Other than OS X Server, by their definition, it IS a premium PC. That's part of the point of the complaint about the definitions behind this so-called report. It's not listed as a rackmount or tower server, just Apple's high end PC option. And by the same definitions, selling one of those devices is apparently the same market share as selling 20+ Dell Precisions. Excuse me while I laugh...
The study is a joke. Cherry picked statistics and blurring of the lines. Even The Apple Blog, who you'd expect to be cheering it on, disagrees.
Truth be told, if NPD really stated this as market share, I'd say they were wrong. It's hard to believe 9.1 out of 10 PCs over $1K are Apple's. Come on, people, there are many non-Mac users who spend money, too. Whether for quality, style, or higher-end components, not everyone who gets a PC is a Laptop Hunter. I've never bought a Windows machine for under $1K in my life, and I've had many.
According to NPD, in June, nine out of 10 dollars spent on computers costing $1,000 or more went to Apple.
So you can buy 50 Dell workstations for $1100, and along comes someone buying 12 high end Mac Pros for, say $5,000 (not a price comparison, don't go biting, fanboys) and voila, according to this study they have "more share" than Dell, as a result?!?
Sure, the BlackBerry is supposed to be secured. The iPhone was also supposed to be.
The BlackBerry has passed FIPS certifications. For all the touting of "security" and "encryption", I have never heard anyone other than Apple claim that it is secure, certainly not certified.
(That certain agencies would then choose to implement usage of the iPhone without verification thereof is another issue altogether. There is way too much belief and sentiment that it is the JesusPhone, and a lot of fingers that get put in ears when features, already existing functionality, bugs are discussed in a critical manner.)
Apparently the intent was not to protect the data on the phone from a real attacker, I don't think anyone at Apple that worked on this would expect that to be the case with the encryption key on the device.
Ahhh, but that certainly hasn't stopped Apple touting it as a feature of the phone and a selling point into the enterprise, and fanboy gloating...
I wouldn't put it past Apple to make the installation of a firmware upgrade a part of the sync process. And if Palm tried to spoof that, I think they'd end up in more legal trouble than they bargained for.
Pre: Okay to receive firmware update. Initiate.
iTunes:Sending
Pre: *captures firmware version number, spools update to/dev/nul
iTunes: Excellent, what version are you now?
Pre: Uhh, Version x.y.z
This is also completely an aside from the fact that the DMCA specifically permits such behavior for the purposes of interoperability, and a textbook definition of that word would be "to allow a Pre user to use their iTunes music library natively on a Pre.
It's not risking anything. If they're intelligent enough to write cell phone software, music software, what makes you think they're somehow not intelligent enough to ignore firmware updates, and even just report success when requested. Faking a USB VID does not somehow force the Pre to accept anything and everything the host throws at it. This is just FUD.
I know for a fact a few houses have been able to get micro-second trades
And they're doing this how, exactly? By subverting the laws of physics? I would love to see the interconnect between the exchange and the trading house that has sub millisecond latency. How many devices is that packet passing through, let alone any processing latency.
Blacks are the angriest people you'll ever meet. Just don't look up when you talk to them or they'll beat the shit out of you...unless you're a fat white woman.
Lisa Lampanelli, is that you?

I LOL'ed. Really? What press release did you copypasta that from?
Nice citation. I'm amused that you think it "proves" that there are multiple disparate technologies involved, by quoting a link that lists both: Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 MOSS Standard and Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 MOSS Enterprise as saying "look, not integrated".
And there's an editor application, and a search engine.
Hint: One can have an integrated set of tools, without requiring only one.exe file.
You say that, and although in many cases it is true, is not the case here. Nagra 3 has been around a few years and no-one has broken it yet. Witness the fact that someone was offering a quarter million dollars to someone to work on it, and one of the first steps was buying a $10,000 scanning microscope to examine the chip.
In those cases, it sure would be nice to know where your stuff is located so you can load up a few friends, grab a couple of shotguns, and go get your stuff back.
Thus escalating what is, as you described, a 'civil contract dispute' into armed robbery, threatening with menaces? Nice. Not that I'm condoning the moving company in that situation, far from it, but when -they- call the cops, regardless of who was in the right, if you and your pals are there with weapons, it's not the moving company employees that are going for a ride downtown in the back of the cop car.
Even if you got your stuff back, what makes you think when you got home (you know, after unloading their truck onto what, exactly?) that the cops wouldn't be waiting there? Remember, the movers know where you live. Or maybe they might take offense (again, I have zero sympathy for them in this situation) and come pay you a visit themselves, and see how you like a shotgun in your face...
While newer model low-flow toilets have improved, many people still prefer the older 3.5+ gallon models... so much so, there's a second-hand market for them. A common scenerio is the owner of a custom built home / addition will have the contractor put in cheap low-flow toilets temporarily and then after final inspection, have them swapped out with illegal high-flow models.
Ye gods. Even at my "worst", I have never put into the toilet in one go more than can be flushed down with 1.6 gallons.
If your body waste requires 3.5 gallons to get rid of, you should "talk with your doctor".
Yeah. Because none of those have ever been a problem with other news sources, be they free or community, or blogger, or otherwise? I mean, just look at WP...
Come on, the guy's sig is a link to some comic rant about "its versus it's" which, whilst it annoys me no end, is most definitely a good indicator that he is, no doubt, an insufferable pedant.

Indeed. An unlimited license, a license the doesn't limit their ability to re-sell rights. Unlimited is a big word in a contract.

I think not.

This is why it's an option.
That when you choose to encrypt the device, you are asked whether to specifically leave the address book decrypted.
Of course, if network policy is specified, you may not even have that option.
Ahhh, but that certainly hasn't stopped Apple touting it as a feature of the phone and a selling point into the enterprise, and fanboy gloating...

Beyond that, I'd call BS.
Maybe if they'd promised their wife and two mistresses a boat each, and one for themselves, thus expecting four boats?

Which reality is it that you live in where Microsoft's Office suite is not extremely popular and does not sell tons of copies?

Granted, that's not a great thing. But would you rather the pilot did NOT realize there was insufficient fuel?
Probably? She could afford a couple of hundred. Forbes listed her as a billionaire last year.
