Probably not... but I figured that was the easiest way to ensure those unfamiliar with the commandline wouldn't wind up in the middle of a 'less' pager and not know how to get out. ;)

Indeed. I realize this likely predates OS X entirely, but... you're right: casual audience and.. TMO's Mac focus. But yep, as many here have pointed out, it's certainly not limited to the Mac.

Interesting report from Intel came out recently which is also (sparsely) corroborated by Apple's FAQ entry on the subject. Very interesting... and surprising. You'd think that perhaps someone like the FCC would have rules in place to keep this kind of thing from happening!

Well said, John. I don't blame you for not doing the radio interview that night. It hit me a lot harder than I expected, as well. I realized the stuff that I'd used since I was about 10 years old was all influenced or even created by him. But mostly I was sad for him and his family -- here he had worked so hard for everyone else's benefit all his life, and never got to fully focus on or enjoy his family life. Sad.

It's definitely interesting to me that some developers call people who purchase their app through the App Store "customers" when, in reality, they have NO way of knowing who these people are, contacting them outside the app, or really doing anything with them at all. That, to me, does not a customer make.

:) Nice catch. I think John already edited that one out. ;)
