Actually this has been in the works for a while... AMD did not originally design this but the design team was bought lock stock and barrell from a fabless startup called alchemy semiconductor. Just off the top of my head I recall that these were the original strongarm design team guys that took off when digital got bought out or something like that.

I don't understand what the big deal is with registering to view NYT articles. In all the time I've been registered, I've never been spammed or had my information sold to someone else.
This organization is well respected and pays their writers and editors real money in order to give information that is timely and well researched. In return they are only asking for you to register for free. If you do not think this exchange is fair, do not register and do not look at the article. Sheesh.
I'd bet a large portion of the do-not-register-and-bypass-the-system-hyporcrites- whining-because their-tinfoil-hats-are-too-tight are the same ones who post angry articles because the GPL has been violated. But now I'm just burning karma. Mod me down, but posts like this are not insightful.
But the text of the leaflets and emails are now available, along with a transcript:

From what I've seen, I think the biggest loss of the move from nextstep to openstep to cocoa has been the loss of nxhost. It's VNC, windows terminal services and X Windows all rolled into one.

On the foreign NeXT machine run the application from a terminal window with the -NXHost . Both machines should be running the same version of NeXTstep.
erm, the guy is being serious. The parent post should not be modded funny. It should be modded insightful. The widgets concept is a derivative of Apple's original Desk Accessories from OS 9.
Dashboard looks similar externally to Konfabulator because both are OS X looking applications, with a glossy theme. Internally, they are different, although some of their feature sets overlap by allowing use of HTML common scripting languages.
Sorry if I'm vague and foggy, but I just woke up. Please feel free to flame and roast this post.
Not to mention the number of electronic voting devies used in this election, ALL (as far as I know) which have been *proven* to have hackable and faulty security. How scary is that?
Not at all. It gives us, the puppetmasters, plausible deniability.
Think more creatively. Suppose I wanted to infect a person's machine or otherwise. You could spoof them to go to microsoft.com for an update and instead they go to a site that contains the GDI exploit bug, or itself is a direct download to the mac rootkit.

Let me put it this way: if the unit is heating up and everything else is constant (and the unit is functioning normally), then the reason why it's heating up is because you are using the processor...imperfect analogy time...I don't think you'd be too happy if you stepped on the accelerator and the car slowed down after the first block because the car wanted to preserve your fuel economy.
Sorry, I have to respectfully disagree with your statement.
An iPod killer has to be cooler than the iPod. That's it.
Granted UI and integration are part of the mix, but to be honest, I don't think the public gives a hoot about OGG. OGG doesn't provide joe average with any perceived benefits, so mp3/aac are considered 'good enough'. On the other hand, if there was a new format that was 10x more compression with better audio, that would be interesting.
The working with all stores thing is a bit of a red herring too, as people would be complaining about iTunes music store being too expensive or constrained, etc. It seems that ITMS is good enough as well. However, if a hardware player had software that automatically searched p2p networks for albums etc, then there'd be many people interested (especially lawyers).
Pricing isn't a major issue either, although the top iPod is probably skirting the limits of an impulse buy device. It just has to give a better perceived value than the iPod, whether it's + or - compared to the iPod.
I'll give you the reliability point, but also add consistency of the product too.
That's because Mr. Gates doesn't perceive Apple as being an OS vendor unto themselves. He looks at Apple as the premier research division of Microsoft.
Upon reading this, some questions would spring to mind when considering the smaller developer. I'll just use Fuji as an example, since I was just looking at their camera.
Standards are not necessarily better for the small guy. Nikon and Canon have rectangular sensor arrangements, while Fuji's is diagonal. Does this new standard allow for diagonally arranged pixels? If the camera/software must interpolate the pixels (superimpose) onto a 'square' grid, which destroys the point of RAW mode on the Fuji.
Does the.DNG format allow for dual sensor arrangements? Fuji has a dual sensor arrangement that captures extended range information on a smaller photosite.
Now I'm a Canon guy, so.DNG would be OK for me, but I see this standard as potentially limiting innovation for other players, especially the smaller developer who has a unique offering.
Let's say a smaller developer who has an ER camera that captures into IR or UV and require 24-bit or 36-bit RAWs, are they supported?
If.DNG cannot support 'odd' and innovative raw sensor data (ie. cannot be extended as a spec), then.DNG will harm small developers because.DNG will limit innovation and force everyone to move upon price alone since they are all developing to a single 'spec'.

Mod me down, looser (sp.)!
And how much of that FUD was spread by Microsoft, which wanted to buy some time for their developers to catch up to Apple's Mac systems?
What you are suggesting is analogs in evolution, such as reindeer and caribou, which fill equivalent niches in their respective environments.
Analogs may be very close in phenotype (expressed physical traits), but genetically are quite different.
If they rediscovered this plant, they would have checked it against known genotypes and found that it is the 'extinct' species.
