Steve, you beat cancer. That right there entitles you to take some time off. On top of that, you beat the odds and had a cancer that was rare and treatable rather than terminal. And you have a new liver. I'm surprised you are doing as much as you are.
Go, take time off. Focus on your health. Come back to announce amazing apple products when you can.
Explain why facebook and goldman sachs are going to get away with their bypass of reporting this income to the SEC? With that sort of revenue, they should be playing by the rules like apple, google, and other companies are.
Ok, first, the story lines SUCKED. And they had access back to Earth. That was lame. And Eli is a terrible character acted by a terrible actor.......I so wished for him to just die......
The whole Civilian vs. Military thing in the beginning was stupid. And the whole "I lost the baby but the aliens took it"......really? Who writes this BS? It's like it was written by a 16 year old nerdy girl who's at an away camp missing her family and her female lover. Sorta like if the Twilight series author wrote SciFi (or SyFy).
Wait, so, Microsoft builds its whole business around old, unstable software......and this guy bitches about iTunes?
Honestly, iTunes is rock solid. It NEVER crashes. I can't think of a time when iTunes crashed on my Mac. Or if it ever did crash. Sure, it's getting a little bloated, but it still works great. The latest update is quite a bit faster it seems.
Sure, it would be nice to see iTunes be 64 bit, Coca on OS X so we could get it to be a little faster. And perhaps Ping isn't quite what everyone thought it would be.....but Apple has a great track record of fixing stuff. I think we won't see iTunes become completely Coca and 64 bit until Apple deems that PPC Macs are completely off the radar......I'd expect that in OS X 10.7 that we will see a new iTunes that is quite a bit different.
This is nothing new. This has been happening since the late 90s when I started playing shows. It can work if done right. I think the best way to do it is to have at least ONE real instrument and then have a synth doing the parts underneath.
In fact, the show I'm starting next week we have one violin viola and cello and someone playing a synth to fill up the section. Sounds ok.
Exactly. If you are going to have something like that, a Mac Mini or a Atom powered Linux box would be better. I built an Atom "server" and the thing is nearly silent, and just sips power. I can't imagine having a G5 sitting around for doing fileserving or putting linux on it unless power consumption, noise, heat, and speed are not an issue.
Bullshit. I am putting my hand on that spot and NOTHING HAPPENS. Problem? No, I don't see it. Maybe some people do, but it's not severe. Certainly doesn't happen to most everyone or there would be TONS of these phones being returned.
Ah RIM, it must hurt seeing your Phone subjected to the same sort of pain Apple has been having. Proof is in the video. Sure, it might not happen at all, but it does happen, and we have video proof of it. RIM and Nokia need to deal with it.
I for one haven't had an issue at all with my iPhone 4. It's been great.
I think the funniest and saddest thing is that Video FOX news likes to air of Nancy Pelosi saying to her people that she'd love to share what is in the bill but they need to pass it first.
That is exactly the problem in Government right now. These HUGE bills that no one knows what they contain.
This administration has been terrible. All this promise, and then failure. And now there is news that the voter intimidation case got dropped for political reasons? I mean, there the guy is, holding a baton.....seriously, WTF.
Using Gmail should not be allowed. Government officials need to have ALL their activities OPENED to us, the people, unless it is personal stuff. This stuff is NOT personal, it is skirting the law. I don't care if PREVIOUS administrations did it or not. I don't care. Obama promised to do things DIFFERENTLY and I see nothing but business as usual if not more of an orgy type atmosphere there since they have a hold on both houses as well right now.
Seriously? This guy has been so wrong on apple over the years that I think taking his opinion on apple or anything tech would be like believing exRaider Jamarcus Russell that he was doing well at QB.
seriously slashdot should have higher standards than Thurott
Good plan....except when the state or local governments fail to do it.....then what? Going to fine themselves?
It's a good idea in theory...except....enforcing it might be hard.
Look at californias hands free cell phone law. I can count, daily, two digit numbers of people who are not following it....and where is the enforcement???
Senator Specter is an excellent example of why we need term limits in D.C. This guy has been in the Senate for nearly 30 years. Since before Reagan was in Office. To keep is plush job, he looked at the poll numbers (they all do), and decided he needed to jump ship because he would lose the primary to his challenger.
He's almost 80. Why not retire and let the field be leveled for new people? Does he really think he's THAT important? Is he going to be THAT effective when he's 84/85?
I'm just fed up with all this. All of them. People who have been in the same position since before I was born (Joe Biden, I'm talking to YOU). I think they should be REQUIRED to leave office after 2 Senate terms (12 years).
But will this run Wordpress? I don't think so. And a USB drive hanging off it would draw a ton of power, and you wouldn't get things like SMART monitoring.
I'd like to get something to replace my antique Dual Pentium II 450 FreeBSD 4 server.....something around $100 that draws less power, but could do RAID mirroring and could run MYSQL, PHP5 and Apache 2
Slashdot Mirror
Microsoft PAID for this right?

Except that they are doing something with goldman which will allow allow public investing but not the transparency required by the SEC....so...

So much potential and it was squandered.
Why is that? Because they are allowing everyone to use it for free?
Ok, so we have mkv files, mp4....and now this? Why would I want to use it when mp4 is totally free and is pretty much the best and the standard?
Wait, so, Microsoft builds its whole business around old, unstable software......and this guy bitches about iTunes?

Plus......why didn't we see any iLife stuff????

I say we vote them ALL out and start over.

How is this flamebait? Seriously?
Here is just ONE example of Thurrott and how he has no creed.

Or Apple copying Microsoft?

Thurrott does not belong on Slashdot

Stupid....the law should apply to all

You know, they said no lobbyists.....yet......
Change and hope was just a slogan huh? Marketing? I don't see any change at all.......
You do know that, at least for Digg, you can disable it. I did. I hated it. Of course, Digg is not at all what it used to be. Which is a shame....

Now if they offered this in the SF Bay area and had static IPs I'd get it.
They were running the webserver on it so........it popped out of the wall.
But will this run Wordpress? I don't think so. And a USB drive hanging off it would draw a ton of power, and you wouldn't get things like SMART monitoring.

So has anyone sued Comcast or any other company yet for this? They should.
