22 days isn't very long, and it sounds like they're not entirely sure where they stand.
Bollocks. Just like other copyrighted code, Parallels shouldn't release derived binaries until they're compliant.
What if (say) Microsoft was including some Apple products in Vista - and hadn't responded to Apple's questions for 22 days. Would you be saying "Calm down, give Microsoft some more time to seek legal advice"?
The alternative is that they'll clamp down, pull the feature, and release nothing.
Well, I can see why that would upset Parallels fans - but please explain wtf wine should care.
From the tech specs it seems to be lithium ion battery.
The think secret gallery (along with the anandtech photos) clearly shows the battery to be a Lithium Ion Polymer (frequently abbreviated to Li-Poly). Couldn't you even have checked what the GP was referring to before posting?
Apple stores & AT&T stores can sell iPhone batteries. In any case, everyone else and their dog will be selling iphone skins/cases/carry bags/random accessories - they'd sell batteries too if they could.
I just pity your allegiance to an evil empire...*snip*...are you getting paid to disgorge FUD as part of some astroturf campaign, or are you just a freelance apple hater?
Sad that Apple fanbois believe anyone who says anything against Apple is a MS Shill.

The Newton wasn't so much a flop....
And then you spend the next three paragaphs explaining why & how the Newton flopped. A poorly aimed product that failed to meet sales expectations until being canned sounds like a flop to me.
Offtopic - I'd consider changing the site you link to. You're probably not aware, but roughly drafted are a bunch of link spammers / poster farmers who were caught trying to game Digg a few months back.
Most of the software would surely exist without the FSF, just under a different license.
Gentle reminder. Linux & most other free software couldn't exist if RMS hadn't written GCC. Do you have any idea how much toolchains cost prior to GCC?
Not something your average hobbiest could afford.

The Newton is still being used by some, and is more powerful than some PDAs on the market right now.
While the above statement is true, it in no way invalidates the fact that the newton was a flop.
Just how obvious does the corruption in the White House have to be before you demand a change of government?
Judging by the number of people still defending this administration on slashdot, it would seem the parade scandals, lies, coverups & half-truths aren't enough. What will it take to convince you people? Does Cheney have to visit each house in the US personally, pry open the door with his shotgun, be caught shitting in your pillowcase while installing a keylogger on your PC?
Except Firefox was not new except in name, it had an established user base that wanted to try it immediately
That's why I made the comparison. FF 1.0 went from 0 to a huge userbase very quickly. For Safari to get downloads in the same ballpark is fantastic. Imagine what's going to happen when they bundle it with itunes.

Care to explain the relevance of this comment? ...*snip*...Unless I'm misreading your comment...
Yup, you are misreading my comment. Here's my original comment, with the pronouns expanded:
If you (parallels) don't want to respect other people's (wine's) copyright, why should anyone respect your (parallels) copyright?

Stop wineing already! ::Ducks::
If you don't want to respect other people's copyright, why should anyone respect your copyright?
Their OS includes no activation or DRM.
Incorrect. Apple encrypt certain binaries & ensure you're not running on a virtual machine or whitebox hardware before allowing you run them.
So, we have encrypted binaries that put limitations on your use of Apple software beyond what copyright law allows. The classic definition of DRM.
Activation has nothing to do with DRM.
Learn things.
Indeed. I'll even go as far as to add. Don't let your fanboism get in the way of actually learning things.
Are you an idiot?
Apple stores & AT&T stores can sell iPhone batteries. In any case, everyone else and their dog will be selling iphone skins/cases/carry bags/random accessories - they'd sell batteries too if they could.
Can they please go back to making computers now?
No
Joke's aside - the thing I really noted from TFA was:More planned obsolescence. Pity. I'd like to see Apple go a little greener. A non-user replaceable battery limits the life of a device substantially.

I could ask the same question to you. How much are you paid by Microsoft to make the mac community look stupid?
you know that's my website,
No, wtf would I associate a slashdot user called DECS with R.D?
"Poster farmer"? What a stretch to pull that out your ass.
Whatever you say AlexW.

Looks like it worked - allready mentioned on slashdot!

Even funnier - check out the avari wikipedia page.
A vanity wiki page for a vanity publisher!
Erg, roughly drafted - the site that got busted spamming digg.
Do we really need links from sites that need to spam digg for page impressions on the front page?
To be fair, Apple is pretty lax on software DRM. I have been using OSX since 10.0 and I have never been asked to enter a serial number.
Try installing OS X in a Virtual Machine.
I understand that this will limit what my DVR can do, and I'm fine if it just acts like a solid-state VCR.
Then go with mythTV. Anything else will limit you in some way.
Businesses probably shouldn't rely on proprietary communications technology
Are you talking about MS, Apple or RIM?

Can someone explain to me the reasoning behind the bans on cuba.
No, noone can. There is no reasoning behind the bans on Cuba. It's purely emotional.
Hopefully the Linux community will now consolidate around Canonical and Red Hat
Debian? Where would Canonical be without them?
Chavez is clearly ignorant of the fact that in the 20th century, central planning failed everywhere and produced 100 million corpses in the process
Central planning failed everywhere? Singapore? Nordic countries?

Well if you go back a bit they reached this number more than twice as quickly as Firefox did with their Fahrenheit 1 million campaign.
I think you're thinking of the RC releases. 1 million people downloaded FF 1.0 on the first day of release.
