People choose to remain ignorant as a method of avoiding responsibility. It's like I choose not to buy a pickup truck because I don't want my friends and neighbors to ask me to help them move.
Works pretty good for Microsoft, since the SCO thing didn't pan out so well, aside from its diversionary purpose. Further fragments F/OSS. One more potentially competing system (OS and Office suite) out of the way.
...all you folks who voted for Ralph Nader and so on handed the White House to the Republicans.

Are we sure all 5 of these are actually attempts to -preserve- privacy?
Of course not. It's an attempt at featherbedding the bureaucracy with another toothless department, whose main purpose is to collect political "donations" to be laundered during the election cycle. Close to 2 billion on this one so far... not too shabby
The question should be, Just how far will the customers let Sony put its foot up their arses? Despite all this from Sony, and Apple too, they just keep on coming back for more. Must be something seductive about the abuse.
I have a thirteen year battery that still gives over a hour and a half of service. The number of cycles is everything. If you deep cycle it every day, you won't get two years out of it.
A revolution? For what? Because the glass display on your iPhone cracked? Yeah, that oughta make the native pretty restless.. It would definitely be a first, that an appliance could cause such widespread despair and hopelessness..

We're going to let the kilogram "float" and put it on the commodities market. It should triple the value of the gram
What, you can't sniff the traffic going in and out of your machine?
I remember when everybody started yelling when the phone books were first being put onto CD-ROMs

should be more careful what they wish for
They wanted to play gorilla.bas
They're supposed to ensure the registration is legit by default. This is just a way of extracting higher prices for doing their job.
it smells a bit like someone else is pulling the strings.
Very likely. It's more like they bought Sun to kill it, as a favor to a friend...
What did they get for buying Sun, exactly?

What if Baidu helped me find all your bank account numbers and I "downloaded" all your money? How would you feel about their service then?
