I think with Sony, the problem is that you CAN'T make a backup of the file. You can with Apple, and you can with non-DRM'd media. As a matter of fact, I'd be fine with it if they didn't allow redownloads AT ALL if they didn't include DRM
No where in the article does it say that you can't backup video files. What it does say is that you can only re-download once. That is one more time than the iTunes Store. Playstation 3 can be backup through a simple built in function. Just connect a USB drive. I have not tried but I am sure the movie will be present if you restore on the same PS3. (No good if you changed you PS3).-
As for games Sony allow you to download any game you bought on 5 different PS3s an unlimited number of times. They can then all be played at the same time. Games are not the issue in this article. Movies are.
How many people want the noisy red-ringing xbox 360 as a movie player? Not many. Only 3% bought the HD DVD add-on. I find it hard to see the brilliance if you consider a blu-ray option for MS. People will not buy a Xbox 360 for blu-ray. But MS did a seemingly smart business move by getting their console out a year before the competition. In the long run we will see if not including a HD disc was a mistake content wise.
Re:HD-DVD or blue-ray over component video?

Not under $200, but the Playstation 3 play blu-ray in 1080i just fine. I also think the xbox 360 add on does the same as the xbox does not even come with hdmi.
I was in Madrid early may and noticed that every game store I went to had lots of Wiis available. I was quite surprised by this as in my native norway they are quite rare. Though I have seen some in stores. Equally weird is that there where no Wii demo machines. Every one had XBox 360 and Playstation 3.
E.g., I remember going to a few shops in '99 to get an MP3 player. (Yeah, one of those "back in my day" tales;) There was the iPod or there were some things that qualified as one or more of:
The iPod was released in October of 2001. And if I remember correctly it was priced very high. It was also Mac only for the first year.
Does this mean IBM will start paying for overtime in the US now? How about Europe? It is a bit odd that it is the US branch that pay for overtime first. European laws seems to be a bit more on the Employees side in such cases. I am wondering how IBM got away with this in all those years.
It might not be the solution one would expect but I do not think it is hackish. The hackish part comes in when you add Internet Explorer to the equation:
div {
text-align: center;/* IE hack aligns div contents to center*/ }
div div {
width: 541px;
margin-left: auto;/* standard*/
margin-right: auto;/* standard*/
text-align: left;/* IE hack align content in this div left*/ }
This of course is very ugly. Hopefully IE 7 has fixed this in which case in 4 years or so this hack could be dropped. Thankfully I leave web development at the end of August.
All those examples can be worked around, with defined sizes and margins.However I do see your point. There are issues with CSS. Especially the one where Internet Explorer does not support display: table; as others here have pointed out.
Microsoft do sell wireless networking gear, and perhapse they are in fact eating their own dogfood in this case. Microsoft MN-700 seems to be running Linux.
Usually not knowing it's a crime is no get outta jail card. When it comes to the 'net, it is.
Since when was it illegal to share your network connection with someone? Last I have heard there was an entire industry devoted to the service. They are called Internet Service Provider.
But that's no problem either, because in our legislative, being clueless on the net is appearantly an excuse for committing any crime. You participated in a DDoS because your computer contains more malware than other programs? No worries, you didn't know, you're not to blame.
You leave your house for work every day at 9 am and return by 6 pm. Outside your house, on your property, some dude hangs around all day, every day, dealing drugs while you are gone. Is it fair to put YOU in jail for 20 years in this case? You should have known that someone can stand on you lawn and sell drugs, right?
I have shared my wlan for 3 years, and will continue to do so in the future.
Again this is a problem with the window manager in Microsoft Windows(R). Most other window managers support virtual desktops out of the box. I do developing and find virtual desktops a must to be productive. Virtual desktops are available for Windows through Microsoft PowerToys for Windows XP. I have never used it so I do not know if it is any good.
However the topic of the article is not GIMP on Windows, it is GIMP for GNU/Linux. So I think that this is not a valid complaint.
That was my situation back in 2001 when I bought my first Mac. I used GNU/Linux, and intended to use it continue using it when I bought a laptop. The iBook came out as a nice alternative to Windows-laptops back then, price vs. battery vs. noise wise. I went with an iBook with the added benefit of not having to buy Windows. I knew I did not like Windows.
When my iBook came a week or so after I ordered it I decided to try OS X for a few days just to see what the fuzz was all about. To make a long story short, I never installed GNU/Linux on my iBook. And I continued using OS X allmost exclusivly for 3 years. I bought a Powerbook and a Mac Mini after the iBook. Now I am back with using GNU/Linux (Ubuntu) on my new Fujitsu laptop. But the OS X days sure where pleasant. I guess Jobs reality distortion field eventually wore off.
Go ahead and by that Powerbook (Or wait for an Intel iBook)

looking at those games it asks me

This would be the weakest reason I have ever heard. Try Google or e-mail the companys support service. It would probably answer your question.

Thanks. That was a pretty funny image. :)

Internet Explorer does not support this. But the clever programmers at Microsoft figured that text-align: center should do the same thing.

Interesting. What does a real address bar accomplish that the not so real address bar of Nautilus can not do?
Any Gnome devels reading, please explain why we can't have an address bar in Nautilus!
Because you can? Perhapse you should try Nautilus before complaining?
It must be a long time since you checked then. When I bought my first Mac some 4 years ago os x Terminal.app did real transparency.

Bush however will probably find a way to blame it on Saddam. Or maybe Iran, if that support his agenda better.
iCab passed the ACID 2 test before Safari did. iCab is also for OS X (only). It is a pretty good browser.
