I've had a _very_ notible temperature change in my old apartment when both my friend and I ran our Macbook Pros. Them's hot laptops. Makes you wonder what kind of damage they do to the little friend in your pants.
10.5 was such a bitch for me and my Macbook Pro.
Keyboard issues, slow loading, not waking from sleep, windows disappearing.
God, it was my first Mac experience and I was thrilled for the month up to the Leopard release. They've since fixed the issues... but I still feel foolish for rushing out for the new OS and now it's being updated already.
I really like how their computers and electronics work (happy owner of iPod and upgrading to iPod 3g) but I really felt dicked over with my first experience.
But I would buy their product again. Even with the issues which slowed my system down considerably for a month or two, when it's working right it's a beautiful thing.
Well, honestly I'm sure he's told people the reason why his life left him, but why would he have to feel obligations to tell the internet too? Maybe if you bump up that auction price you can buy that piece of information too?
I'll agree with this. How much do we really know about how our minds work? Sure, we have an idea of our emotions... but how exactly do they trigger. Plus, when you have a mixture of these emotions it becomes a huge challenge to recreate human behavior within a digital brain.
When you get enough campaign commercials using the always hot topic of terrorism as a way to scare the population and encouraging the use of these twitter lists for terror level alert warnings; you will see an increase in users.
I've never used twitter, myself, however I can imagine that if it is an easy sign up with minimum forms and messages sent directly to however you want them... it seems pretty user friendly which would be perfect for the technologically inept voters out there.
Plus, those people who sign up will be so impressed with how they learned a new technological feature that they will tell their friends to brag. Those friends may then want to keep up with the Jones's and will sign up for themselves. Repete steps as needed then you will find a much larger user base.
Viral marketing at it's best for this website, in my opinion. What better way to get your product out there than having the candidates the whole world is listening to push your product?
But without such informative information such as "Funnest Friend" and "Best Drinker", how will I know which high school friends I should devote my time too?
In 60 years we've gone from computers the size of a room to a laptop computers thin enough to fit in an interoffice envelope. Where will we be in another 60 years, or even ten for that matter? It's somewhat scary that we've created a technology that advances much quicker than ourselves. It's just a matter of time before we are the number two species ( if you can call a computer a species ) walking the planet.
The kid can do all that... but wouldn't take the time to actually study and make an honest living?
Surely he didn't think this would go unnoticed. Maybe the prison system will teach him some common sense and to always keep a bottle of petrolium jelly on hand.
Working in a bank, I can tell you that Western Union is a serious problem when it comes to fraud and illegal activities. You would be amazed ( Well, probably not... ) at how many people fall victim to fraud by way of wire or Western Union. Plus, why would Western Union want to print on their forms a check box asking if it is for illegal purposes. Hell, I'm sure a very large portion of their transactions are... would bring some serious charges against them for knowingly helping the aid a fraudulent transaction. I can tell you that I would be in prison a long time if I did that within the walls of my bank.
These "lucky" people win an international lottery and then are instructed to wire, or Western Union, a large portion of a counterfiet check they are presented with. Of course, this wire is done before the poor person receives notice from their bank that the check is counterfiet and they just lost all the money they "won" in the lottery they never entered.
I've also worked a Western Union terminal, and I've met some of the weirdest folk there... a transaction for a relatively small amount (which if they were smart, it would be less than say $1,000) would go unnoticed by the clerk. Plus, if you were to speak to the person performnig the transaction... they simply wouldn't care. Most of them are supermarket clerks who are too distracted by that hot girl down isle 5, or the owners of small shops who are more interested in their commision then your poor luck.
Bottom line, as mentioned before, these scammers have runners collect the money for them and report back with the funds for a piece of the cash. They probably never even meet the head man. Of course, this is taking into consideration that the head guy thought this thru, but considering the strength of encription, they probably have.

Seriously, it's M$ promising the lowest compatability of a product to people who don't know any better and are expecting premier performance when upgrading to Vista..
Way to piss off your entire customer base.

Is the US government trying to connect with the catholic church and claim the Earth is flat?

Isn't that just a fancy way of saying "I'm Guilty"?
