Yes, but colorizing is the way that some modern 'artist' can stick his/her thumb into the works and claim s/he had a role in it's creation. Also, it allows the work to be re-copyrighted (we're glaring at you, Ted Turner) in it's new form.
If they don't make available the unaltered version as well, it's an outrage. But the same sort of busy managers are probably at work who trashed the original archive. They've got an important new role here. (they should be busy sanitizing telephones, but let's not cross over to a different series)
Cygwin is a collection of Win32 DLLs. Services for Unix is a complete POSIX subsystem (that plugs in and replaces the crippleware one Microsoft implemented) that communicates directly with the NT Kernel. Pick which one you wish to use wisely.
It's actually a myth that you'd be 'doing the trees a favor.'
Pulpwood is grown specifically for paper making, on land that otherwise probably wouldn't have trees planted on it. The trees on pulp woodlots are well tended and maintained. So using lots of paper might have other negative impacts, but you do the trees a favor when you use it. Their very existence depends on there being a use for the wood.
NetBSD users can update the whole kernel source tree with CVS and rebuild from the master source repository with a few commands.
Then, of course, update entire userland source tree and rebuild it, too. Again, with several commands. Integrated whole systems are so much nicer than dogs-breakfast 'distro' collections.
I learned in about 1998 that Slackware was a crude approximation of BSD. A nicely crafted crude approximation, but why mess around at all with Linux?
All the little sister chips could do most of the work. Which is what killed the Amiga. It was a cluster of ASIC chips, and that doesn't scale well to incremental performance upgrades the way a new, faster x86 chip every six months does. Who's going to design a whole new set of ASICs every six months? Nobody in their right mind.
The best choice is just to never, ever, sign up for a Facebook account.
Or if you insist on poking around in it a little, sign up for a totally fake account for a few hours. It's only interesting for that amount of time anyway.
Not all of us obsess over appearances. twm is installed as part of the X11 distribution, and anything more is optional and a resource sink. I usually install FVWM and use that because it's got a slightly nicer config file to work with. But what you call 'fugly' I call small and function. Probably what you call 'nice looking' I call an obscene resource waste.
I bought an $80 turntable with built-in preamp. They're shit. Unless you can turn the volume ALL the way up and not hear white noise hiss, and feel a great fear as you hear the slightest rumble picked up and amplified to a minor earthquake on your speakers, knowing that if you dropped the tone arm now, it would would throw out the speaker cones, you're dealing with shitty high-noise (as opposed to good low noise) audio electronics. Which is what they stick in those 'built-in' turntables. The hiss means you might as well be listening to a cassette.
That's why, for instance, Punk died as soon as it hit the west coast, in about 1979. I remember, having been a denizen in the clubs at that time, when the people with 'punk' costumes and camera crews started dominating the dance floor at the clubs. It was all 'Professional Wrestling' from that point on.
When the marketing fucks get involved, it's dead, man, dead.
There isn't an existing strong prior art of people running arbitrary code in their microwave or freezer. Whirlpool isn't bent on slowly taking over a formerly thriving third-party appliance firmware market.
Your analogy fails badly. Thanks for trying, though.
If he wasn't such a 'shiney-thing-driven' former coke-head it wouldn't matter. But 'visionaries' are almost always dangerous if they have much power over anybody else.
Comcast recently started 'securing' my neighbor's unencrypted wifi connection (thank you!) by password protecting their DNS server. After they did that, on my next web browsing session out on the back porch (their signal is stronger than ours out there) I noted it. Then I switched the DNS server for the connection to 4.2.2.1 and 4.2.2.2 and continued browsing. I am happy that they feel it secured their connection and are doing nothing more.
Knowing what you are doing is strictly against company policy. We have a committee of experts who have thoroughly reviewed the Work Instructions for the task at hand. Those who 'know what they are doing' will deviate from these Work Instructions. We find this unacceptable.
One of the quirks of American trademark law is that if a trademark holder does not aggressively "defend" its trademark it risks losing said trademark. But before you decry this as just another vulgar americanism, remember that this is not just a really dumb aspect to trademark law -- It's a jobs program for lawyers.
What's the alternative? A government bureaucracy of 'trademark police' whose job is to go out and enforce private businesses' IP? The way it is makes the most sense. The burden of protecting IP belongs on the backs of the IP owner, not the taxpayer in general.
Anybody who pays taxes has a right to complain. You don't have to participate in the electorcal circle-jerk operation to have a right to an opinion. Participation can come in many forms. You can fuck with whomever gets elected, no matter who gets elected, in very effective ways if necessary.
The idea that 'you need to get involved to have your say' implies incorrectly that the game as presently being played has 'rules' that are sacrosanct. People need to tip over some fucking card tables. Get the political dipshits' shirts a little dirty.
Anybody who pays taxes has a right to complain. You don't have to participate in the charade that is an election to have a right to voice an opinion. What we really need is for the most 'politically active' sorts to fuck off. Don't try to draw the rest of us into your little bullshit game.

Reynolds Wrap is aluminum, not tin. Though you might not understand the difference, it's important for those 'in the know.'
To your larger point, though, Apple will jump and roll with the market. It's a company almost totally run by the marketing dudes, for goodness sakes.
Different strokes for different folks.
(hey kids! ask your mom to explain any double meaning in the above)

The essence of Rawk and Roll is rebellion.

That's what Steve Jobs is, BTW.

'Martha My Dear' has a bad skip on my vinyl White Album.
But I ripped the CD from the library anyway, so the vinyl album is just a relic in my collection.

People never write books to communicate a message and get the word out.
They just write books to 'move units.' Yep. Everybody, everywhere in the world, thinks like marketing slime.
Everybody in the Apple World, anyhow, it seems.
That's trying to implement his own vision.

In his universe Apple-Hater is a proper noun. 'Haters' is a generic term and doesn't carry the same fright factor.
You're right. Just look at the candy and pay no mind whatsoever to whatever else the stranger might have planned.
Knowing what you're doing is SO 20th century.

There is no real right answer to this outside of the sense of self preservation would sort of require you to act in some way to avoid your death.
Sure there's a right way to answer that scenario. It isn't at the core just 'self preservation.'
You pick up a weapon, you kill the fucker. You're a hero. You saved the other people in the rooms' lives.
OMFG did Bush prove me wrong.
Just as Kerry or Gore would have.
