HP to Launch Music Service, Player In 2004
securitas writes "HPShopping.com CEO Peter Appl told Reuters that HP will launch its own branded online music service and a portable MP3 / digital music player in 2004. Appl (the CEO) said that the newcomers would compete with Apple (the company's) music products such as the iTunes music store and iPod music player, among others. HP expects its store to be a branded version of an existing service. Appl also said that the launch will take place at the 2004 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in January. Compaq sold its own line of digital music players, now discontinued, before its merger with HP. Mirrors of the Reuters story at CNN and Boston.com. A quick check shows that HPMusic.com resolves to an
'HP customer care local language selection' technical support page, and the domain has been registered since 1999."
Part Time College Accountants! Get one for $8.00 an hour!
Need a bookkeeper?
Contract one for $8.00 an hour, this includes benefits and overhead.
We have four bookkeepers available, who will do all or part of your
daily work from their own location. These people are college
graduates with small business accounting experience and they are
ready to work for you.
With today's technology you can move your bookkeeping out of your
office and still maintain 100% control. Only you can...
Approve invoices
Determine payments
Disperse money
You'll get accurate bookkeeping done overnight with no employee hassles!
The part I like the best is that I can see exactly where my business any
time day or night, by just clicking on the QuickBooks or Peachtree icon
on my desktop computer. It's that simple.
For the past decade the World Bank has been training accountants in low
wage countries with much success. We have tested, trained and hired some
of these people to work for businesses that have a tough time finding and
keeping good bookkeepers. I use one of the off site employees to do my
own accounts payable work. That alone removed enough work from my office
that my wife could quit doing book work. (Which she hated doing by the way)
Of course your big questions are: How do I ask questions, handle paper
flow and quality control? We are doing this for several dozen small
businesses currently, and have a track record of 100% success.
If you would like to know more, Click Here Now and we'll send you an
invitation to our free teleconference on Thursday with all the details.
Thank you!
When you are logged in,
Please *log out* AND use another browser before making your AC comments.
Your UID is being tracked, it's not Anonymous. Lots of people post lots of things to Slashdot as AC only because they believe it is really anonymous - it isn't. They hunt "trolls" (non-karma whores and non-group thinking bots) down.
This is true. I used to be a bit more freestyle and witty AC and be a nice guy logged in [basically a karma whore]. After a short while, I could no longer moderate. Slashdot does brand AC posts with IP and then map them back to users. They lie about AC, AC doesn't exist if you re-use ip addresses.
Big brother is watching. So while I might be a "troll" a lot of the AC things I said were to protect myself from Slash-bot groupthink. They punished me for voicing my opinion freestyle.
They also revoke moderation FOREVER - $rtbl it is called, for any moderations of any post that have been secretly flagged annoying [Slashcode has hidden flags viewable by editors]. If you *EVER* mod up something an editor secretly marked annoying you NEVER moderate again, ever - ever even if your karma is capped.
Also, Slashdot uses the friends system to track "trolls." Mark a troll you find funny as a friend *bang* $rtbl never to moderate ever again. My real account had many many good friends who had good karma, and a few funny trolls later, no more moderation for that account. Again, Slashdot is spying on its users to make the people who find certain things funny uneligible to moderate. You will never moderate again if you are a friend of a "foe or freak" of an editor.
So AC is a scam here. Hitler-Malda screws AC posts in the ass. So now all you can do is go 100% AC, or , as they expect you to, KARMA WHORE. And it is so lame and unfair and probably illegal as they lie about anonymity.
Protect yourself. Try and use proxies or a super good second browser with proxies that you never log into such as Opera (which makes it very easy to delete all private data). Thank you.

Not that exciting... slow news day Cowboy?
this guy's story is true. its important to stress how vital it is to protect yourself while online from data harvesting.
at this point, the cookies slashdot sets should be cleaned up by Ad-AWARE as spyware. these guys log IPs, track friends, remove good users from moderator pools for simply disagreeing. its terrible.
this information is easy to verify if you build up 2 or 3 karma whore accounts and then float around on a few shells.
this post got moderated almost instantly. this proves beyond a doubt that this srikes a nerve with the editors.
there is no other place to post public service announcements or public complains against slashdot, so this is not OFFTOPIC. This is not a troll, or flamebait, or overrated, or redundant.
you want to expose anonymous like ashcroft wants reporters to expose sources and like hitler did bashing down door to door WW2 style.
you are a FUCKING fascist. you want to ostracize and discredit those who dont think like you.
nice. you want to further impose IMPERIAL RULE here.
he's smoking teh mean cock!!
See for yourself. Stop trolling.
I produce electronic music and write little games. Have a look.
Old hp motto: "Invent"
New hp motto: "Merge, lay off, go out of business"
Lawyers, MBA's, RIAA? A jedi fears not these things!
OK, can any editors confirm or deny this? I'm being serious here. If this is true, would an editor please e-mail me at my Slashdot-registered address? Right now I'm logged in and I've checked the "Post Anonymously" box. Not trolling here, I'd really like to know.
This proves nothing. you assume an unaltered slashcode is being used here. it isnt.
explain how then someone gets $rtbl ? hrm? how is it that someone loses moderation forever.
you explain that.
and you stop trolling and start looking out for the public interest here.
What do you think?

by the way, if they bitchslap this thread, you will forever lose moderation just for commenting.
this is a FACT and has been chrnonicled several times before.
This isn't exactly news. This has been going on for as long as I can remember (December of 1998). I don't think /. ever claimed to be a fair and balanced forum anyway so there isn't any reason to complain. /. is run like a banana republic with CmdrTaco as dictator. What he says goes and that's the way it's always been and always will be. If you don't like it just stop posting here because he's made it pretty clear that he doesn't give a shit what you think of the way he runs the site.
So I was fucking her doggy style and decide to pull a 'Houdini'. Right before I cum, I made noises like I had just shot my load, although it was still about 10 seconds away. So she freaks the fuck out and whirls around to check my dick, and is like "ohh my god you didn't just cum in me, did.."
Right then I shot my load right in her face mid-sentence. Then I slapped her in the face *hard* and wiped the cum on my hand off on her hair. I start laughing and she loses it. She starts blubbering and whining "I love you so much, and you treat me like shit. what is wrong wiht you?" I quickly lose patience, and grab all her shit and toss it in the hallway (but not before I take the weed out of her pocket). "Get the fuck out of here you dumb cunt" She runs out the door with tears and cum streaming down her face. I laugh and laugh and she is banging on the door. I light up her weed and can still hear her wimpering in the hallway. She finally left and I hope that cunt doesn't bother me anymore, she has a scar on her breast from getting something removed and that was a real turnoff.
Damn, its good to be King!

Slashdot editors:
Just don't buy any shit from Slashdot or OSDN or whatever. I certainly don't and never will. I just troll the shit out of the place. /. is a joke, always has been so who cares?
yes, but when does it get to the point where is public outcry against decieving thousands of people about being anonymous. they complain about ashcroft and RIAA and all that but they could be subpeona-ed to disclose information about YOU. this is disgusting. they expose the WHOLE COMMUNITY to fascists by loggin us as ACs.
THIS IS THE DEATH OF FREE THINKING.
Yeah but what laws have they broken? If Taco decided to add a function that randomly adds 1 out of every 100 users $RTBL he's well within his rights to do so. It's his site and he can do whatever he wants. He could decide to add 20 pop-up windows with dancing monkeys and run the site into the ground if he wanted to. You don't have a right to get mod points or post here. Is this worth wasting time over? I'm assuming that anyone who cares that /. editors tell lies already figured that out for themselves a long time ago.
does the NY Times have the right to post non-truths? no. this place, while clearly inferior journalistically, should be held accountable at least to the degree of a tabloid newspaper.
but get this. you can read a tabloid newspaper without the newspaper logging that you are doing it and then possibly being a party to prividing your private information to law enforcement.
when is the slashdotting public going to realize when have raised beings on our shoulders by soliciting this site and they shit and piss on us from up there.
you realize there is a malformed href in your front page that redirects to goatse.cx?
I've actually MET IN PERSON Charles Bronfman. His daddy got rich bootleggin booze during prohibition. With all the illegal cash daddy bronfman made he started Seagram. He is now worth 2.2bn. And when you meet him in person, he i such a trust baby and very annoying.
hahahaa. this thread was bitchslapped. just like the parent said.
i love how the editors cant explain themselves, they just bitchslap threads.
welcome to the RTBL anyone who posted here or ayone who just clicked ANONYMOUS when you posted
