I bet people reading your post will get the idea or suggest the idea so...
I seriously wonder something. Lets say you are one of those "my everything is online" guys or a VPN using clever corporate worker. So, while travelling to USA, you backup your local data, fire up a privacy tool (or built in disk util in OS X) and 35 pass erase your internal drive. Setup your Windows or OS X, install all updates and turn it off.
Will this be a major trouble for you in future? A good computer forensics expert can easily figure what you did and even some clueless cop/agent can figure that machine isn't used at all. So, you are looking very, very suspicious to them now. A person who knows the computer will end up in hands so erased everything in unrecoverable way. It is like looking to other side when you see cops at night.
I don't think China fingerprinted USA citizens while getting inside border just because "they are American" right? Imagine the media if they dared to do such thing.
The industry figured MPAA or RIAA won't achieve anything and they made a wise decision (finally!) to push a format which can't be beaten without 50 GB download and disk space but forgot what would happen if they let irritating idiots like Microsoft or Intel which has zero clue about actual media consumer intervene with it.
So that is why you see obvious difference in quality but others say it is junk and not worth the hassle. They forgot the human factor.
You can also think about iPhone. It is significantly lower spec than a similarly priced smart phone and yet people love to use it and will even pay ridiculous price for it. You shouldn't even bother to show Nokia N96 is a way better spec phone, iPhone is more convenient for him/her. DVD is a significantly convenient format to do anything with it and they should thank to decss, people doesn't think "DRM" when they buy a DVD.
Right now, every movie studio and computer electronics manufacturer out there are ignoring a top class market which can happily pay exact same CD price for legal download, buy movie online to view in handheld, pay $600 for a better experience smart phone. You have guessed right, there is no Bluray Player.app for OS X. It would take 4-6 days at most for an experienced Cocoa developer _if_ he had the codecs rights and specs to ship one. At least a "Blu Ray Movie Player" application. They are sitting there and waiting for the company who sells HDTV online content and extremely busy with OS X and iPhone to code it!
There are no "OMG binary! no source!" or "evil DRM" majority on OS X community either. XCode required to code it is there, in their OS X Leopard DVD or as a free download from Apple;) If we speak about high end, HD movies, they should fire the first idiot who said "But 90% of planet runs Windows". That is 90% of _entire_ PC market. Your market is not that, you shouldn't bother with what the accountant Joe runs in his junk corporate Terminal. Your market is the people who already pays for better experience.
Of course speaking for Linux, by not shipping a binary Bluray playing Application, they are seriously looking for trouble. Remember how did DeCSS ship at first place for which reason? There weren't any DVD playing application on Linux!
Not just that, Apple also hurts developers/users of other (real) smartphones and J2ME phones while basing their reasons for draconian policy.
They are the ones who said "Nobody asked for Java support" (yea, right, everyone knows what j2me is) , "multi tasking wastes battery", their fans claimed "Flash will waste battery and does nothing" (They agreed?) , "an application going nuts can down entire USA East Coast". I bet there are some users who asked developers of either free/open or commercial apps about whether these claims are true or not. I am sure about it.
Man, I don't think there has been a single company/organisation who has attacked to open source/closed source/commercial/utilities/java/flash market that way. They can't be naive. They are a kind of company who brought mixture of Unix/Mach/Next/BSD to end users and managed to make it usable so it is actually chosen over Windows.
For example, I run "Fring" (.com) on my Symbian S60 phone, I had to double check the "waste" of battery by running it 1 day and not running it second day. Obviously, it has used battery , about 10-20% extra. That is nothing on a high end Nokia (or other) smartphone.
If they had good intentions, they could use Nokia/Symbian "Symbian Signed" model. For Nokia and other smart phone guys in Symbian, it took billions of dollars, frustrated users/developers, viruses and bluetooth worms to come up with a thing which won't be like... Current iPhone app store!
Symbian Signed could be explained this way. For root access, you need Symbian cert. For trivial or non privacy potentially dangerous stuff, you either get commercially licensed (if charge for it) or freely "open signed", nerds and adventurous users can sign their stuff to SINGLE IMEI (device) so they can test or run it. It is designed to be a time taking and irritating process so no clueless end user will go there and root enable some "dancing woman" screensaver (!). It bugs developers and users but because of sad reality of lamers (e.g. Cabir idiot) out there, it is "best of worst". Still, a basic application doesn't even need to be signed (some disinformation there).
J2ME already has their sandbox and devices already do application and privacy firewall like things like "Do you allow this application to do this?"
Nokia/Symbian's worst mistake was letting a single company take charge of the free market (lets not name) and while everything can be freely downloaded from any other site, let users think that is the only place to get apps. Currently they charge 50% from Developer for each sale so there comes $20 flash light applications! Apple did a worse thing, not just they didn't learn from that mistake by another organisation, they started the "evil store" themselves!
You know what? I shouldn't explain it. They show signs of a similar concept for a future (not Snow leopard) OS X inside OS X Leopard. I didn't hack into their top secret machines, it is just very obvious even today. The community/developer feedback will show them the path and I am afraid they are giving very wrong signals to Apple.
It could pass million easily if Amazon wasn't stupid to make it USA/Canada(?) only.
We, foreigners are the ones who sees absurd things like $20 book having $40 DHL posting price. Not Americans. I think they even send it free or something there.
Move to digital, spend millions to research and make it USA only. Who to blame this time? Is there a MPAA/RIAA in book scene? Will they still whine about pirated e-books?
A naive Kaspersky engineer who didn't really know how sold out the IT media is made a huge mistake mentioning such a possibility years ago.
Also if I remember correct, it was pre 9/11. I remember even the fact that company being run by Russians (so it should have no clue?!) racist-like stuff brought up.
Look to storm worm and imagine what would have happened if it wasn't owned/run by spammer gangs. Or just imagine if someone else than white-hat Kaminsky figured the DNS thing.
I would be extremely glad if I could find the original news mentioning the conference but as you know, searching "kaspersky internet crash" like stuff doesn't really make sense;)
It is a stupid thing especially considering OS X updates. Should I social engineer people to get a clue if my Nvidia driver managing to make WindowManager use 40% CPU on any Aqua Progress Bar is updated?
"This issue is fixed in next release", "We will include updated drivers in next release" and even "You are full of crap, there is no such thing" would work.
So Apple could add that sh thing to recent security updates postflight script, it would take like 100 bytes?
That is the issue. It was exact same command to secure Input Managers in users home directory input managers on Tiger. I did it (as I have legit stuff), everything worked flawlessly. Why didn't they do it? They later admitted issue and made Input Managers function in/Library/Input Managers owned by root on Leopard.
A script like TIGER on Linux could really make OS X almost rock secure but developers afraid of "you broke my machine, you killed my cat" people doesn't ship it.
With a community like this (yes, I use mac) it will work.
Of course the über trolls and PR on "other side" makes it worse and gives community the much needed false trust. You figure out a very evil security breach on OS X, it has been verified by Apple too but... You give the job to PR team and they come up with "Mp3 virus!!!" stupidness.
How would people trust your alerts (most of are real) later? Or DOS'ing people's default browser via jp2 exploit just to show off? Anyway, I just say we need a really working, mac focused heuristic security solution without stupid PR before OS X/Mac marketshare hits 20%.
It could also be people are stupid to remember they signed up for it at first place.
That is the problem of the "This is spam" function on general end user mail service. They shouldn't be opportunistic and silently ignore "This is spam" false alerts from some idiots who doesn't know what the consequences would be.
If they (MoveOn) have "double opt-in" documented at http://nct.digitalriver.com/ecm/doihowto/ , Yahoo has no excuse. It is not like User won't claim it is spam, they will do it. You will have first hand verification of that guy clicked that link. If a political/evil plot is going on, you will also have a good proof too.
I wonder if it runs the PowerPC processor as it ships as 400Mhz.
There is a "all-in-one" chip/CPU which is used for 2 watt (yes,you read right) ultra mini PC/device which does whole storage on Amazon Cloud.
The "CPU" has 3D/2D capability, sound capability and actual CPU part on single chip.Freescales MPC5121e mobileGT processor,(400 MHz) which claims to do 800MIPS.
The company producing it and their idea of PR almost wasted it. (Spam web 2.0 to get free etc.), its name is "CherryPal Cloud".
People dropping support to PPC, especially Linux distros because Apple moved to Intel should wake up. If we speak about low power CPUs, FreeScale backed by IBM is a very serious factor.
That is a complete wrong place to post bug reports. I tell a way more interesting thing, if people knew bugreporter.apple.com and how easy to report bugs with it and the almost instant feedback (from real human) they get... OS X 10.5.4 would be at levels of 10.5.8 stability/performance now.
For the "hidden"... That is why I have always chosen Usenet over company controlled web board thing. It is not so different experience from posting an issue to famous "open source" apps boards btw.
Now it is open, some very advanced developer may pick it and make that cheap hardware integrated graphics become the fastest performing integrated graphics in that class. They are very much tied to software/driver you know.
You know, such things happened, some people fixed Creative's advanced sound drivers to work fine in Vista I heard. I got an impression that even big name guys like NVidia and ATI aren't performing the way they should because of drivers. Especially on OS X/Leopard I notice it. 70% of bad feedback about Leopard came because of Nvidia/ATI drivers.
I had serious problems on my Quad G5 when I upgraded to Leopard 10.5.0 from Tiger OS X (10.4). I kept reporting bugs to bugreporter.apple.com , stay away from any third party enhancement until something stable ships (from Apple!) and tried my best to report third party quirks.
It has nothing to do with Vista of course except one thing.
Apple actually admits the issues (which effects me) and asks for more information, samples of processes, attached USB drives list.
Now after such love-hate relationship, 10.5.4 (think like SP4) became way better on Tiger in some aspects. You also feel like someone out there cares for your issues. Whether they fix or not, that is another issue. MS have driven people to such paranoia (with Genunine advantage) that people tweaks their paid operating system NOT to send kernel crash reports.
MS won't admit any issues and does such crazy things like claiming people having problems are actually "psychologically" having them and set a site for it even. The root of problem is that.
Random, cheap hardware is their problem too. E.g. Apple did a very interesting (not sure if intentional) thing to get rid of broken RAMs. Either 10.3.x or 10.4.x (I guess 10.3) does a RAM test, a hardcore one silently and basically falls to black screen if RAM broken. Would MS dare to do such a thing? Please note that it is an experience and various random Apple service center/sales guys quote. There is no such "We are testing your RAM and will fail if it is broken" status message in installler:)
I just suggest that if you use Windows (any kind), give up MS manufactured drivers and get a WHQL certified chipset driver from Via instead.
For some reason (!) the Wintel manufacturer keeps shipping buggy drivers on Windows.
I tested this on a laptop and even a high end AMD based video workstation. Something really good happens right after installing them (hyperion or something) and rebooting. Instantly.
Of course, Linux like open source OS'es doesn't have such evil tricks etc.
Disappointed for what? Do you expect a "10 PRINT HELLO WORLD" like thing in age of 2008?
Chipsets are way too complex stuff, they will indeed have 800 page documentation. People developing that kind of deep stuff actually uses all those 800 pages of documents.
They need serious competition from ATI and Linux fans choosing ATI because of document availability.
Same goes for Via too.
The pressure can only be done via free market and people's reason for choosing a product. Lets say, a huge customer like a country Army chooses ATI for their computers over NVidia just because ATI is documented. I tell you to count days (not weeks!) before Nvidia does similar move. Just watch the governments after the documentation of VIA, the salesman will have a real hard to beat argument: "It is open!"
Does the security agencies, armies still buy Nvidia while choosing Linux/BSD because the source is open? It really makes no sense to have binary thing running in supposed to be open and secure OS.
It seems absolutely absurd that a regular PC without OS released as "Apple Mac compatible" or something and become news.
It seems someone is trying so hard to get sued by Apple or take Apple to court. For what reason someone is trying to get sued by Apple who is known for their evil lawyers? That is the question.
PS: They will run Vista SP1 better. No sarcasm or troll intended, that is my opinion.
If other arm of company conspires people's GPL Licensed software downloads via P2P , bittorrent, it could easily sound like "Comcast spies your blogs!" to some people. It should be consistent you know...

There is already a running "OS inside browser" thanks to gigantic processing/bandwidth provided by Amazon services.
http://g.ho.st/ (warning flash haters: It is written in Flash)
For such usage, you automatically choose the minimum overhead, most secure and least maintanance needed OS. None of such features resemble Windows.
Let me tell what will happen if MS didn't take their lesson. They will require .NET (something) and it will somehow best work (if not only) on IE.
Another waste of millions or (if you count .NET) billions of dollars trying to re-invent wheel in an evil way.
