Never understood this complaining about colors. You can probably change the colors within 10 seconds of bootup. All these arguments seem to have the notion that the color is set in stone.
KEYLOGGER - This allows us to transcribe everything you type on your keyboard. Any instant messages, emails, or search terms you type, we can see. This helps to make it easier to extort and blackmail you. If you install on a corporate machine even better, we can gain very valuable information.
"BONUS" DLLS - We install random dll's that run even when the software is not running. This does a variety of great things! Your computer can even turn into a mail server, without you even noticing!
UNINSTALL BLOCKER - Don't we all hate uninstallers than can REMOVE and DELETE any programs you want to remove. Our special software cannot be uninstalled! This protects you from the MPAA.
D.R.M. software - We don't even know what this does!
I don't think you realize it, but you gave that poor soul a 30-minute break. Of course he stayed on the line, the call monitoring software showed him working hard with a customer. Meanwhile he was sitting back and relaxing, pretending to talk to you when the manager walked by.
The iTunes Music Store requires:
* A Macintosh computer (iBook, PowerBook, iMac, eMac or Power Mac)
* Mac OS X 10.1.5 or later. (version 10.2.5 or later recommended)
* iTunes 4 must be installed
* Internet connection (DSL, Cable or LAN connection recommended)
* Apple ID or.Mac account. If you donâ(TM)t have one, itâ(TM)s easy to sign-up.
* The iTunes Music Store is only available in the U.S.
Obviously none of you used the "Silver theme" which is installed by default. All your complaints are nullified are that point. Why ignore the silver theme?...
I once ran an 80mb hardrive without the cover on for almost a year. I would actually hold the arm and move it around on the platter (while off). It was fun to watch boot up and work, and even back then I knew I wasn't supposed to be doing that.
Someone asks about the multiplayer Doom 3. They haven't worked on it yet. In the middle of a live Q&A session, Tim is assuring everyone the game will be multiplayer. He starts throwing out words even though he doesn't know the exact way it will work, because, hey, they haven't done multiplayer yet. Wrong.
This was revealed during John Carmack's Q&A session, a man who doesn't usually "throw out words" when he doesn't know "the exact way it will work".
Tim blurts "It will be a peer to peer system." That's the entire discussion of that in the whole article. There is nothing else. Wrong. The talk with Tim was after Carmack's speech, and it was a 1-on-1 with a reporter, Tim wasn't talking to a crowd.
By "peer to peer" system he simply meant "yes, you will be able to hook up your computers and play together" and nothing else. Why does this deserve a front page article? It doesn't. It was obviously something he said while in a live situation and he wasn't sure of the details. Wrong, again. By "peer to peer" he meant, *gasp*, peer to peer. He is not stupid and realizes what peer to peer means. To answer your question: it deserves a front page article because the new Doom is using a different type of networking code than the Quakes. We're all big fans of the id games and this is "New for nerds, stuff that matters"
The poster of this article looks sillier than the stock market and Alan Greenspan. What's even more disturbing is that Taco fell for it too. Someone needs to send over good strong pot of coffee. It's days like these when the trolls start to make sense. Cultural reference drivel. Next.
Spaceships? What spaceships? Ep2 had *one* space battle, consisting of a whopping *two* ships. Isn't it STAR Wars? Why the hell did the last two movies feature climactic LAND battles?!?!?!?
Actually Star Trek showed us years ago that the "hair-clip" interfaces directly with Geordi's nervous system via little "ports" on his temples. I see this as a plausible system for, at least, sight augmentation.
But how many of those bands are using their mass appeal in an earlier era to extend their concert sales? U2, Elton John, Billy Joel, Madonna, Aerosmith, Janet Jackson, Eric Clapton, Neil Diamond, Rod Stewart, Jimmy Buffet, James Taylor. I think Wolff is describing an era that will exist after our facination with nostalgia ends.

Recently frozen pizzas have gotten the warning: DO NOT EAT UNCOOKED
Some idiot must have tried to eat a pizza right out of the freezer.
Yes just like in Doom, where there was no action button... oh... wait...

Yes the software is crawling with all kinds of nasties. Keyloggers, spyware, adware, "DRM" software.
I don't think this would cause more traffic on mail servers.

Maybe he/she thought the joke was "completely inane"?
