Why? Apple does not make much money at all on iTMS. They load only the most basic and easily defeatable DRM to pacify the music labels. It would make no sence for them to make it iTunes exclusive, especially since they arn't the only game in town.
Oh and on the Ogg Vorbis point... If they supported it then you would not have droves of Ogg Vorbis fans bitching about lack of support, and that is free publicity.
I hate to be Mr. "slippery slope" but where does that kind of logic lead us. We would be exploiting the fear (real or immagined) of innocent and most likly poor people around the world instead of people who can make a fair and reasoned decision about entering the trial. Next we could improve the lives of the homeless by letting them enter clinical trials, I'm sure they could use the money.
Why not substitute Ebola for say a new strain of Small Pox. Our goverment/corprate media machine will scare thousands of people into testing their new miricle cure to the percived imminent fear of terrorist attack.
I realize we live in the real world, and everyone who signs up for a dangerous test like this needs money pretty baddly, but these kind of test should be limmited to people who have no motive to sign up except to advance medicine.

Perhaps you don't need them, but I think they add alot in the right game. Do yourself a favor and play Battlfield 1942. Vehicles make that game. And you could of course play all of the maps except those with vehicles if you wanted to.
If you are going produce a piece of software for collaborative editing, why not name it for the fictionally greatest collaborative work of all time the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Thousands of Hitchhikers submit entries via the SubEtha network. The perfect geek name for a geek product.
Check out anything put out by Interplay. The whole Baulders Gate series had great voice acting. (Go for the eyes Boo go for the eyes *squeak squeak*) BG: Dark Alliance had Dwight Shultz and John Ryhs-Davis. Run Like hell had Lance Hirshkinson? and Kate Mulgrew. The best however is Fallout Tactics with Kurtwood Smith (The dad on that 70's show) as General Bonderanko. Classic.
Boulder in Spring is the best all night bar-hopping experience I have ever had... And I went out on a Wednesday night! Great town, grrrreat women and great atmosphere.
And guess what? If Arnold and his Republican Cronies get elected you might as well have your paycheck direct deposited into Power Comapny's account. The whole power crisis was orgestrated to make money for Bush contributers and to get Davis out of office. Unforunatly only the rich part happened because the republicans ran idoiot #1 Bill Simon. So now they are useing the money they stole from you durning the energy crisis to block a balenced buget (The republicans in the state senate only voted OK after the buget increased spending), buy bad press and get thier poster boy ellected. I'm sorry but you don't live in reality Reality Master.
Perhaps they could bundle a damn memory card with the network bundle. It is a hell of a lot more useful than a game which I will admit is fun but has use for only a few months where the memory card will last.
Because they want to give everyone as much flexiblity and as many options as possible. If you really don't like it you can always create mytar or superrpm or makethecdlikeiwantit with the alias command.
I agree, I have friends at Black Isle who would love nothing more that to get Fallout 3 out. I got a strong impression that they truly appreciate the fans of Fallout and to want to give them a new game that is truly worthy of the franchise.
I have high hopes for Black Isle Studio's Lionheart. It uses the same S.P.E.C.I.A.L RPG system as Fallout and I imagine it will be very open ended. In the Demo I killed a merchant out in the woods. Instead of all of the NPC's coming after me like in other RPG's I got the Merchant Slayer Perk which said the "The Underground notes that you have an inclination towards killing merchants." Which I am sure would lead to side quests later in the game. If it is anything like Fallout you should be able to do whatever you want in the game, and find it enjoyable.
This particular artical seemed biased to my but do not judge Ars Technica as a whole. It consistantly had the BEST coverage of OSX. I did not use OSX as my primary OS until about a year and a half after it came out. But I hit the ground running, because 2 years prior I had read Ars's in depth analysis on all of the Developer Previews and I practically knew the OS Inside and out. Thier 10.2 analisys was spot on as well.
As has been stated up above, it is the 3rd party Developers who wrote Apple off. I am sure Apple would have been happy to have never developed one Pro App, but lets face it Adobe was not getting it done and Apple stepped up to keep their customers. It is not as if Apple was giving this stuff away creating an unfair advantage.
They started devlopment of Outlook for the Mac in 96. I was at Cal State Fullerton at the time, and they had a rule that all software installed on the Windows Computers had to be installed on the Mac. As very big customers of MS they sent us thier pre-beta version of Outlook for Mac. It never even made beta until Office 2001. They could not even use the system time correctly, it was always a few hours off in time stamping. Not to mention crashing the computer at the drop of a hat, looking at it funny, or typing a keystroke which gave our Mac users the true MS experience our NT4 users got.
Yes you can get Outlook for mac 8.6 or higher at http://www.microsoft.com/mac/products/outlook
They had to add a lot of screen time in the movie with women. In the book all female characters except Galadriel were footnotes, and that won't work when half of the movie going audience is female. Granted they might have paced it a little better, but they needed those extra scenes to make money. And on thier own they were good scenes.
Actually what he wants is NetInstall. With NetInstall the swap file is kept on the server and the hard drive can be un-mounted when imageing the machine.
IMHO this book is best for people who have used mac before and some computer experience. If you are very good with computers, MacOSX in a Nutshell is much better. It is a very thourough book and I learn something new every day reading it.
For those people you know who have never used a compter before, get them a Mac and Robin Williams' Mac OS 10.2 book. It starts off with the absolute basics of working with the mouse and moving windows around, all the way up through some pretty thourogh system information for the average user especially internet help.

Awsome. Now if only I could compensate for the time dialation I could figure out when it would be on.

OSX No, but a little story about Outlook Pre-OSX

There is still no commercially availible book for Mac Server 10.2.......
The Chritsmas before last, the PSONE outsold both the XBOX and the GameCube. Sony will be selling PS2 derivitives for years after the PS3 comes out.

Oh yes because the Dodgers have improved so dramatically with Fox at the helm. I mean the pump all kinds of money into their properties.
Screw Fox
Screw Murdoch
