Yeah, because some web site posted vague information about a rumored product ban by unspecific intelligence agencies for the possibility of a rumored back door, with no information whatsoever.
Probably not.

Or, was half the remaining Blackberry customer base simply tricked into buying something else that sucks?
I'm pretty sure that it is neither Malaysian Airlines, nor Boeing's fault that it was hit with an anti-aircraft missile.
What, is the 777 supposed to be equipped with flares and chaff now?
Intel has always been the absolute best in the world at semiconductor manufacturing. It's their lithography that has kept them in the game through various design missteps (and disasters).
And yet, at the same time, the vast majority of PCs were still using DOS, because Windows was a fucking joke and all the software that ran in Windows was over-bloated garbage.
News flash: All PC options in 1993 sucked.
Except that this one law from Congress makes sure that 10,000 municipalities cannot enact a tax on internet service.
So it is not a waste of time.
No, this just means that local municipalities cannot attach an excise tax to internet service, like they do for telephone service.
Governments are free to spend tax dollars on building networks and providing access, within applicable legal frameworks.
Example - City X cannot attach a 5% excise tax onto your cable modem service in order to pay for sewer repairs.
Here's something that will deflate your entire argument: most conservatives don't claim to be open and inclusive - you set up that straw man and knocked the hell out of it. Liberals do, and then bash anyone with different ideas or beliefs as neo-conservative warmongering science-denying ultra-fascist teahadists.
It's perfectly possible to be open to ideas from both sides of the spectrum. In fact, it's where the majority of the electorate is because no particular philosophy has a monopoly on good ideas. It's called being a moderate. You might have heard of it.
I just find it fascinating that left leaning people always proclaim how they are such fans of diversity and inclusion, yet revile any thoughts that might stand in opposition to their own.
God forbid people be open minded towards new ideas, or even old ones.

Great Society was an LBJ thing. You're off by 30 years.
I'd be happier with a deal with VMware, since VMware already has XServe3 and MacPro3 through 5 (and soon, 6) in their HCL.
Just let me run OS X Server on the blades I already have, FFS. We'll even buy a "VMware Edition" that costs more. Give me the choice.
Oh boy, no.
AppleTalk has been dead for a decade. Everything on OS X is IP.
Have you tried actually routing mDNS? Those tools work just fine across subnets, as they are direct IP - it's just an AFP share for Time Machine and a standard CUPS print server. What it sounds like isn't working is Bonjour service discovery (mDNS), which uses multicast.
It's a good thing that there is plenty of MDM solutions that fully support everything you want to do without having to ever touch a Mac then, isn't it? The only thing that requires a Mac is the iPhone Config Utility, and a Mac Mini fixes that nicely. And, now with touchless device enrollment, you probably don't even need that anymore.
OS X Server is not required for management of iOS devices, and in fact only makes sense if you are a Mac shop and using Profile Manager to manage your OS X boxes. Otherwise, look at the many other solutions available that can also manage Android and WinMo in order to not lock yourself to a platform any more than necessary.
Only on Slashdot would someone say that IBM wanting to get into the mobile game without starting from scratch = Apple not innovating.
It's a naive, domestic operating system without any breeding, but I think you'll be amused by its presumption.
