Yes indeed: Until Netscape 3, it was the reference, then it got equaled by MSIE. It remained used as the non-MS alternative but since Mozilla, Phoenix/Firebird/Firefox and Opera, there's no place for it anymore, also because it's not even supposed to be anything else than a re-branded OpenSource product. I guess Firefox was the best we could obtain and also the last positive thing Netscape could have done.
The World Beer Conference just ended and the CEOs of the biggest breweries decide to go out for a drink together. The Corona guy asks the barman: "I'm gona take the tastiest beer in the world : a Corona". The Budweizer folk says: "I'll go for the best there is : a Bud" The Heineken man goes: "An Heineken, or nothing !" The Leffe man then asks: "Give me a glass of Diet Coke, please" Then the others: "Why don't you order a Leffe ?" Answer: "Comrades, if you don't want to drink beer, I won't either"
I agree, it's some kind of ergonomically reshaped mouse but it's still a mouse. It kinda reminds me of Microsoft Natural Keyboard... If it had been THAT revolutionariy, everybody would have gotten one nowadays.
What's the point ? Isn't this a form of pollution, anyway ? Even if we do not actually know what we pollute if these are radio waves... If itz's light, no doubt, it is. The Macunmba disco (near Geneva) had to stop lighting the sky at night for ecological reasons.

Actually my position is that I value purity more than gratuity. I would pay to avoid ads but I would no pay more if my adless connection were to become adfull.
He distributed non-ready software : in other words, his Tiger distro is already obsolete. I suggest the following:
Apple folks leave him alone and eventually revoke his ADC membership
They begin a reward scheme, randomly offering thingies (.Mac, softs... : things that don't have much material value -software is easily reproductible- but that people will like to show off) to some clients so that it will incitate others to buy more stuff from them
It's not Free if you have to rely on your provider to throttle your bandwidth by flooding you with ads. I am somehow anxious to see that one has to pay the big bucks to avoid an over-commercial situation.
The iPod feature a sync functionality which makes it a read only handheld. Aren't there more iPod than CE handhelds ? This'd make the iPodOS the 1st handheld OS. Has someone the figures ?

You're not my Soft, sorry and I won' assimilate this !
I put this between double quotes so that it would have been taken "reservedly" :)
Is it because the Beeb has been so "reserved" when Blair engaged his Kingdom's soldiers into Iraq for some yet-to-be-defined reasons ?
Alec ? Is that you ? (see 1st item in "trivia")
This article was featrued on MacSlash since yesterday !

Thanks, you just made my point with this excellent comment. You desserve to be upmodded to heaven ;)
This just seems so wrong : of all central american countries, Costa Rica is the only one without a confusing bloddy story, why would they start now ?
What about the cells themselves, the life duration ?
Could we "coat" a laptop with these in order to enhance its battery life duration ?
Exactly: Even in the US, it would possible to live (miserably) for many years with such an amount of money.
As Ali G says : Keep it real !
It's fucking obscene.
Mod parent up !!!
And a ball, so it'll still be enough.
Never underestimate Apple's Ergonomists.
1913'Webster mentioned that "The term has recently been used for remote clusters of stars".
So I guess it will have to be updated.
No problem, according to its specs it can be dropped without much damage.
I accidentally dropped mine one week ago and it still works like a charm.

It's because he turned his grammar checker off instead of his automatic updater :)
If you have access to the physical device, it becomes possible to simulate an FS on top of your data stream... unless it's encrypted, of course.
