2. Jobs acknowledged that Rosetta was based in part on technology developed by Transitive of Manchester, England, which has a novel approach to making it possible to run programs on disparate kinds of computers.
3. One result was the terrible Darfur famine of 1'84 and 1'85, which de Waal earlier made the subject of a powerful case study, Famine That Kills.[1] That book has been reissued with a new preface because of the interest in Darfur, and it makes the point that, in places like Sudan, "to starve is transitive; it is something people do to each other." The Darfur famine was the result not just of drought, but also of reckless mismanagement and indifference in the Sudanese government.
