Yea the "Apple's OS X: a real, UNIX-based operating system" thing is just another example of Apple co opting yet another meme for its own market plan. With the throng of fanboys who make them the new MS its no wonder the sheeple choral is up in volume of late.

Now as to the open handset stuff...yea cool..Show me

When i have one in my hands and when it also uses Open Social stuff I will be happy.

Do not get e wrong, happy happy and the double joys for the path they are taking, lets just hope they are actually taking it though and not it being just another long walk up Rock Candy Marketing Mountain...Charlie Charlie we are going to get an open phone Charlie...some with us Charlie...

Lets face it , this is the age where people still believe in WiMax:)-

Apple has a long history of doing crap like this all the way from looking to legislate away the use of trash can icons by other GUIS to killing off the 3rd part mac hardware market when Jobs took the company back.

One can only hope the iLifestyle zombies will start asking "Why?" rather then shelling out iDollars on new locked down devices or spending iHours working on hacks to work around the damage.

For the poster with a Creative Zen...Amarok works great with my trusty old Zen 30gb. Amarok is a great app for that and for use with my kid's iPods (which ever one she has not broke this week) as well as cool add on scripts to do remote playlist fun. Amarok...open free and takin names...support that rather than the locked down crud..yea yea im rambling on ...
