I saw that at Barnes and Noble yesterday and REALLY wanted to pick it up, but I had promised myself was there only for xmas shopping:P I may have to grab that next time I'm there.

Has anyone had problems with updating 10.2.8? i can't confirm it, but I've read some comment at versiontracker.com that say after running the update kernel panics started happening. One even claims he had to reinstall his system.
I have been reluctant to install the updates because of this. Has anyone else heard/had this problem?
Well, in a sense I am joking. Oscars are usually handed out to over-hyped marketing ploy movies, but I agree 100% that Dead Alive was good, Bad Tase was not as good, but still classic PJ (: I haven't seen any of his other stuff yet, but I most certainly intend to:D
Yes, and as with the use of a trojan horse as a virus or at Troy the attack was a suprise. In this case, Steve Jobs and Apple openly say that the reason for iTMS is to sell iPods.
A virus-like program that pretends to be something else in order to get into the system.
From _The Iliad_, by famous dead poet Homer, when the Ithacans gained victory by hiding in a huge wood horse so they could get into Troy.
Please explain the accuracy (or, inaccuracy I should say) of the "iTMS = trojan" analogy, it's the second time I've seen it today. Apple is using a product to help the sales of another product. End of story.
Miles Kimball is a fairly large catalogue company based here. I work as an intern in the IT department and was rather surprised when I first discovered that pretty much every machine in the company was running W2k or older. A very large bulk is running Win98 and this is mainly because a lot of the old old applications used for shipping, receiving, label printing, etc would only run on the older machines. Although, this is all changing as we are rolling out all new (Dell) systems with XP. And it's been quite a hassle tracking down the proper patches and updates to get certain old software running.
Kind of off-topic, but another interesting point about the rollouts is that half of them seem to come with Sun Java and another half Microsoft VM. This has turned into a HUGE hassle as the Miles' main accounting and employee tracking software only works with MSVM. Fun stuff I tell ya:\
What's more Apple gives all of this money they collect to the music industry
News flash: When you buy at the mall, the arist gets just as much, if not less of a percentage. At least Apple tells you the business model and where money guys, I'd like to see the RIAA make that information easily accessible.
Apple is doing it's best to try to wake the RIAA up to the new age, and some back scracthing will have to take place before any proress is made.
If you want a better deal, buy indie. Goto a show and hand your hard earned dollars directly to the hard working artitsts doing what they love. Cut out the middle man.
In case anyone is wondering, this doesn't appear to affect IE on mac. When I click the test exploit link on http://www.zapthedingbat.com/security/ex01/vun1.ht m it simply turns into http://www.microsoft.com%01@zapthedingbat.com/secu rity/ex01/vun2.htm
I don't see why everyone is getting in an uproar over this. if some people think DDoSing is a way to fight back, let um. It's not like it going it's help SCO defend itself. I personally think it's dumb, but that's no reason to go around saying it's going to "put a bad face on the community." Let SCO and the media twist it however they went, it has nothing at all to do with the allegations and legal issues at hand.
Now, what were you saying about my credibility vs. Jobs?
Nothing, actually. I questioned why anyone should believe either of you. You have presented sources, and I thank you for it. No reason to be rude about it bud (:
That's rather irrelevant. If you don't trust/. why do you bother using it at all? And since you do but seem to dislike it so much, why do you question its standards? And, of course, why trust any online store more than any other? Feel free the void the last question if you do a solid week of background checking before making any online purchases.
There is no reason for/. not to tie posts as Anonymous Coward to accounts. The poster is still "anonymous" to those reading the post. And just because they are tied to accounts does mean they are tied directly to posts that/. developers can see. For all you know the post is simply checked when submitted and then accredited to the account, but may very well not be recorded beyond that.
Just because Apple only has X market share doesn't mean Y number of people have to like it. In fact the poll was not even a question of wheter or not a person liked or used a machine, it was about the impact it had.

Intresting. I use NAV auto-protect as well. I'll do that and try the updates. Thanks for the info (:

Ummm....yea, the economy is absolutely BEAUTIFUL right now and finding a job is incredibly SIMPLE.
No offense, but just because youre unaware of the current state of the economy and IT, doesn't mean you can belittle the poster.
While it's a nice step, it's no replacement for an official Microsoft patch.
:\
Yea, it doesn't fix the problem AND break something else.

No kidding, where were the Oscars when Bad Taste and Braindead were released! (:

The only thing you have to sacrafice, is your dignity.
Unfortunately, when OSX becomes popular enough
:D
Lucky for us Mac users, that will never happen
Whoa. I thought Dead Alive was Jackson's, but I checked his filmography and didn't know it was actually called Braindead. Weird.
I can't wait for the Peter Jackson collection.
It will include the LOTR trilogy, and Peter Jackson's greatest film, Bad Taste!

i'm not talking about the store employees. i'm talking about the children in third world countires in sweatshops.
