Read the article linked in the blurb. Basically, the issue was solved within hours, and the only users significantly affected were those not connected to the internet, and those who can't remember their password. Once they connect to the internet, or reset their password, problem = solved. I'm no Apple supporter, but this is a non-issue.
..."Three Ways Employees Can Cause Problems for a Company"? Attacking leadership, or being a flake or a jerk are not in any way attached to intelligence. And frankly there are many more ways that smart or non-smart employees can be a problem for a company (being a thief comes to mind...).
Even if nobody's pirating music from your neighborhood band, that says little about the overall effect of music piracy. 150,000 downloads in 4 years? That microcosm can hardly speak to the vast wealth of popular books sold every minute on this planet. And e-readers are only now starting to become popular, so the number of illegal downloads is bound to explode, as it did when mp3 players got big (Winamp, etc). Oh, to be in college now! Free music, free textbooks, and a political movement worth following...
If they outlawed the word Marijuana, we'd just start using other words for it...HAH!
If a guy named Dick outlawed words associated with sex, we'd come up with other ways subvert that Dick.
If we outlawed these nasty terrorism words, they'd just come up with new ones. And their new ones might not be so easily recognizable...
This concept is stupid, and everyone with any small bit of sense knows it. That's why I doubt it will even float in Europe, where they talk about sex and legalize drugs and fight terrorism with words more than bombs!
Star Wars left my consciousness for about 5 minutes when this post came around. Thanks George Lucas for keeping me plugged in to your fake world for the rest of your life (and hopefully beyond if your production company has anything to say about it). If we start a rumor that Start Wars is just an incestuous mega-cult akin to Scientology, do you think we can convert any of the believers? Or will it just make their resolve stronger...
Either way, you can't win. When's the next Star Wars pez dispenser due for release? Probably around the time of the 6 1/2 year anniversary of the last day of pre-production on "Clone Wars"...
Where can I get a bug like that? It's kind of like the old "Boss Key" from Liesure Suit Larry...serves a great purpose, creating simultaneously lower productivity with job satisfaction
They short the consoles because they don't have a game selection to keep customers happy yet. Releases are getting pushed back. There's nothing really worth buying, so you play sports over and over and over and....
In the mean time, if people are forced to wait until June to get a box, then they'll be able to get Mario Party, Smash Brothers, Zelda...y'know, the franchise games. So they keep the customer happy in the long run by not giving them a system with only weak game choices... Make 'em wait and play tennis once or twice on their lucky friend's machine in the mean time.

4 million "women"? Hahahahaha. Good luck, boys!
I stand corrected. It's a huge issue b/c you had to login. How difficult this must have been for you...

I agree completely...great post!

Did they get Bill Clinton's private photos? Wouldn't that be a collection!
is still a bomb.

Let me field this one...
The fans.
I wouldn't have said anything if this hadn't passed for news...

Right on... I found my inner anarchist at college radio... guess there's more than one way to skin a cat

Just a theory without any basis in fact.
And what about raising hell? Or learing to thwart society? Where does that fall?
