason why people are paranoid about MS, their own player does not work on OS X as it should.
Its not a post against Apple or Safari. Just look at that movie:

I use spamcop yearly mail service which is, you know overkill.
I have all those filters on of course.
I just wanted to inform non geeks out there that ISP's abuse these 'hopeless, genius mad scientist coded zombies" stories.
I don't have mod points but I became kinda bored of those fake logins posted under every NYT story on Slashdot.
If you have something against NYT registration, don't read their site. Simple as that.
This thing will finally lead them to CC verification based free system or a total paid system, believe me.

Lets paste a usual report of mine:

That "luckluck" moron page? Its still up. I wonder how much dollars guy pays to ISP to keep page up. Zombie my ass.
I can understand (try to) China spam being "not seen" by their government, sort of political crap. Mainframe level country filter can't stop spam? heh
What about Taiwan?
I bought it in my windows days when Sun Java for Win32 started to rock, now on OS X, I still use it and thanks to java maybe, its one of the rare programs did not need a update etc to run on tiger.

If they added credit card checking for age, imagine morons will post "they stole my credit card!" everywhere and crook lawyers suing Yahoo.
Also, this child crap is abused by the "camp" who never liked the internet at all, that's what disturbing is.
Philips and Sony are long time buddies.
DVD, their work. CD is their work too.
I called it the most expensive pentium 4 ever shipped, they banned me from chatroom. :)
If you check mac newsgroups, there are people who purchased quicktime pro 6.5 2 days before Quicktime 7 shipped.
Apple doesn't give a free license to them or give their money back so your joke would be real!
Don't go panic tomorrow if you read a "new" tsunami warning here.
I must add something that Lasers do NOT need repair if handled properly, with proper paper and all the guidelines manufacturer tells.
Its my second post on this topic, my first one explains why I went colour laser and let me tell what made me sure about laser reliability:
Usenet.
I saw lots of people _still_ using Apple Laserjets which they bought years ago. They post occasionally about a driver problem etc.
