FYI: the coffee was 50 degrees over the allowed limit. The woman suffered some serious burns and was hospitalized for a few days. McDonalds now serves their coffee at the correct temperature.
If everything on AppleInsider were true Disney would have bought Apple 10 times.
I saw a story on the Weekly World News that an alien tried to mate with a Harley, you should probably. And as far as rumors go I'd say AppleInsider is on par in terms of accuracy as the Weekly World News. (Maybe I'm exaggerating a bit, heh)
Of course, there are plenty of movies that don't fall into the definition of a "feel good" movie. "Feel good" movies are appealing to the masses since they manipulate the viewer into a reaction. SPR did this on both the pessimistic and optimitic sides. It documented the horrors of war (nazi killing the Jewish GI) but then paradoxically patted the allies on the back (this is the appealing part to nationalists). Personally, I don't find anything wrong with the part about depicting war a brutal. Appealing to the emotionals would serve that best. It's the pat on the back or leaving the the theater in tears of joy or pride that most of the people here have a problem with I'm guessing. For the movie to "stick" or have some long-term meaning it demands conscious involvement with the viewer and that is best accomplished by appealing to the reason of the viewer and forcing him or her to make a decision based upon what they have seen.
I'll bet no one came out of SPR debating about the ideas presented in the movie. Nazis, bad; allies, good would have been the concensus. Compare that with a movie like Full Metal Jacket or A Clockwork Orange. Does the welfare of society outweigh the freedom of an individual? Is one question I can think of presented in both movies. This isn't something I've ever seen in a Spielberg movie.
If Spielberg stays close to Kubrick's vision, doesn't do anything stupid like giving a girl a red coat or sticking the robot in Nazi Germany I think he'll pull it off.
Anyway, the short answer to that last question: anything Kubrick made. Of course the definitions I used were my own. But the viewer needs to have some involvement with their own humanity and that is something that just cannot be accomplished with a purely manipulitve film.
The issue here is whether or not the consumer will buy a computer thinking they've purchased an iMac. Apple isn't going to sue a mouse maker for using translucent plastic in a mouse because it isn't possible for the consumer to mistake it for an iMac and also because this doesn't strip revenue away from Apple. eMachines is leeching off Apple's R&D by using Apple's design to trick the consumer into mistaking their computer for an iMac.
According to CNN, a dust plume was not expected in the first place. The crash site was in a crater 4 km deep, and it was unlikely for the dust to climb that high. Water vapor wasn't found either; however, there is still hope that water exists there, but since I am not a scientist I cannot remember what the man representing NASA said they were looking for (H radiants? it's wrong, someone correct me). Anyway, there is still hope water exists. NASA expects the results in a few weeks.
Jobs didn't yank the functionality out of the OS, but he did pull out Apple's support as not all the themes worked properly. However, you could fire up a search engine or hotline and search for the hi-tech, gizmo, or drawing board themes and they'll work fine (just drag onto system folder).
Although if you already payed for Kaleidoscope you'd be better off sticking with it (more themes/support etc).

I would assume that this may cost you some money.
If so, where can we send our contributions to

This isn't something you heard in the sound bite.

But, as the first conviction, the courts may make an example of him. In that case he'd receive around the maximum punishment.

Wow, you mistook a vaccum for a computer?
