The added bonus is that in the case of software patents (and this analogy) it doesn't even matter if you some up with a better, more readable, more concise way to state this, you're still infringing. Innovation indeed.
If you plan on testing something more than once you're probably wasting your time if you're not automating it. It's wasteful, unreliable, and makes it very expensive in time and money to release new versions, or even patches for old ones.
If they go for iPads they go for a closed source system from a single provider. I don't think that sort of thing should be legal for a publicly funded organization when a multi-supplier, open source alternative exists.
Halliburton prefers dealing with companies that have an acceptable level of evil. Google pretty much told them they weren't interested in their business with that silly motto of theirs.
True, but their chosen focus wouldn't seem quite so silly is Unity didn't suck quite so badly. I gave it a shot... I really did. It's a huge step backwards in usability.
It's similar to what they did with FaceTime, isn't it? For that one I'm under the impression they extended XMPP. At least they didn't claim they were going to make it an open standard this time and then advertise heavily that it's only between Apple devices.
Why do you consider that a good thing? Are you a big Internet Explorer fan? I'd much rather have functionality independently selectable so that I can choose which I want, and upgrade it (or not) as I choose.
I'd also like to add that my phone is no more an appliance than my home computer. Some phones are appliances because their functionality has been reduced to that. I'm still hoping for an updated version of the N900 (or something similar) to hit the market.
What they could do is provide the same sort of "reviewed application" market that Apple does, but as an option (as I believe Apple should). I see that as the best of both worlds. If you want to lower the odds of malware, use that market. If you don't mind a little risk use something else, like the current Android market.
The number of posts mentioning revolution (on the sites I visit at least) has sky-rocketed in the last year or so. Between OWS, the banks, etc, trashing your economy, your government obviously bought by big businesses of one sort or another, and your jobs auctioned off overseas, I think it may be inevitable. If the government is paying attention, I'd expect a big push for some "anti-gun" legislation in the next couple of years.
For any publicly funded institution, it should not be legal to lock into a proprietary format and platform where an open one exists. Unfortunately, Apple targets schools with lots of freebies and advertising, so I think the future is looking a little bleak.
With the attention SOPA got, it may also be that the tide is turning on copyright infringement and the purchasing of government organizations for enforcement.

What an excellent display of tolerance and peaceful behavior.

The problem is that everything does not work perfectly.

I was poking around and found some tips for removing it from OS X machines, so I'm guessing it can affect those.
No, they've made it quite clear with their motto: "It *just* works".

So the antitrust claims failed ... how about charging them with extortion?

You can install apps on your phone from the browser on you Linux box using the Android Market web site.

Thanks, I thought they were source level compatible.
The really nifty part is that the Z80 processor is a superset up the 8080, meaning that most of your Assember code would still run on a Pentium.
I'm pretty sure the ZX-81 only came with 1K (I think the TS-1000 same with 2K). There were expansion boards out to take it up to a whopping 64K.
How about this one.
If people keep throwing money at them, Apple will decide what is "right". They're doing it for their users already.

It is a modified version of ePub ... for now. If it was to remain ePub, they would advertise it as ePub.

Certainly not. They only bribe governments.
