OS/X means either 'The Tenth Version of MacOS' which is laughable because they're what? on the sixth iteration of that... or it means 'OS Unknown' as X is sometimes used, because the guys at Apple in charge of developing OSes are still working on Taligent or Pink, or Sagan, or Buttheadastrononmer or whatever the name of the new MacOS was being called back before they gave up, admitted they couldn't write a real Operating System, and just allowed themselves to be taken over by NeXT, who themselves didn't write an OS, just took Mach and schlepped some stuff on top of it.
People who wildly rant instantly lose credibility. We all know that. However, using the word 'sheep' in a post is not inherently a form of wildly wanting. GP made an on-topic comment and it had some credibility.
However, I do notice that you wildly ranted and used the word 'sheep.'
Why would they want to spin off the Apple brand name into a business they obviously don't know how to do, and have failed at with each previous attempt? That's called 'brand-name dilution' and it's looked down on in marketing circles.
There isn't 'Magic Apple Fairy Dust' that can be sprinkled on a new 'IT Division' that will make it successful. They're just not good at the enterprise biz and have finally figured it out.
With a decent group making apps people really want instead of zillions of little crap apps.
The 'zillions of crappy little apps' are indeed a problem. At least with the 4.0 update, they give us a way to 'rope in' some of the apps and get a little control of the sea of icons, with the new 'folders' feature (wow! a new feature from Apple! folders to put icons in!)
It would allow Apple to take their 30% cut of people buying additional copies of their iDevice apps so they can run it on their desktops and save/exchange/sync data.
It's pretty unlikely that people would need to buy additional copies. The current policy allows people to install their App Store downloads on multiple devices, I believe to up to 4 devices (have never tried it, just own one iPod Touch.) Why would they all-of-a-sudden not allow one of the four to be a virtual device?
On the converse, I feel that if someone is to be executed, there should be a handful of dummy executions first. Why give them the dignity in death that they denied their victim.
So, you turn the execution into kind of like a game show. The button is pressed. Whoops! This wasn't the one. We'll try again later. If the convicted criminal is reduced to a subhuman simpering fool by the time the actually execution happens, it will be a good thing.
However, I recognize we have this 'cruel and unusual punishment' thing to account for, I suppose. So dress him up as a clown first.
I am pro-freedom on the point of motorcycle helmets. Because the headless corpses of motorcycle riders are excellent organ donors. In fact, even in states with mandatory helmet laws, riders should be free to not wear a helmet, as long as they are designated an "organ donor" on their driver's license.
At this point that may be what we are talking about.
But once the process begins, a mechanism will come into place to efficiently collect said dead babies. Essentially it's the same as feeding a dog at the table. You give it some food, and it learns to hang out there and hope for more. Eventually, these 'tissue collection' people will become a business. They'll have their expenses to meet, and may begin to encourage the harvest of the resources they traffic in. They'll want there to be a regularly present supply, after all.
Yes, but they already have this problem in Afghanistan, except right now it focuses on growing poppies and producing lots of opium. So there's a political/economic elite already in place. What this 'mineral wealth' might do is give the local people something 'better' to sell for their livelihood.
TB is still a TB even if it's on 6000 nine track reels from 1975
True, but a TB on 6000 nine track reels takes a month to process. I don't know if you were around then, but I mounted a lot of nine track reels in the late 70's.
Apple loves all the specialty apps, because it allows them to boast about "100,000 more apps in the store just in the last few months."
So there are 'apps' that are radio players for each and every single Radio Station's stream. Celebrities have started putting up their own apps. A lot of eBooks are sold as separate Apps in the store.
NeXT would never be allowed to buy ARM. They already stepped over the line with their takeover of Apple, and too many anti-trust regulatory types would perk up and start scrutinizing the deal.

As they're two completely different things, it's perplexing what point you were trying to make.
Give it a little time.
The English Department wouldn't admit them, either.
So they went to Journalism School.
We think he's talking about the DLL conflicts in Windows NT 4.0. But we're not sure.

I remember reading a Simon Cowell interview recently where he was deploring all the 'knife crime' in big cities in the U.K.
When you take away the guns, the violence re-emerges with knives.

There is also DAMM (Drunks Against Mad Mothers)
In the Apple/IBM/Motorola alliance, Apple's job was to make the coffee.
NeXT would never be allowed to buy ARM. They already stepped over the line with their takeover of Apple, and too many anti-trust regulatory types would perk up and start scrutinizing the deal.
What ever happened to Altivec? We never see slides about it in presentations anymore....
C'mon. This is apple.slashdot.org and they needed to fill some space between now and the Iphone 4 hoopla for next week.
Based on a few articles in National Geographic you read as a kid and a few PBS specials on volcanic activity, right?
Given that the opposing opinion comes from a pork-rolling blowhard Senator, those sound like pretty credible sources.
Flamebait? Did this suddenly turn into a fever swamp? Where's Marcos?
For your intended meaning, you need to capitalize the 'T' in truth, and maybe slap on a trademark symbol.
It's maybe off-topic, but the consensus seems to be that the Taliban were punishing the 7-year old boy's family.
