Well, hard times for these guys. They have tons of data with next to no noise, errors or uncertainty. I can name 20 people i know personally that would love datasets like that for their research. Am I the only one seeing it this way? Shame you didn't buy the hard drives 4 months ago though. Tough break.
I would say that it's more likely they want to open up the airplay protocol. Encouraging more devices to connect to their devices and enabling airplay on more 3rd party devices.
You might consider waiting for a zenbook from ASUS. It is essentially a macbook Air without the apple logo. ASUS usually have pretty decent linux support too. http://www.anandtech.com/tag/zenbook
I really don't think it matters how your keyboard is laid out. What I think does matter is that it has mechanical switches. This makes a huge difference in typing, allows you to put less strain on your fingers (you don't have to bottom out the keys) and also drowns out the sound of the guy next to you (and pretty much everything else).
Getting a keyboard with blank keycaps has really improved my typing speed. It forces you to touch-type which is another skill that will pay dividends.
I personally use a Das Keyboard Ultimate S since it was the only one easily available where I live. It is hands down the best investment I have made when it comes to comfort at work. If you prefer something different then look for Cherry blue switches which seems to be the favorite of most. If you really want to get into the keyboard porn thing then go here: http://geekhack.org/
Seems to me as thought this holds a valuable lesson for Slashdot. With the management asking about the future what better time for a story like this to surface! Platformize Slashdot!
Of all recent films, this is probably one of those that benefited most from filesharing. The thing was completely unknown and one could make a strong case for part of the hype that got generated being thanks to filesharers who saw the film and passed the word around.
I think that there will always be a status quo in the filesharing 'war' unless something dramatic happens which seems unlikely.

What's wrong with AES256 for protecting my Gnome?

Surely the biggest problem is the name! Red Dwarf, corporate brown-nosing etc...
