About 6 months ago my dual usb was one week out of warranty when screen backlight refused to work beyond about 30 degrees open.
Searched around on google and found it to be a relatively common problem. Took it into an Apple Store and got if fixed within 3 days.
I questioned the 'genius' about what I found to be a common problem and was told that they had not see such an issue before.
I was a little surprised but I guess they wouldn't say if it was common. Was a little bummed that it occurred just one week out of the warranty but I got it fixed quickly and moved on without much hassle (except for the small matter of the service cost)
One of the funniest stories I've heard about filming 'The Italian Job' was the one where the producers asked the Torino authorities if they could place a piano (italian for camera - and car!) on the roof of the Turin Museum(?).
Thinking the producers meant camera - the authorities allowed the shoot to go ahead - by the time they realised they were actually putting a couple of cars (3 minis + 1 fiat police car) on the roof, the scene was shot and over. Classic stuff.
We're due for a whole new round of legal cases for "white finger syndrome" anyway. Legal costs incurred by Sony & Microshaft can then be recouped from the ongoing royalty payments made to Immersion. Ha!

Submitted & rejected: HP and Dreamworks SKG have announced a strategic alliance - "aimed at revolutionizing animation production." The success of "Shrek" and the input of HP during the production phase clinched the deal. The deal is said to include "the addition of more than 200 high-end Linux-based workstations, a 500-processor Linux renderfarm, 15 terabytes of storage and a high-speed Ethernet-based infrastructure"
The ASIC - Australia's equivalent to the SEC - has been runnning bogus internet scams of their own for a while now. They even have awards for the best (or worst depending on your viewpoint) scams found - The Gull Awards (past winners)
Makes total sense when they're now licensing their OS to several different hardware manufacturers. Think about it. Their hardware team is in direct competition with their own software sales team.
Several companies are in this unique situation but Palm must have realised the benefits of splitting themselves up. Kind of like 3Com splitting off Palm in the first place.
Yahoo has been using X10 pop-up ads for quite some time. In my experience, they seem to be triggered for when you leave the dailynews.yahoo.com site.
The yahoo page linked to in this article contains links to news stories on external websites - so - if you follow a link - you're leaving dailynews.yahoo.com - so - you get the X10 pop-up ad.
Why is this so strange? They've been doing this for at least 6 months.
Unless someone is confusing that 'technoscout' ad on the right-hand column for a real news article - I have no idea what this article is talking about.
Confusing this ad for a *real* news article is like actually thinking you *will* win something for punching the monkey.
GUI Standard
on
Apple PDA?
·
· Score: 3, Interesting
1. Do you seriously think that with all the effort Apple has been putting into GUI conformity in OSX that they would at least try and keep the GUI at least similar (if this thing is indeed real - which it isn't) to the OSX look-n-feel.
2. Also, I severely doubt that they would make their own browser - that looks like a whole lot like iTunes... If they had gone to the trouble of producing such a browser - why isn't it included with OSX now?
3. Also the widgets at the bottom of the screen look much to similar to those used by the linux Sharp Zaurus.
4. Apple would never put a big cheesey logo on the front of the thing. Does the iPod have a huge logo on the front?
Am I the only one that thinks that calling something an iWalk is extremely lame?
If indeed Apple have decided to get back into the PDA market right now (which I seriously doubt) I *seriously* doubt they will give it a name as lame as the iWalk. Surely you guys can think of something better than that.
I'm still getting over the laughing chest pains suffered when the last iWalk photos were 'leaked'.
There was a recent incident here in Australia where an accident victims fingers were transplanted from one hand onto the other...
One hand was severed during the accident, the other hand was crushed, they took the good fingers from the severed hand and put them on place of the crushed fingers. Wow.
"Although the NJ100 can be powered by a local AC adapter, the NJ100's "Power-Over-Ethernet" option is a feature that really provides additional value."
So if I don't get the extra PoE option, I have a switch mounted in the wall (nice and neat)- powered by a cord thats running across from AC brick plugged into the nearest power-outlet (ugly as sin). Am I missing something here?
Aussie actor Jack Thompson was interviewed on the *cough* Ray Martin Show last night, here in Australia.
He talked a little about his role as a "moisture farmer". Talked about the set in Tunisia and how he took his son along to the set each day.
He also mentioned that video-cameras were allowed on the set... I'm not aware of any leaking yet - but even after the film is released, this footage would be gold.
Another thing - whenever I used to go to msn.com it would redirect me to the local msn - ninemsn.com.au (Australia's version of).
After the *upgrade* I'm no longer redirected. Those outside the US can finally view the US-msn without being pushed towards the localised version. Yay?

Sorry to be a pain but they're actually running Netscape-Enterprise/3.6 SP3 on Solaris. Uptime looks good.
Let Immersion have the patent.

I'm trying to remember from when I last listened to it: here goes anyway:-
We're KPMG, We're strong as can be
Something, Something
And our visions of global strategy...
Anyone know all the words? (I don't have the mp3 here right now)
My apologies. I wrote my reply in a bit of a harry.
I agree.
Why do all virii contain stupid spelling & gramatical errors?
How are you ?
When I saw this screen saver, I immediately thought about you
I am in a harry, I promise you will love it!

F-Secure have a page describing the W32.Goner.A@mm as well.
Yup. W2K + IIS/5.0
