   Yeah sounds credible to me. Last year had Snow Leopard which was primarily a dev-oriented release - this year it's the iPhones/iPod/iPad. I would speculate next year's will be all about the consumer and Mac OS X 10.7, could be wrong though.

   I was replying to the "open computers" statement of which I took to primarily mean operating systems. Which unless you call Mac OS or Windows open, IMHO my point re: linux still stands.

   No, you have a point about open systems in general, to which I agree wholeheartedly, I simply referring to consumer-facing devices. And if the consumer really wanted an open system, again Linux on the desktop (Ubuntu?) should be have much m

    Pretty sure DRM started out as an industry idea. Regardless, it all pretty much had to happen the way it did. At the time, none of the major studios would have considered releasing DRM-free music. The had to be shown that it would work firs

    Grandma better hurry, with big content writing the next wave of international copyright policy, mainstream piracy of TV and movies will be dead in a couple of years. That, or, she better read up on Tor. :)

    You'll pay for it and watch their ads. It's happened twice before, once with cable TV and again with satellite radio.

    On the other hand, I've always erased and installed fresh, with Snow Leopard being my first upgrade - and it has been good, with the exception of a corrupt font cache (2500~ fonts).

    I wonder how much software is written just for FreeBSD or Mac OS X - i.e. how much traction does this news provide for the GCD movement?

    Yeah you may be right, but these almost "religious" deployment transition seem familiar to me, remembering... FastCGI -> LigHTTP (+others) -> Mongrel -> Passenger, and it seems like we've had a crucifixion at each stage of devel

    I haven't personally switched away from Mongrel yet, but the community seems to agree with you and Passenger/REE probably are the "future" (er, current?) best deployment method - which is fine by me. What bothers me, though, is how for some
