Probably he waited for Keynote to be available, and had been using Concurrence on Openstep.

"We're not talking about the average here." No, but if you're not hiring low-paid positions, then clearly the people you're left hiring are going to be for high-pay positions. Also, the number of >$150k positions went from 1% to 4%. Whi

That's meaningless without info about what those jobs are. Clueful SEC investigators, skilled engineers, top scientists aren't going to come cheap. Also, "since Obama took office" doesn't mean much, since Obama's first year in office was un

Oh good lord, this is just asinine. As if the Beatles were the first outfit to start on a shoestring and then make it big. I'm sure there are similar stories about early jazz artists, vaudeville acts, English music hall performers, etc.

"App" is perfectly natural for Apple, given that OS X applications (and NeXT apps before) have the extension .app

I like the tudor-esque slate roof. It's interesting that it's so close to the road. Is it in a gated community?

I'm more interested in the pictures of the NeXT factory at http://allaboutstevejobs.com/pics/places/fremont/fremont.htm... I want the giant-sized NeXT Cube-front wall hanging in picture 4 of the "Steve at the NeXT Factory" set.

FWIW, I expect he was running OpenStep on that laptop. Supposedly he kept using OpenStep on an Intel laptop after he returned to Apple. I suppose he switched once OS X was running on PowerBooks.

No. Because people go offline and/or have expensive data plans, and/or sketchy wifi, and/or don't want to waste battery streaming.

It's about the 'newest' black hole yet found. 30 years old, plus 50 million years for the light to get here.

It's not clear if that's an IPS LCD identical to the iPhone 4's, or if it's a non-IPS LCD with the same resolution.

A store is someplace Apple needs people to visit, so it would make sense for Jobs to do something like that, to generate interest. From the point of view of an iTunes user, the NC data center is irrelevant. It's a hidden implementation deta

They're deprecating their DRM and switching to PlaysForSure, with no route for conversion of old purchased files. That certainly would never be forgotten.

But there's no reason to time an announcement because of North Carolina. NYC has big media companies and their CEOs, news media and their taping studios, and Wall Street. North Carolina has a big building full of Apple's servers. (If it's e

It's even friendlier for NY. And it's not an 'event'. I bet it's about streaming, and the PR effort will be based in New York (convenient for the big labels?), rather than in California.

" as he points out in comparing it to the price of the iPod touch, which is $300 for a comprable model." But the iPod touch has some corners cut. No anti-oil coating on the screen, for one. It also retains the former body shape, not the fla

Was the target a normal missile, or was it equipped with a "here I am!" beacon to make it easier to hit?

How does that effect compensation? Do people plateau in compensation because of the lack of formal levels, or is compensation not tied so tightly to your title/# of reports/etc.

As NeXT proved, you can have good sales to high-end finance firms without being commercially successful.

"I say "American", as that's key" Actually, America is arguably middle-of-the road, as far as this goes. Apple sells iOS devices into countries that are dramatically more censorious. While Apple probably don't want an Apple Store in Tenness

"On the other hand, if you want to flick through the book reading the parts that interest you then paper is still much easier to use." True, but you can make this work a bit better by setting up bookmarks. If a book has a table of contents

The DX is good for that. There's enough space that you can see sample code without horrible wrapping, without using a tiny type size. Also, unlike the iPad, if you get the kindle you can read your kindle books on a desktop computer using th

Slow, like all lightbox implementations. And the flash of the background color is likely to give someone a seizure. (Ok, I'm being facetious there, but it looks jerky.)
