It's called Auto Layout and it's much more powerful than the Gtk APIs you mentioned. Note that this is new to 10.7 but the equivalent of the Gtk APIs was available in earlier releases.

Enterprises can run their own app stores. "Custom B2B App Distribution" is distributing an app on someone else's enterprise app store.

I guess I wasn't clear. You can replace the battery and you can get them from other sources but Apple does not consider them user replaceable for warranty purposes. The strongly discourage Joe user from messing with them because they can be dangerous and there are issues with disposing of them.

The batteries are different in that all the extraneous packaging thats required for safe handling of the uninstalled battery has been removed. The laptop case itself is the protective packaging. The batteries are not off-the-shelf items. They are custom shaped specifically to fit in the spec available in the case.

CPUs stagnated?!?! You might think that if you only look at clock speed but a current generation Core i7 blows away anything 2 years old, much less five.

They are not user replaceable in that Apple won't sell you a battery unless your an authorized repair center. However, popping off the bottom of the case and swapping them is trivial. The benefits from making them non-replaceable far outweigh any drawbacks. They are able to pack a lot more battery into a lot smaller laptop.

Actually, there were MANY more witch trials and killings in europe than there ever were in America. Some would even argue that the environment here was safer since diversity of religious practice was generally accepted.

Believe it or not the system Dell uses for blowing the images down to the machines is based on Netware. It's flat amazing how fast it pushes bits.

Actually, they are as of Q4 2011. They surpassed HP as the number one manufacturer of laptops and desktops.

Your using old data.

Actually, there are limits to how a person can be terminated even in at-will states. There is a long list of things an employer can do that will open them up for litigation or regulatory enforcement. "at-will" does not equal "capricious";

Thats a massive oversimplification of the Republican position. Republicans do support the enforcement of laws and this is against the law. This has NOTHING to do with the regulations they oppose.
