This has nothing to do with the Airport device in specific. The same is true for any 802.11 device. If you're connecting to it not using WEP, then it's insecure. We know this. It's not an Apple thing.
I'm not sure you have to be brave to click the link that crashes your Mozilla. It's like not pressing the red button that says "Don't Press". I knew what it was going to do and I still clicked the link. Give stupid/curious people like me some credit too thanks.
yes, i'm sure. but once you turn off autosync for an ipod you can't turn it back on without erasing the contents of any ipod that you synced while it was off.
You can do this anyway. Just turn of autosyncing on both computers and choose which music you want to upload to the iPod. My brother and I do this all the time because his powerbook doesn't have enough space to hold all the music we own.
Am I the only person who assumes Apple Computers would keep the name of Universal if they were to buy the record company, therefore flying under the radar. The agreement with Apple Corps was to avoid confusion in the marketplace. If the music products still carried the Universal name, wouldn't Apple Computers be in the clear even if they were the parent company?
Legislation to hamper spam probably won't be worth the price. I for one don't want any more of my liberties taken away from me, and the first amendment is a big one. Say what you will, but the ability to spam sure does seem like it would be protected by freedom of speech. Is it annoying? Of course. The only way to get spam to slow down (it will never stop) would be for ISPs to charge them per email, the same way snail mail costs money. The problem with email is that it's practically free. It's up to the ISPs to hunt down spammers within their userbase, and frankly, they probably won't do it as they won't want to lose the business. But how do you differentiate spammers and legitimate mass mailers? This is something way to complex for Congress to tackle if you ask me. Strom Thurmon probably thinks the only spam out there is the canned variety. Stop bitching to the goverment to stop spam. It's going to have to happen some other way.
I'm am just in awe of the RIAA. Sue the people who work in education to stop intra-campus filesharing over private networks. I think it's official that the music industry hates education. That way the youth of tomorrow will be dumb enough to buy the same recyled crap the music industry will put out for us. But seriously, What are they really hoping to achieve by temporarily impeeding a college students ability to aquire music that they probably wouldn't buy anyway because they can't afford to buy cd after cd. I really wish they would just come out and say what their master plan is, because right now it just seems like they are bullies which is going to make them lose business, not increase it. I can't remember the last time I bought a cd from a major label. I bought a vinyl copy of the new AFI album which was released on Adeline records over buy the CD put out by Dreamworks, simply to avoid giving any money to a major label. But I haven't downloaded an RIAA song in the past year either. I don't buy their product because their product is crap, not because I have the ability to steal it. I can get almost any top 40 release for free, but I don't because I don't want it.
Until all these companies find a standard that they can agree upon, we'll never see the supposed benefits of the advances in this technology. Just look at compact flash/memory stick/ MMC/SD/ whatever else is out there to plug into your camera/phone/palm. There's too many for any of them to have any real universal utility.
What would happen to these products if the television networks and electronics companies would get HDTV out of stagnation and into actual homes for a reasonable price? Could any current storage media hold a sufficient amount of HDTV broadcast at a reasonable quality or would Tivo and all of these devices like it be obsoleted until HDs could catch up to the massive amount of space required for the high resolution signal?
It's nice to see cable companies doing something about people stealing from them rather than simply blaming it all on P2P, the internet in general, and TiVo. Sucks for the people who now have to pay for all the stuff they might have not ordered if they knew they had to pay for it, but I can't exactly call this unfair.
I personally think it's nice that they are releasing betas to the general public for these projects. People have been playing around with betas of apple software for years, I'm sure multiple people who are reading this have installed 'Rhapsody'. So instead of making people who prefer to be on the bleeding edge of the MacOS obtain their beta products using methods not exactly 'legal', they just let us have them with the warning that they aren't quite perfect yet. For some reason, Apple people just can't wait for new products to come out. I appreciate Apple giving us our crack now, rather than making us wait for it.

Considering the new 1.42 Ghz machines are dual processors, by your theory i would expect more than just a 750mhz PIII, something more along the lines of a 1.0-1.2 ghz athlon, depending on how well VPC takes advantage of dual processors. That's not that bad a machine if you think about it.
I'm a freshperson at University of California Santa Cruz, and bandwidth was a huge problem at the beginning of the year. It was almost impossible to simply surf the web during peak usage hours, mainly because of all the P2P clients running. It seriously felt like a 28.8. A few months after school started, the school implemented a 2GB/day bandwidth cap. If you go over the cap, they cut you off until you call up and they explain what happened and then turn you back on. It's not meant to inhibit students lives or to police them, simply to allow people to use the campus internet connection at reasonable speeds. Since they implemented the cap, students have become aware of their P2P usage and aren't leaving their kazaa clients online and sharing 24/7 effectively killing the college's bandwidth. Now the connection is fast throughout the day, and people are rarely kicked off any more because they learned how to manage their downloads and uploads. And as far as I'm concerned, as long as I'm paying to live on campus, the internet connection I am given is for whatever I see fit, not just for "academic purposes" as someone else stated, just like the water out of the faucet isn't only for academic purposes. 2GB/month seems a bit harsh, but capping student's bandwidth is a good thing in my opinion as a student who has to share a connection with thousands of others.

So now we can have Mobile Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games, and geeks can get a tan!
Yeah but how many people bought that album for one or two songs?

So that's why Steve Jobs took floppy drives out of Macs, to build an army of loyal robots to take over the world. It seems so obvious now.
According to the Iraqi Information Minister, there is no spoon. Oh, wait...

Frames are soooo 1997
If it's lawful and legal, then it must obviously be right, right?

Now I'll never get into that HDD-100 beta test.

Hah, don't think you can trick me again with a rediculous story like this!

I think Nabisco has prior art on this one.

"World's largest 20" OLED full color display, WXGA (1280x768) with Low power consumption driven by Amorphous Silicon TFTs."
The world's largest 20" display? Is it that much bigger than other 20" displays? Or does it just have a tremendously large frame?

Reminds me of the movie Gattaca. Scary.
