So Sony is taking people to court for that now? I thought they had the long arm of the MAFIAA to do that for them. After all, they are paid the big bucks for shit like that.
If I were to listen to my music only on my iPod or with my small computer speakers, why would I care if it's lossy or not? I can't tell the difference with such small speakers? So why wouldn't I appreciate Amazon saving me the trouble of making my music compatible with the music players I already use?
Some of the proprietary code that I've seen is like a beater car: -Held together with duct tape and bondo -Only works by the hand of God -Looking at it is an example of several works in progress from several different people
Yes. Companies that do that have a right to be embarrassed.
Then again, I've seen the other side of the spectrum where the proprietary code is "SOOPER" efficient and works better than any out of the box solution. Isn't that why you do things in-house to begin with?
Exactly how is this trolling? I got a new video card yesterday and it boosted my UEI from 1 to 2. Imagine my disappointment. I learned my lesson: say something remotely negative about Vista on/. and get down modded.
Flooz.com was started by former iVillage co-founder Ted Levitan, and also notably used Whoopi Goldberg in a series of TV commercials before the company collapsed, announcing their closing on August 26, 2001.
Upon closing, all unused flooz credits became worthless. Over its history, flooz.com reportedly went through between $35 to $50 million in venture capital money. Someone should add "Since the flooz to dollars conversion was 1-0$, this was the day that the internet stock market plunged to its lowest level in years. It still has yet to rebound."

Oh yeah... iPhone Beowulf Cluster here I come!
How is this trolling when it's true? In the history of the internet, the adult film industry has been the front-runners... no matter what it is.
Did SCO every try to collect a paycheck off of the use of Unix in the iPhone?
I didn't mean "updates" as in patches. I meant version updates.

As with anything with the internet, porn sites have been doing this for years. Yet another thing we owe a debt of thanks to the adult film industry.
Did anyone else notice the RJ45 jack on the back? What's that for? Built-in Tivo perhaps?

Just wondering, did any of those companies have any problems with corporate espionage? If not, they're damn lucky.

Because Myanmar is right in there with Vietnam.
Hmmm This might mod my Vista User Experience Index up to 3.0
That's a feature that comes standard on any showroom model shark.
Yeah? How does WoW play on your C64?
I could imagine using this as an OS drive. No sooner do you let your finger off the power button than the login screen appears.
Really all the math done in all the posts is speculative shite at best. There's no other option than make a joke about it.
The answer is easier than that! 100% - 3.5% = 96.5%!
Where did that 24.5% come from?
Obligatory: "It's 'fried rice' you plick!"
Can't they just buy the users' information?
