So if the kid's arm gets torn off by a paper shredder, the parent shouldn't be notifiied? Just take the kid to the hospital and let mom wonder why little Johnny isn't home at 3?
Sure people got along fine without cell phones but life is a lot better in many ways having them.
As for your ridiculous job retort -- there are those of us that are on call for our jobs morning 'til late evneing 6 days of the week. I'm not about to move into my office, jerk.
Focus on using your limited intellect to get yourself food and water. Let the rest of us have our phones.
Scenario: You're a soccer-mom and your kids are at school. Their listed emergency # is mommy's cell phone. What then? Mommy can't go to the coffee shop because her phone might be jammed? That's a bit ridiculous. Same goes for a Doctor. Same goes for people who *need* to be able to receive calls for their jobs.
Cell phones are a fact of life. If you don't like, move to Elbonia.
Even though I'm not single I love that idea. They could expand upon it with both "single" and "easy" or on the flip-side, spousal/child monitoring. yay?! Technology can be a beautiful thing...
Exactly where can you download Solaris 9 x86 from? I'd love to play with it but I can't seem to find a FREE download link on their site. They want either $20 or $95 for a media kit by mail.

I agree with you 100%. c|net really seems to have a major vendetta against Apple lately. Everything they publish seems to have a very anti-Apple slant. I think there is something sneaky going on behind the scenes.
I confess, I am a Mac addict, an Apple-loving zealot and everything else. I don't think everything Apple does is wonderful, but I'm royally pissed at c|net for this and I'll never use any of their sites ever again. I encourage others to do the same.
Personally, I have been a Stereophile reader for a number of years. Over time (and through listening experience) I just picked up a few things. If you are interested in learning about high-end audio (beware, it is an expensive addiction) I would suggest buying a copy of Stereophile and then visiting a local AV specialty shop.
I'm not sure it's the codec so much as it is the hardware in question. Apple seems to have used high-quality components (op-amps, etc). Most consumer-grade audio products use the cheapest parts they can get away with, and people think it sounds good because it has punchy bass and exaggerated highs. (See: Bose)
They'll start charging for necessary security fixes.
Oh yeah... and it's only $35 for the embedded Linux license. I'm sure the LinkSys makes heavy use of that stolen NUMA/RCU code. Big time CPU stuff being done there =p
I have had a total of 3 PowerBooks. I started with a PowerBook G3/292 (Wallstreet series). About 9 months after purchasing it, it started randomly shutting down on me with no apparent explanation. I shipped it off to Apple, 2 days later it came back with a new motherboard. Never had a problem again.
My next PowerBook was the original 500MHz Titanium model. Approximately 10 months after purchasing it, strange vertical lines appeared on the LCD one day. Once again, I shipped it off to Apple and 2 days later, I had a new LCD.
Major repairs. No questions asked.
These first two PowerBooks rarely ever left my desk. I just liked them for their size.
Now, when I got my 12" PowerBook. Do you think I bought AppleCare? You bet your ass!
I actually bring this one with me everywhere, because it is soooo damned cute and small. As careful as I am with it, I'm not willing to lose an expensive laptop to chance.
Apple's service has proven its worth to me and I'll never buy a Mac without it. As wonderful as their products are, strange things can happen and it's good to know that I can be back up and running within 72 hours.

I guess that's what I get for trying to be funny. Sorry.
I live for the day that MR Duhhhrrll McBride gets a stuffed penguin, loaded with plastic explosives, on his desk some morning with flowers.
Juuuust kidding. It's nice to fantasize though.

Technology can be a beautiful thing...
You could even say it's a UNIX clone.
I'm not sure which is a scarier adversary.
The U.S. Govt and all their weapons or IBM's man-eating lawyers.
They sure know how to pick 'em though...

Yes, I RFTA and a 1 line compliment at the end doesn't make up for all the Apple/iPod-bashing they did.

If you have that dimensional warp generator, flux capacitor, tin foil hat or whatever, I'm sure he'd love to hear from you.
Danger, Will Robinson! DMCA violation!

I doubt you have to rev your RS/6000 to 6k rpm before it becomes more than a glorified Civic.

Apple Keychain
Now I only have to remember 2 or 3 different passwords. Keychain does the rest of the thinking for me.
I have a better one.
1) Claim your IP is in Linux
2) Spread FUD
3) Sue people and make the world hate you
4) ?????
5) Profit!
I think I like Saddam better than good ol' Darl.
Apple will not be the only one selling 970s. IBM is basing a new line of servers on them too.
and they would be in error to do so because flaws of this magnitude do not exist in MacOS X or Linux.

Just my opinion though... I could be wrong.
does anyone else think this is going to piss Steve Jobs off royally?
The same company that he is buying gobs of CPUs from are now going to be competing directly with his other business.
No. Gnu's Not Unix.
