And one more thing...
Yabbut you have to order your bread from Cupertino for $1 a slice.
And you can only use Apple butter at $50 a jar.
Got a tip for us?

My point when I said all that was that Linux did not triumph as home desktops. And indeed, it did not (even if you include that on your post). Linux is not used by the common user for their everyday activity, because people simply want something they KNOW how to work with.

There are some other results if you google or bing "Linux Niche", but I guess that one was the one that only mattered for this point right here.

Apple butter....LOL

And jam/jelly/peanut butter are not permitted - since The Steve has said that they are bad for you.
My only point is linux is far from a niche operating system. BeOS would be a niche though and to a lesser extent I would consider Solaris a niche OS.
You're right. I did look it up but I must have misread. Sorry, my bad.
The second option is about finding a niche for something or someone.In this context, number three is the choice that makes sense.
You could say that the server market is somewhat specific but embedded devices is a lot of different stuff.
Anyway, by your definition, pretty much any OS or software product out there is could be called a niche product, which means the word has no meaning. It does. This isn't an english class so I'm going to leave it at that. English is my second language anyway; I hope this is also true for you.
I'm going to have to agree. WWDC is essentially a software event, although it makes sense due to the timing to debut the newest iPhone.
As for the wish list:
1- introduce new iphone with multiple american carriers models
This could be the time to do this.
2- introduce new apple tv, with actual app store and opened up abilities. ie able to do amazon vod, netflix vod, skype with video, ichat with video, oh yeah and games
Not likely at this event. App store and games would be great, but the latter would necessitate seriously beefed up hardware. Netflix would compete with iTunes, so it won't happen. I'd add, the ability to share your desktop wirelessly with the ATV, but that might have the above business model concerns unless limited. Open up the USB port to external hard drives.
3- Embrace Blu-ray tech
Ha!
4- new mac pro and monitors
Not at this event.
5- actual television with apple tv integrated. and camera.
Not at this event, and really tho?
Linux is definitely a niche product in the desktop sphere. If that was what you meant why didn't you say so? You'll notice that I made that assumption in my first reply to you. The common user probably uses linux all the time on different devices without realizing it, but probably not on their desktop.
Indefinite article
Look up a or an in Wiktionary, the free dictionary.
"A" and "an" function as the indefinite forms of the grammatical article in the English language and can also represent the number one. An is the older form (related to one, cognate to German ein; etc), now used before words starting with a vowel sound, regardless of whether the word begins with a vowel letter.[8] Examples: a light-water reactor; an LWR (Note: When an acronym is spelled out, rather than spelling out what it is that is represented by the letters in the acronym, the phonetics of the acronym should be used when reading the text aloud. So the use of "a" or "an" as shown in this example is correct based on the proper application of this rule); a sanitary sewer overflow; an SSO; a HEPA filter (because HEPA is pronounced as a word rather than as letters); an hour; a ewe; a one-armed bandit; an heir; a unicorn (begins with 'yu', a consonant sound).
Unless of course the next word starts with a vowel sound. It's all up to the sounds, not the letters themselves. I am an honest man.
Either way the poster that complained about the error sniped a post from four pages back about a minor grammar error, so he or she comes off looking dumb.
You don't seriously believe that Bell invented the telephone do you?
Just because he patented it in the US first...
This is actually an excellent example. It does not matter what you invent if you do not have the ability to turn it into something useful.
Meucci certainly deserves some credit for his role in the technology, but was unable to maintain his provisional patent or put his idea to practical use. (If you believe his claim of transmitting articulate voice in 1871) His claim on the the telephone was not all that dissimilar from those of a lot of patent trolls today.
It is clear that Bell invented the telephone networks as we know them today. It is unclear that Meucci ever saw beyond the improvements he was making to his simple intercom.
Dell's burial was last week, so they need no further mention...now it's Google time

You have to excuse BrLawyer. He has tourettes.
Anything that is not Apple is dead, despite the fact that the "dead" companies beat Apple in every measurable sales records, profit, market share, e.g.
I don't feel like reviewing this whole thread, but i find your post fascinating. In what sector that Apple competes in is another company more profitable? It is not true in phones or laptops. I doubt it is true in portable music players but I never bothered to look. I suppose it might be true in office suite software, lets see if we can find out!
One Note: Dell had around $441 million in Profit in their most recent quarter. If we assign 30% of Apples 3.03 billion in profit to Macs, we have about 900 million...This is very generous to Dell because all of their profits do not come from PCs. (They sell TVs, Printers, Ink and a host of other products that have higher margins than their laptops.)
Why black out the f.ck from the original mail?
P.C. has gone to far, it's ridiculous, either delete the whole thing, or leave it as is, we all understand and read it as f.ck, what's the point in blacking it out other than hypocrisy

I would have thought iPhone launch will get it's own event. Just because they will want a full press event not just tech press.
I can't see AppleTV staying intel based. The iPads A4 can put out 85% of the pixels and that has all sorts of size and power contraints that the AppleTV doesn't have. Maybe a dual A4 so one is free to do just video, or an A4 with a dedicated video processor like nVidia ones that can handle BluRAY DRM. I can see them trying to get the store working on the AppleTV.
As for a full TV I just can't see it. Maybe something much much smaller and AppleTV card like a PCI card but to work with TV manufactures. That would more likely come from the likes of Samsung first then Apple, followed quickly by Google. After all it's would really just be HDMI or DP port and a standard power supply to run the card similar to CableCard but open to more devices and more useful world wide.
It would be great to see Screen sharing to a real Mac on the AppleTV, better still seeing as the device could handle some of the User space work and interface processor sharing so two or more users could be on the same computer at the same time.
But not sure WWDC is the right place for that sort of announcement.
Mac Pro and Monitors is the sort of hardware I'd expect to see at WWDC. I wonder with Samsung doing a lot in the 3d TV market. What if Part of Apples Deal a while back to help with product transition was to get first dibs on 3D monitor panels as an option for the ADCs. That would be something that would require Developer involvement even if it's added to Snow Leopard.
Why? It's been announced @ WWDC for...how long now? (at least the last 2 that I know of)
