Sure this might annoy the spammers, but it's also going to cause problems for anyone unfortunate enough to be sharing a network/webhost/isp with a spammer. And what happens when someone sends spam appearing to be from a competitors site, in order for them to be attacked?
Online backups are a great idea, but not always feasible. If all you've got is (relatively) tiny word/excel documents to backup then you're fine. But if you're editing huge video files for example, and changing them each day, then you need huge bandwidth to keep backing up the modified file every day, and you'll probably also be paying a premium to store all the incrementals of those huge files.
It might be old fashioned but tape really is pretty cheap per GB.
If the 75% is such a big deal, and the 8% not so hot,
8% isn't that hot. You could probably do that just from expansion of the market overall without making any real gains. Increasing revenues by 75% though, is definitely "hot".

In the last year Apple has gone from 3.7% to 4.5% marketshare. Impressive, but even at that pace there's a long way to go to even 10% marketshare.
What'll be interesting is if at some point network effects kick in and Apple's marketshare really takes off. What marketshare do you need to get to before people stop worrying that "no one else has a mac"? Once Apple is past that things will get interesting!
From the comments above it looks like this doesn't really do what it say, but just as well. It'd take spammers/porn site webmasters about 2 seconds to have us opening 500 windows with a single misplaced click.
It's hard to stomach having to shoot a zombie in the head the same number of times as in the body (six rounds from a pistol, thanks for asking) to dispatch it
And this is based on your real world experience with Zombie's I presume?
There's some real design speak going on here - This is a fine piece of research--thoughtfully designed, deeply instrumented, and genuinely interesting in asking and answering important questions.
We helped them beat Apple to market on a mini-hard-drive player by a year with the Nitrus.
The Nitrus????? huh? has anyone else heard of that before? No good having a great product if no one knows about it. And then there's sony:In March, we introduced nine flash-based players to the Network Walkman lineup, which includes last year's 20-gigabyte HD3.
Nine flash-based players? How are you going to get a strong message out about nine different players?
The most recent IDC data ranks Samsung as the world's number one producer of flash chips
So of course "Hwang Chang-Gyu, president and CEO of Samsung's semiconductor business" wants his company's technology to take over from hard drives. That's very different to Apple saying it will happen.
Anyone who thinks the switch to Intel is all about cheaper components has surely lost their mind...
Good for Apple Germany & Belgium

Dutch Pass iPod Tax

· Score: 0, Redundant
Um, has the dutch government not noticed the proximity of the rest of Europe to its borders? That much tax could easily fund a trip across the border to purchase an iPod without the tax.
Look for iPod sales to increase in Germany and Belgium, and drop in Holland.

That's because market share has nothing to do with "usage share". Macs tend to be kept in use longer for example.

8 percent is nice and all, but when Apple's just announced a 75% increase in revenue does it even rate a mention?
You mean, like 99% of every other non-reference book out there?
I know plenty of people who Skype with dial up and have no problems.

They speculate that the new iBooks might have a widescreen display.
Well it'd be about time. But the speculation about that is hardly a new story.
It's coming on the 19th of October

If you believe this is actually going to happen you can you can try and pick the release date yourself!
That'd be longhorn then.

With all the features dropped recently, can't I just participate in the beta with my copy of XP?
The item earning this fine praise - a showerhead!
Video on demand over ip, here we come.
2nd sounds pretty good, till you realise Apple has about 80% market share, so second place is what, 10% market share?

Skype have definitely got something going on, everything you read about Skype is positive. Everything you read about their compeitors is terrible!
Surely Nikon aren't going to sue, they can't possibly expect to sell their top of the line camera if it's not fully supported by photoshop.
