I would consider Google development and infrastructure a high value target. A move like this also just generally raises the profile of both OS X and Linux.
Because of the limitations and lockdown they're also trying to move the field backwards in many ways. Personally I'm damn glad Google and Android are at least shaking things up and providing a little competition, as even though Apple does some things very well, I don't think I like where they're "moving the industry forward" to.
Sorry, I do need to add that it's not like double taxation isn't done. In Ontario, every sale of a car is taxed. The government can make a lot of money on a car that is frequently sold. Motorcycles hang around so long, and people upgrade so frequently that I would bet the sales tax eventually collected exceeds the original price of the bike.
Does this mean that I'll be able to deduct all of my capital purchases from my income tax, as I may later sell it on eBay? I bought the things with after-tax dollars in pretty much all cases, so I think I should be able to recoup any money made from selling it without paying taxes on it personally. Taxing the sale of used items is taxing twice, which doesn't seem right.
Over the past 6 months their target audience seems to have been people who want to buy an iPad. The ratio of Apple content on the site is higher than Slashdot, which has been bad enough itself lately.
This does squat when your USB comms protocol doesn't request authentication though, since you can pull the data off through the iPhone kernel's transparent decryption layer.
Doesn't FireFox release patches as soon as they are available? Why would you force someone to wait for an update? Don't force them to install it, but don't make them wait either.
They may hang around this year. There seem to be a great many irritated iPhone developers, mainly those interested in developing cross-platform. It might get entertaining.
So basically, as someone above mentioned, Apple might be able to pull this off using the iPhone as a trackpad. The users are used to a limited number of devices and vendor lock-in, so it really wouldn't change much for them. Done well, it might be pretty interesting if you're already an Apple laptop and phone user.
If I ran the country (and I really think I should), carriers would not be allowed to bundle the phones. They can sell them with a monthly payment, but it must be separate from the cost of the plan, and in no way affect it. Bundling phones and locking people into long term plans discourages competition in a huge way. I'd like to see the carriers fighting for my business on a monthly basis, not every 2 or 3 years.
P2P, decentralized, or managed by FaceBook, as soon as anyone, including your "friends" has a copy of your data, you've lost control of it, and there is really no way to regain it.
I've been putting the menu panel at the left side for years (in Gnome and in Windows) both to get the extra vertical space, and just because it makes sense to me. The problem is, Gnome seems to keep making it harder and harder to have it work properly there. The new indicator widgets are wide and don't seem to re-orient vertically, and Gnome Shell (Gnome 3.0) seems to not be able to move the panel to the side at all. I actually just bought a new netbook with better vertical resolution because I was sick of fighting (well, for development IDE's as well). The Unity work being done is the best interface news I've heard in ages.

This will make Mac a much bigger target for hackers. Hopefully Apple will be a little more prompt with security updates than they have in the past.
Google do not like talking to people.
Well, they do have a reputation as a company run by engineers.

It just works ... even when it shouldn't.

If you got the kind that runs on water running through a turbine, you probably spent way too much as well.
You could remember a hash of the url ... just a thought.
It's very dangerous to say "guaranteed" when it comes to security. It's very rarely true.

The best thing to speed along a solution to this problem would be a massive increase in the price of oil.
I would be more worried about the fact that my car was build by Chevrolet.

You can get the web apps in minimalistic windows using Mozilla Prism ... it works quite nicely (although there seem to be a few bugs still).

Why bother buying these one-purpose devices that usually cost almost as much
Better sound quality?
How is a pricepoint different than a price.
It's harder to sound like a douchebag if you only say price.
traded the future for short term gains.
Isn't that the way that most publicly traded companies are run these days as well?
... but it can cost you a lot of bandwidth, especially for high def shows and movies. Many of us have bandwidth caps.
For video, almost definitely.
