OSX does not use an X Windows system, not matter how streamlined or GL-optimised. The entire window system is different all the way down. Sure there is an optional install X11 that runs on top of Quartz but all native OSX apps are non-X.
Both systems had 3.0Ghz CPUs and similar amounts of RAM. But did they offer the same performance? If both servers were being pushed 100% would one be able to server more users than the other? If the servers were never pushed to 100% then the test is not really a like-with-like comparison. I imagine that one CPU performs better than the other (and I'd expect right now that's the Intel one). Perhaps a 2.66Ghz vs 3.0Ghz test is closer to the same performance?
I think you are confusing OSX with Mac OSX. Mac OSX is the OS that Apple sell and put on their computers. At no point in the Keynote or after has anyone said that the iPhone runs Mac OSX. They have simply said that it runs OSX. To my mind this means that it is running a subset of Mac OSX. At the very least the iPhone OSX appears to be missing Carbon (no loss to me), the Finder and other "built in" apps and quite possibly Quicktime. Whilst Steve said it had Cocoa that normally just refferrs to the main Kits: Foundation and the App Kit. This does not include PDFKit, QTKit and so on.
Whether is's based off Darwin or not is hard to say. At a certain level that does not matter. What would matter if Apple decide to open up to third part developers is the APIs that are available. There may be a small subset that want POSIX on their phone but for actual application development Cocoa with some custom PhoneKit is probably all that is important.
You cannot download a modifed kernel yet. They do not have to make any changes to the kernel available until they ship. So assuming they ship in November and actually ship with Linux (a lot could change between now and then) I'd say you could expect to download the kernel in November, perhaps December allowing for normal corporate lazyness.
It's worse than that. From the tech spec pages (small print at the bottom)
Memory available to Mac OS X may vary depending on graphics needs. Minimum graphics memory usage is 80MB, resulting in 432MB of system memory available.
Apple have catagorically stated that Intel based Macs will not use Open Firmware. They may use a standard BIOS. They may use Intels next gen boot system.
Converting MP3 to WMA does not mean that these phones are capable of playing MP3s. This is just like Sony's portable audio devices only playing ATRAC (yes I know they've fixed this now).
I was going to moderate on this discussion, but like, whatever! If you set Preview (or your favourite image viewer if it's not Preview) to be your external editor in preferences you can right click and choose "Edit in external editor". If you want you can use the preferences to set double click to open in external editor instead of the built in retouching screen and that pretty much you set.
The also require either Mac OSX (so you'd have USB) or Windows 2000 or XP. Whilst Windows 2000 might well run on a PC old enough not to have USB it won't run all that well.
Metroworks have not supplied processors for anything (at least in the context of this story). The supplied a suite of development tools (you know a compiler and stuff).

Yes, for PPC machines. That will not run on an Intel Mac. Check the hardware requirements on the page you linked to "PowerPC G5, G4 or G3 processor"

Erm, did you read the announcement? Parallels Tools for Linux are in 3.0...

Apple do. It was one of the new features in Tiger.

Being fair it's not a wind-up phone, but a wind-up charger for common phones.
So where's my laptop with 15 hour battery life that recharges in an hour?

Could have been an Intel iMac which were shipping on the 10th and have seen limited stock in Apple stores instead of a MacBook?

No Open Firmware

GNU ls?
I'm sure someone will be along soon with a buglist for it....
WTF? Developers already have 10.4.3 for Intel!
A few at the moment. Some of Apple's more recent releases (PhotoBook and the latest Java 1.5 control panel) release have been Universal Binarys.

Which was discontinued when they introduced the Nano. The above list is correct until the Apple event later today...
Have you tried installing the latest flash? It's a bit better macosxhints hint
The Mini had an aluminium casing. All other iPods have some form of plastic.
I read that it doesn't :(
The Nano is not listed as supported on the store page for the camera connector.
Troll! My UK PSP will happily play MPEG-4 video from it's memory stick (2.0 firmware). Not sure if it supports H.264 encoded MP4 files though.
Text edit can load and save XHTML (1.0 Strict or 1.0 Transitional) with Embedded CSS, Inline CSS or no CSS.
This is just an additional format.

To be fair Charles Clarke (UK Home Secretary) said the exact opposite after the London attacks: BBC Story.
Whilst the man may be attempting to force ID cards into law he was at least honest this time.
