iOS is for my phone or my tablet. Not my computer.
Eventually, we'll want the same flexibility we've grown to enjoy on our computers, on our small devices. Then, iOS will not be acceptable anymore.

You have to remember that your company has no loyalty to you. If their revenues drop and they have to save money, your job will be on the line!
Always do whats best for you and yours (family).

We were quoted on two Gluster servers, replicated. The answer was 'no support on Ubuntu', we'd have to switch to their ISO install, and $8500/yr for support.

Didn't this happen when Linux started emulating Windows?
"Games run faster in Linux/Wine(Cedega) than in Windows"

Why is everyone so shocked that an emulation layer can be faster now, when before it was "look at us, we're great?"
South Korean Textbooks to Go Digital by 2015 123
South Korea plans to spend $2.4 billion buying tablets for students and digitizing materials in an effort to go completely digital in the classroom by 2015. From the article: "This move also re-ignites the age-old debate about whether or not students learn better from screens or printed material. Equally important, there's the issue of whether or not devices with smaller form factors are as effective as current textbooks, which tend to have significantly more area on each page."

Right, so we might as well stop selling knives, because someone might stab someone in the future. Or stop selling guns, or stop selling axes, or matches.
All these things COULD be used to do damage.
Where do you draw a line, and why do you draw it. I suspect its arbitrary.

Everybody take a deep breath. The log does not go to Apple, it stays on the phone. Apple is not tracking anybody, your phone is...but its your phone so where is the problem.
Worst case, maybe they should have encrypted the file.
Big Deal.

Why not just install Windows on the macbook pro?
It'll install and work fine, but you can use BootCamp if you want to.

Doubtful. If that was the case then GCC would not have been replaced with Clang and LLVM. And Apple would not have put LLDB into the open source domain.
Apple just does not like the GPL, but they have no problem with the BSD-style licensing.

No corporation is required to have a succession plan. Why should Apple?
You are going to say that Steve is so important to Apples success and continued success that a plan should be required.
I'm going to say that Steve is one man that relies on many people to come up with a successful product.
If there is no law that requires a succession plan, then Apple should not be made to make a plan.
