The iPhone 3G has a "real" GPS receiver in it. It also has A-GPS, which will attempt to use other things (cell towers, wifi data) to triangulate your position in the absence of satellite visibility.
I'm the only user logged in, and I have a keyboard onto an OS X box. I cannot access the box itself.
I plug in my EVUL USB KEY OF DEWM (into the USB port on the keyboard), go Apple->Restart, it does so, I hold down OPTION, I get to choose to boot off the EUKoD.
Case in point: SAP. Deployed in many, many corporations across the world. Uses the IE HTML ActiveX control.
And, in the version that's widely deployed, doesn't work with IE7. (I believe the latest version does work with IE7)
So there's no IE7 rollout in many corporations, simply because SAP doesn't work with it. If J. Random User wants to install IE7, that's fine: if their PC isn't locked down, they can. They won't be able to submit a business expense report with SAP, though.
Wrong. You may not run OS X on a non-Apple-labelled computer, and you may not run multiple instances of the desktop edition of OS X at all - the licence remains unchanged. Look at section 2A, "Single Use"
What you are thinking of is the change in licencing for OS X Server. From the Mac OS X Server 10.5 licence:
"You may also Install and use other copies of Mac OS X Server Software on the same Apple-labeled computer, provided that you acquire an individual and valid license from Apple for each of these other copies of Mac OS X Server software"
You will never be legally able to run OS X on anything other than an Apple computer, and I'll bet beer on that. Apple is a hardware company.
Most people don't reinstall Windows in the literal sense; they simply follow the procedure for re-imaging their machine back to the factory state with the not-real-install CDs they got with the box.
It's not risky at all. The corporate world is so locked into Office that if MS decided that the Office UI were to be implemented in the the moon language of pink unicorns and the colour octarine, they'd still all buy it like clockwork - despite the protestations (correct or otherwise) of the Slashdoterati.
Office 12 is going to continue the proud Office tradition of raking in the cash and keeping MS in the pink.
The highlighted area doesn't include the corner, but you can throw the mouse into the very top left, click, and get the Apple menu. Same with the Spotlight menu and the top right corner.

No, you're quite correct. GNOME 1.x was a pile of bugtastic arse. It kindasorta worked, but I'm certainly not dewy-eyed about it.
Not really.

Apple makes all its money off hardware sales. The entire software infrastructure from OS X on upwards is designed to sell you a Mac.
Scenario:
I'm the only user logged in, and I have a keyboard onto an OS X box. I cannot access the box itself.
I plug in my EVUL USB KEY OF DEWM (into the USB port on the keyboard), go Apple->Restart, it does so, I hold down OPTION, I get to choose to boot off the EUKoD.
Developers do drive end-user environments.

I have to buy petrol, because I have a car.
I don't have to buy an iPhone (I actually have a Nokia phone).
Phones and petrol are not equivalent.
Abercrombie & Fitch? Where do they fit into it?
No.
It is only overpriced if it doesn't sell.
By definition, the iPhone is not overpriced, because people are willing to pay the asking price.
Incorrect.
Current Firefox (2.0.0.3) for Windows: 5.5MB download.
Current Opera (9.2) for Windows: 6.3MB download.
Couldn't give a hoot about the features. All the good in Opera is hidden behind a terrible user interface. I gots shit to *do*, ya know?
The 3-series outsold the Ford Mondeo range last year. (And the year before that, if memory serves).
The 1-series is an offering set against the Focus, too. Although it might not be available in the USA.

Nothing wrong with that. He offered a price he was willing to pay, Microsoft didn't like it.
That's business.
Do the fonts look any better than they used to?
That's the real draw and pleasure of OS X for me - proper-looking, beautiful fonts.
Only sort of.
The front end web servers are IIS. The business logic is all Java, Solaris and Oracle.

What is this? Here's a phone article, so I'm going to whine about how you can't get a basic phone any more?
Go get yourself a Nokia 1100 (http://www.nokiausa.com/phones/1100/).
You can then stop polluting stories about phones with this phone of straw.
No, it doesn't.
Mac and Linux versions are "Coming soon".
Anyway, by the look of that UI, they're about to be sued into oblivion anyway.
Would you like to elaborate on what IE does that Firefox doesn't, "out of the box"?
My post is referring to the link given in the grandparent comment, not the story.
Apologies for the confusion.
I was referring to the link in the post I was replying to, not the link in the story.
That link doesn't even mention OS X, and is dated 2000.
Fixed in Tiger, then.
