Or, do one better and join Gamefly. From $13.95/month for unlimited rentals, and you can keep them as long or as short as you'd like. Not having to actually drive anywhere is nice, too:)
I've been insanely happy with their service. I used to buy a couple games a month, but now I'm down to one every few months just because few games will actually grab me enough for me to want to buy them.
I don't know ANYONE that uses MSN more than AIM. All the people I know who use MSN also have an AIM name, and there are quite a few people (myself included) who only use AIM and don't bother with MSN.
Lies! Clearly the only ringtone ever needed is the song from level one of Super Mario 2. I have yet to hear anyone say anything but "That is AWESOME" when they hear it.
NEWSFLASH TO RIAA: People are paying for MP3s right now because they are affordable. If you try to raise the prices, you'll end up making LESS money since more people will say to themselves, "Wait, why am I paying for this? $0.99 was no big deal, but now... especially when I can download them for free elsewhere..."
Er, actually a lot of the time you can find an exact download of the DVD (sometimes a pre-release leak, sometimes a screener leak), minus the special features and extra language tracks, so it will fit on a 4.7GB DVD-R. I'd say the exact video track off the DVD would be considered pretty high-quality.
Make absolutely sure that any software these schools really want to run either has a native Linux version, a practically-idential Linux version, or will run flawlessly under WINE. If the schools can't use the software they want to, it'll leave quite a bad taste in their mouths about Linux.
This raises the question, though, about whether we should try to keep making more oil, or whether we should put all this effort forth into cleaner energies.
The article IS by "Mobile PC Magazine", so they're a bit biased. The whole thing is full of crap, the "RONCO INSIDE-THE-SHELL EGG SCRAMBLER" beat out the "COLUMBIA GRAPHOPHONE DICTAPHONE", too.
I think the thing that really kills TiVO isn't necessarily the advertising or whatnot, it's the fact that cable/sattelite companies can charge only $5 or $10 a month for DVR, with no equipment to buy. There's really no way for TiVO to compete.

Apple among Sony, Matsushita, Dell, HP and Walt Disney
For those of you that don't recognize the name "Matsushita", they're probably known to you as Panasonic.
They give you a 20 cent bonus when you sign up! Oooh baby!
Yeah, but not everyone can do that. If you writing something very trouble-free and intuitive, you're not likely to get much support income.
They also say that CDs store things magnetically. This source is somewhat questionable.
Surely there must be someone else they can sue.
From what I hear, one researcher found something, but another killed him and then ran off with it.
If only they'd fix Acrobat Reader...
There, I fixed your sentence for you. Acrobat drives me insane.
It probably won't be a problem, for two reasons:
Anything that encourages use of RealPlayer is a problem. Eeeeew.

According to this new article, the base price of a song is 65 cents. I seem to remember it higher as well, though.

People are generally impatient. If the box takes 10 minutes to encode one MP3, nobody will want it.
Or, if they're rounding, is it a tibibit?
Those math freaks sure are a bunch of GIMPS.
I thought that was rule number 12? Rule number 13 is "Any large organization is always out to get you."
I didn't see it on the tv...because....I don't have a TV ..in addition..
Reminded me of this.

With any browser they're not a problem.

Actually, I've seen just as many great deals on Seagate drives as I have on WD or Maxtor. There seems to be at least one a week.
