Computing on the run.
These would be perfect for emergencies.

Special cash-back discount code
Well, what's illegal is deceptive business practices.
If it weren't for illegal and deceptive business practices, they wouldn't have any business practices at all.
They claim to be offering a cash back if you utilize Bing, which implies a discount, where in fact, they are charging a higher price upfront to Bing users and creating a deceptive impression that the cash back is providing a discount of their normal price.
Like any discount programme, they throw barriers to reduce the number of people they have to reimburse. The upside is that if you use the special discount code you get to choose the amount of cash reimbursed.

Re:Bus ReportI'm sure there will be plenty of blame to go around - but if the city had been evacuated a lot of the suffering and death would have been avoided.
According to the Louisiana governor: "Blanco said President George W. Bush called and personally appealed for a mandatory evacuation for the low-lying city, which is prone to flooding."
But the Mayor had to sleep on it on start the evacuation the next morning:

In an interview on Eyewitness News, Nagin said his Saturday night dinner was interrupted by an urgent call from Governor Kathleen Blanco who asked Nagin to call the Hurricane Center.
Nagin said the Hurricane Center Chief told the mayor that if it was possible at all, he should order an evacuation due to winds that could reach 145 miles per hour sustained and 170 mile per hour gusts.
Nagin said he would consider ordering evacuations by Sunday morning and may employ buses and trains to help get people out of the city.
The mandatory evacuation was ordered Sunday morning at 10 AM - over 14 hours after the president, governor, and the chief of the Hurricane center had requested it.

Re:Half-and-half"In fairness, apple contributes quite a bit back into the open source community. khtml is a good example"
Hang on, I seem to remember using HTML before "open source apple" was even invented (or at least, before they were ever involved in BSD)
"KHTML is the HTML layout engine developed by the KDE project." - Wikipedia
According to Apple, they received 140,000 lines of code, which COCOMO says is worth $5 million. In return for that, Wikipedia reports that their patches have been very difficult to integrate with the main project.
"Apple worked secretly on their version of KHTML for a year before making their fork public. Apple also tends to submit their changes in large patches that incorporate a great number of changes, in some cases leaving code to do with future feature additions barely documented, making it difficult for the KDE developers to sort through and incorporate the changes"

Re:Wow
They're not going to use the money to SUE someone for buying a GM.
Hopefully not, but GM once sued Ford's customers for buying Model Ts. OK, it wasn't actually GM yet, but some of the manufacturers in 1903 Seldon consortium later became GM. -
Re:A week, huh?
Okay, so I don't have access to MIT or their chips, will this do?
