When Apple switched to Intel, the first MacBook Pro machines had thermal issues due to too much paste. It seems Apple addressed this issue in manufacture in later models, but it has reappeared in the 2011.
I have had to remove several viruses lately. It wasn't by "drive-by web attack", it happened by people getting phone calls or letters through the post, some were even sent CDs and told to install the "AV software". Quite odd, but I have fixed several PCs where people have followed the 'advice' given to them.
I know I have several others to fix because they received phone calls pretending to be their ISP for example.
Mmm, reminds me of the prototype card for Acorn computers that had 32, 600MHz ARM processors. They never released an estimated price though. This was back in the early year 2000's so would have been incredibly expensive. Cortex A9's are now in mass production, not in the hundreds/low thousands that Acorn used to make, so might be cheaper than you actually think.
You go to a retail store and park your car outside, and while you are in the store, the retail store goes and places a GPS tracker to the underside of your car. You are unaware of this tracker, and the retail store starts tracking your exact movements. They want to know which competitors you visit, for how long and how frequently, they may also find you go to a gym every day, or figure out where you work. To remove the tracker, you will have to look under your car and remove it.
Would you say that this unknown tracker by a brick and mortar store is acceptable?
The EU want web sites to ask you explicitly before they can track you. A little like the analogy above asking you when you arrive at the store if they can stick the tracker under your car.
I wasted 10 minutes of my day playing this yesterday. I then looked at others who were playing Farmville, made it feel like they were doing something productive for a change.

Mine was a BBC Micro back in the 1980's. Pretty much stuck with Acorn Computers until 2000/2001. Acorn was owned by ARM, hence the older acronym "Acorn RISC Machines", they now use "Advanced".
I was editing articles on the topic of acoustics. The articles that were written were totally wrong, I work in acoustics so I have the right credentials. Arguments started, they sourced their information from other web site, ironically some of them stated their source was wikipedia.
The deletionists didn't just edit or revert back to previous version, they deleted the edits forever.
I now stay well clear of the site, I know plenty of others who do too.
Scenario 1: Johnny and Mark gets into a fight after school. 1970 - Crowd gathers. Johnny wins. Johnny and Mark shake hands and end up best mates for life. 2010 - Police called, arrests Johnny and Marko. Charge them with assault, both expelled even though Mark started it. Both children go to anger management programs for 3 months. School board hold meeting to implement bullying prevention programs
Scenario 2: Robbie won't Keep still in class, disrupts other students. 1970 - Robbie sent to office and given 6 of the best by the headmasterl, Returns to class, sits stil and does not disrupt class again. 2010 - Robbie given huge doses of Ritalin. Becomes a zombie. Tested for ADD. Robbie's parents get fortnightly disability payments and school gets extra funding from state because Robbie has a disability.

It's slashdot's new policy in aid of those who are under AT&T's new caps.
Perhaps you need one of these?
Mod parent up.
I was thinking the same. Article to excessive thermal paste on Slahdot: http://apple.slashdot.org/story/11/02/28/233215/New-MacBook-Pro-Teardown-Reveals-Shoddy-Assembly

How about accelerated H264 then? It took Apple a couple of years to release that in an SDK.

Visa offer a service. They have to make money, from for example, off debit cards.
2%, still cheaper than handling physical money.
Just send a contact via bluetooth, or if you have an iPhone via e-mail or bump. I notice a lot of Japanese use infrared.
broadband ISPs COULD charge you per character typed but they don't and probably wont.
You mean, like SMS?
A charge per 140 characters.

Chernobyl killing 4,000 people, 60,000 with thyroid cancer, 600,000 others effected in some other way.
NHK News transmits in the UK. Most other western countries transmit it too.
These days most coal power stations only give out CO2, water and heat, and some even have CO2 capture and storage.
Pure slashvertisement at its best. Really, it is!
I think we need a car analogy before we start.

Come to the UK. Books are one of the only things where there is zero VAT, others being children's clothing and some foods.
