Current versions of Mac OS X require 64-bit EFI. The original Mac Pros only had 32-bit EFI. Mountain Lion does not have a 32-bit kernel and will not load 32-bit drivers in kernel space (kexts). If you replace the graphics card in the original Mac Pro with one that has a 64-bit driver, you can install Mountain Lion on the original MacPro1,1.

comes with some incredible first party applications.
On Windows, I believe that's called "crapware".
Confused. What does SSL handshaking with a remote server relate to what an app does internally to itself in a virtual machine?
I don't see what this has to do with Oracle/Java politics.
Google had/has absolutely no idea what the "correct" list of cipher order was/is. Google copied the order from OpenSSL. Google removed dependency on OpenSSL. Google copied from another source, which happened to be Java.
The ultimate choice may have been done for compatibility with websites not supporting TLS 1.2 but it was not done for compatibility with Java.
The iOS version no longer works.
Aside from the fact the government and many institutions (like Banking in the US) already have your fingerprint...
Is there any evidence at all that the fingerprint data store in the A7 is even usable outside of iOS? There's no reason at all to store a raw image of the fingerprint. How would you recreate the fingerprint to make it usable to someone?
Not really, the article is quite specifically talking about Unix. Linux and iOS and OSX are not Unix.
Mac OS X is UNIX. iOS and Linux are not.
"how is this any different than the fact that Apple pays for product placement in *every* TV show or movie that has a laptop or phone in it?"
Apple doesn't tend to pay for product placements. When TV shows/Movies use a product on camera they will often go to the manufacturer demanding money for the logo to be seen. Apple says no in these cases. That's why most TV shows/movies using Apple products have the apple logo hidden under something (like a post-it note).
When the companies go to the TV show/movie people asking for product placement, the camera will usually hover unnaturally over the product for an extended period of time.
standard USB power port as in the same kind everyone else used/uses. The spec you pointed to didn't exist until 2010. Apple's USB charger predates the Standard standard but does not predate other standard USB chargers. If you've had a standard USB charger before Oct, 2011, chances are great that it does not conform to the 1.2 spec either.
("standard" as in bog-standard not as in the 1.2 Battery charging Standard).
No. the cables aren't built so cheaply that they would melt enough to break a circuit when a little heat is created. That's what fuses are for and USB cables aren't fuses.
It is a standard USB power port.
It's the "big lie". What is the charger for an Android phone? Oh right, a standard USB cable. What is the charger for an Apple product?
The Apple charger has a standard USB power port. Just like all Android chargers that plug into a power outlet.
Here is Apple's standard USB charger. Note that it has a USB port.
Here is a Galaxy S4 USB charger. Not that is has a USB port.
Either charger can be used interchangeably to charge either phone.
No one is going to die by having 5volts applied to their face.
But they do die from having 220 volts applied to their face.
The issue is that the counterfeit chargers short and deliver the mains directly to the head. It doesn't matter what electronic device is involved. hell, doesn't matter if any electronic device is connected to the end of the other side of the USB cable when the circuit is completed.
This is a video of a real murder and dismemberment done in the most gruesome way possible. There's no artistic, political, or cultural value in this video, it's just horribly shocking.
This is obviously wrong. It does have political and cultural value. After all, the video spawned this entire debate.
Perhaps you should become aware of XProtect.
