Steve Jobs, a very sad day.
It will be interesting to see if Apple's great success and innovation continues now that he's really gone.
Written on my MBP
Recently I was involved with a medium sized desktop roll out for an insurance company in Australia, they decided to stick with Windows XP & Office 2003 because this combination does everything required, is stable, secure and the users & admins are comfortable with it. They expect to be with this combination for at least 3 years.
Obviously cost savings were a factor, an OS upgrade 7 would lead to an update of office, which would require a new set of standard templates/documents, costly staff training and not to mention the server side of things. Office 2010 conveniently doesn't support Exchange 2003. When considering 5,000+ workstations these things matter.
Microsoft is failing to demonstrate the real benefits of an upgrade to Windows 7? Looking at http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/products/features, the main appealing item is 64-bit support, but it's possible to run XP 64-bit. Two features that interest me are the Windows Deployment Tools and the new Windows Search services.
I got so sick of sitting in traffic for hours that I moved to the city so I can walk to and from work, I've been doing that about 4 years, it's great - however I miss some things from living in the 'burbs - community, large garage, dog....
After the NBN roll out continues across Australia, will it will be technically easier for the government to implement a filter (because NBN Co. controls the network hardware)?

is there an easy way to get a basic understanding of what the 1023 IBM patents are for, are they mostly algorithm patents or?

I'd be interested to see the source code for sure

Wouldn't Google have unified the infrastructure mentioned above for youtube and other services?
if so, obviously the cost centers and operating cost of youtube are substantially less.
