This is a non-issue. As you can glean from the Sheets quicktime movie, an accidental window closure will create a (Don't Save|Cancel|Save) window before it disappears. Naturally, "Save" is the default choice.
When I was dealing with non-compete/non-disclosure issues at a previous job, my contract lawyer told me about Sony's non-compete.
Most of the non-competes that I've seen prevent the employee from working in the same geographic area (usually the city, possibly the state) for a period of time (I've seen 1-5 years).
The lawyer told me that Sony's non-compete goes far beyond that: they include the phrase "the solar system" quite often. Scary, eh?
IANAL, but I understand it's unreasonable, and probably unenforcable to put such wide geographic limitations on a person's career. I know that it's unenforcable to prevent somebody from working in the tech field for five years. The courts may permit up to one, but five will be laughed at by the judge. An intelligent judge anyway.:-)
WRT Sony's URL-grabbing, I would assume all stage names are Sony's, period. If the signee became famous with their real name, that/may/ be arguable in court.
I searched a bit, but can not find any Sony NDAs or non-competes on line. A lucky virtual nickel (5c) to the person that can reprint one!

I believe Heather said her "favorite thing to do on the weekends was to go camping, but maybe not anymore", or something to that effect.
Some AC said: [...del...] wrapped in the bundle of sticks was Josh's tounge and or teeth. Because the night before they heard a man screaming [...] like how most people scream with their tounge cut out.
I saw a tongue as well and some type of bone, possibly a molar.
I respectfully disagree that Josh was screaming "as a man with his tongue cut out". I could clearly make out words: "Help" for sure and others as well. Curse my shallow memory.:-) Anyway, if Joshua had no tongue, then we would have heard only hollow moans.
So why, you ask, can we hear Josh clearly?
My theory, heretofore unseen in the other posts, answers this question: the Blair Witch cut out Josh's tongue and tooth. She then magicked these to speak on their own. When Heather and Mike hear Josh calling out to them, it is the disembodied voodoo-tongue calling out for help.
In your article which I read at CNNin, you claim that the Pilot is little more than a trendy, expensive day-planner. I respectfully disagree. While I cannot speak for all of the Pilots out there, I can certainly present my experiences.
The Palm V is smaller than any day-planner I've seen.
Having a current calendar, in sync with our corporate calendar (OnTime), is a life-saver. You can argue that the pen-and-paper route only takes a few seconds longer; I'd rather spend my time doing more important things.
Let us not forget the difficulty of "upgrading" a day-planner. Inserting the new calendar year, and rewriting many of my notes does not sound like fun.
What if the planner is lost? No backup. If my Pilot is lost - God forbid - I have all the data safe on my desktop PC.
I keep a current list of movie show times and locations on my Palm V for play. If I want to see a movie, I can figure out the where and when effortlessly. See Showtimes.
I keep current fishing reports on my Palm V. When I drive out of town over the weekends, it is a boon to have all of the info at my fingertips. If a lake is dry, we set our sights elsewhere. See AvantGo.
Speaking of the outdoors, when camping last week, after our flashlights ran dry - oops - my Palm V's backlight allowed us to build a fire. Not exactly the typical use, but when in a pinch, we have to make do with the tools at hand.:-)
I am a Systems Analyst. I maintain 40+ accounts on 20+ machines. Each of those passwords, root or otherwise, changes once/month. To memorize that many passwords is impossible. Storing them in a day-planner is insecure. Storing them encrypted on a Pilot is a Good Thing.
You argue that the company ends up paying for these devices. Not mine, I spent all $449 out of my pocket.
You also argue that it is the IT dept. that gets saddled with supporting these devices. Not mine; if it breaks, I fix it. I have fixed it every time it's broken, and have had to restore from backups twice. There isn't much a hard reset and full restore won't cure.
I hope I've convinced you that the Palm Pilot is not just a glorified day-planner, gameboy, or status-symbol.
the time frame covered of the movie was really skewed. They focused on the years of the Lisa and original Mac, but didn't show the 14 or so years after that [...]
Naturally. The early years of Apple and MS are better documented, or at least, more people are willing to repeat the old rumours they've heard and/or made up.
More importantly, I believe director Martyn Burke used the time-frame in question to leave the door open for a sequel.

Being able to run an editor in one monitor, a debugger on another, and putting your system monitors and email in a third is just plain handy.
