I know the OpenDoc thing goes way back but what I am commenting on is the effect it can have on the common user and their experience. So yes, we should see OOP and OpenDoc happening but not just in the OS and app code, I mean how it metamorphoses …

Which would you rather have - a good king or a democracy of fools? While some may fear one company controlling too much of the IT industry, one has to look at how that company got its power and its actions. I think MS got their power illegally a…

This guy is asking a valid question about Bose. I am an audio engineer and musician and know I have good ears and experience for evaluating sound systems. Unfortunately I do not know how good most Bose systems are. I have heard some and have …

I've actually enjoyed the various posts on this thread. As a former Unix SysAdmin, it is good to get under the hood and hear guys talk about the engine, and well as all the old "hotrods" we used along the way. IT guys = the mechanics of the 21st c…

Some people obviously haven't read the book Flatland. In that book, the author builds a world of 2 dimensional characters and has a 3d character intersect the 2D plane. However all the people who are stuck only seeing 2 dimensions don't get wha…

So by analogy, is a Lexus just a a Ford with a fancy GUI? I think not. Same with Mac OS X just being UNIX + GUI. The problem is with the word "just". Mac OS X is Unix, no question. It also has a great GUI. But that is not all it is. Throw i…

A lot of people don't really know what they are talking about, whether it is calling AppleTV a failure or that Apple killed the music industry. Just because some self called "analyst" or "expert" says something doesn't mean it is true. Just becau…

I'd like to see integrated iSight camera, optional speakers that blend in with the design, and maybe high resolution. response times, and accuracy. I do not think they need anything bigger than 30" for now. Nothing too ground breaking just a solid…

Not thinking outside the box? That's not the point of an app like this as far as I am concerned. How about a huge price drop compared to Photoshop CS3? That is the big deal here. There is no good reason most people need to pay $600 for Photosh…

I would like to see Apple introduce an iLife Home Server app that holds the iTunes, iPhoto, and iMovie Libraries. I also would like it to hold Garageband sample libraries. That way my wife, kids, and I can all access these libraries quickly and ea…

We all agree that a crummy online store, product integration, etc is no threat to iTunes. But what if a label like Universal, or all the labels did their own stores and did a good job at it? It is not that hard to download a iTunes Store clone and…

I think the current debate misses the point. Apple's iTunes is only as good as the content it has for sale. If the big four labels jump ship and partner or start their own download store, what does Apple have to sell? Ownership of the content is …

gastroboy, You asked the good question whether Apple wants to become a major Windows developer? Well, how about this question - Why is Microsoft a major developer of Apple software? Is not that what MS Office is? Now iWork is finally good enou…

Come on, anybody have any more info? Somebody has to know something more.

I agree that it is an interesting time for Apple. I think Jobs and company have been way ahead of us on many things and they have done a good job. I'm sure they have multiple things in the pipeline and look forward to seeing their vision. The…

Bg_nyc, you may be right on all accounts but I'm not so sure. Changing their strategic directive is not that uncommon for Apple now. The iPod, iPhone, and AppleTV are three examples of change. Before that was Final Cut, Logic, Shake, and others. …

In a related way, I also see Microsoft's entry into the console wars a move to block the promised NCs, the networked computers people predicted to threaten PCs. It just so happened Microsoft ended up in a good place for the living room media center…

Mr. Me, Your right, that is not like Apple to cripple apps, though some people think that is what they did with the new iMovie. My take with iMovie is I like what they did a lot. They need to give us back a little more audio functionality, slow mo…

It is like shutting the barn door after the horses are already out. In the past, Microsoft got away with just about everything. The antitrust laws didn't work - or more accurately, they weren't enforced. In Europe, it is still to be seen. Yes, …

Yeah, and these laws didn't stop Microsoft in the past.
