This is not surprising. Apple it famous for overcharging for underpowered hardware. Steve just gives barely enough performance so that his products are marginally usable, yet you are first in line for the next release to get that 10% bump in performance.
They won't fund space exploration, so many educated and talented people are now out of a job. Yet the government will pay illiterate, unemployable, cockroaches money to breed and produce a non-stop supply of willing voters for the Democrats. GENIUS!
Why do all consumer electronic devices these days only come in -one- color, white. Thanks Apple, now all my gear looks like it was plucked out of Woody Allen's "Sleeper." I was so glad when the 70's ended, now I have to re-live that horrible decade each time I pick up my remote, ipod, etc. bleech.
"...and they have written off $4.8 billion dollars in stock value.."
Submitter, did you bother read the article? They impaired (wrote down) assets on their books in response to a drop in stock value.
Show me the asset on their books that represents their ownership stake in themselves. You can't since it doesn't exist. Before you start writing about accounting and finance, learn about it first ignorant pig.
Oh the memories, my brothers roomate was (still is) quite the internet dork back in the day. He had a dual-ISDN connection to the internet. A whopping 10K connection if memory serves me. The pings were low, man was it fun to frag! I was hooked../good times.
It is called THE SUN. The only problem with the Sun is that you cannot charge people for using its energy. This is why they are trying to put it (the sun) into a proverbial bottle, so they can sell it to you for big ca$he.
Is still a turd. I can't count how many times I have had to uninstall that gator trojan from family and friends computers. And before firefox/google toolbar for IE was around, you would look up and 15 windows would be open trying to sell you crap.
The biggest problem hurting Microsoft these days is ironically its success. It has so much of the market share in the desktop os market, that it cannot afford to make a clean break with its code and start anew. They must maintain backwards compatability with all the legacy programs. They tried to break from 16 bit computing over a decade ago, but their efforts are still hacks.
Unitl they make a clean break from the hacks on hacks patches on hacked patches, the insanity will grow.
If they start to lose market share in the next 5 years or so, I predict that after the longhorn turd swirls down the toilet that Microsoft will try to hack-up some franken OS on top of Unix/Linux/Free BSD or the like, since thier security model is a piece of shit.
"Secretary of State Kevin Shelley has said Diebold deceived California with aggressive marketing that led to the installation of touch-screen voting systems that were not tested or approved nationally or in California."
Not approved? WTF, why would any vendor, save a car mechanic, do anything without the customer's approval? Especially in the case of a multi-million dollar rollout of such a large product. I call bullshiat, I bet Diebold has many signed approvals by authorized members of the government of California. This is just the start of all the "election irregularies" finger pointing when Kerry takes it up the arse in November.

They must be growing some pretty good pot over in Japan. This thing would sell like ice on the north pole. Can't they see that people like to carry around all their stuff in a BIG auto-mobile..... and not get hurt when the run over smaller cars?

And leave your personal politics out of this... Mr. Danson. Let us remeber that we are a product of the Largest ecological disaster are planet has ever seen. The mass extinction brought on by the Earth being hit by a medium size comet/asteroid/metor. She survived, I am sure Europa will survive a few 100 Kg metallic device soft landing on her surface.
It is a wonder that any of these record/cd companies make any money at all. I am a 37 yr old, and I haven't heard a decent piece of current "popular" musing in over a decade. All they produce is crap from a buch of low talent crimminals and whores. The more they tighen their grip on distribution, "the more systems will slip through their fingers." All the while pissing off all their potential customers.
Keep your eye out for the uber-anonymous p2p file trading system. It will put all those slimy losers out of business.
He got second place in a science competition? It makes me wonder what project won first place. An advanced prototype of a nuclear fission weapon using kitchen grease as fissionable material? How manay days is it until April 1st?
A couple of days after the blackout, I was staying up late and unfortunatley listed to some late night radio. Two different kooks were speculating on the cause of the blackout. One was positive that the Federal government was testing out some "advanced" weapon and the other freak was convinced that the culprit was the power companies looking for an edge to justify raising rates to build more infrastructure.
The crimminal legal system of the United States is based on the principle that your are "innocent until proven guilty." If this is taken as fact, why should the government be concerned who you are until you are arrested/convicted of a crime?
Hmmm.......
Think about that for a while. Perhaps the governemnt is becoming afraid of its citizens. Not a governenment I would like to live under.

We already have a working fusion reactor.

No punishment is too lean for these cockroaches.
The headline should read: "How to put an Intel based processor motherboard into a G3 chassis."
There is no "conversion" going on here.

I like the story of a college professor that brings out a large glass jar in front of a lecutre hall filled with young minds.
./classic.
He places what is most important in life (represented by large rocks) into the jar, family, health, etc.
He then places what is of lesser importance, job, prestige, etc. with smaller rocks.
He then even places things of no importance into the jar represented as sand.
He then whips out a can of beer and pours it into the seeminly "filled" jar.
Then then states that "There is always room for beer!"
Has anyone ever heard of a "gruntled" employee? Just wondering.
Seeing no screenshots of the program in action, I was hoping on seeing it working in a live environment of a FAQ of itself?
I am missing something?
