Intel has fallen behind as the mainstream CPU manufacterer. I wonder how long consumer will pay a premium for slower Intel CPUs
Analysts' assessments came after Intel announced last week that it was scrapping plans to develop a 4-gigahertz version of its Pentium 4 chip. On Tuesday, AMD unveiled a pair of advanced new chips, the Athlon 64 FX-55 and the Athlon 64 4000-plus, which analysts believe will be more appealing at the high end of the PC market.

When will the record companies learn, if they price there product in an affordable price range, people will buy.
Apple has sold approximately 85 million songs in the first two months of 2005, surpassing Piper Jaffray's initial estimates for the entire March quarter. Based on Apple's earlier announcement of 300 million total tracks sold, Senior Research Analyst Gene Munster says that iTunes sales could account for $83.2 million in revenue in the March quarter--or about $35 million more than the firm has been estimating. The firm also believes average daily sales rate has been 1.35 million per day since late January, which very similar to the 1.43 million daily run rate (i.e., sales of songs) in the weeks following the holidays. "We had been anticipating a more significant drop off in iTunes sales from the levels seen in the weeks following the holidays."
In addition to driving iPod sales, the firm says that Apple's iTunes Music Store will also contribute significantly to the company earnings: while it estimtates that the current operating margin on iTunes is in the low single digits, Piper Jaffray says it believes iTunes profitability will begin to increase throughout 2005, with operating margins reaching 5% to 10% in 2006.
Recent medical brain scan studies at Harvard, Indiana University, and elsewhere prove that adolescents' brain functions are damaged by a steady diet of violent images. The heads of six major health care organizations, including the American Medical, Pediatric, and Psychiatric Associations have all testified before Congress in June 2000 that violent entertainment contributes to teen violence. Video games are literally "murder simulators" teaching our kids how to kill.
Seems that Libraries have to follow certain guidlines in order to make these electronic reproductions.
Copyright Issues for Libraries When Digitizing Materials for the Web When digitizing documents or other objects to be made available on the World Wide Web, a library first needs to determine whether the item is protected by copyright or whether it is in the public domain. If the material is protected by copyright, the library will need to obtain permission from the copyright owner before making the digitized copy available through the World Wide Web. If the item is in the public domain, the library does not need permission to digitize it and make it available.

How bout using this technology as a way to keep track of inventory. As a matter of fact, most companies who make similar technology will only deal with customers interested in spending alot of $$'s on it.
im tired of ebays price gouging schemes. they raised the ebay store fees from 9.95 / month to 15.95 / month among other things.
They also own paypal and charge a fee for the transaction.
so you get charged about a dollar for the insertion fee, a percentage of the sale if the item sells, and then they take a little money for the paypal transaction.
by who's standards? We do need to protect copyrights but at todays day and age, its getting quite ridulous dont you think? The poor get poorer and the rich get richer
The smartjoy cannot program any of the joystick controls on the mouse... for example, I use right click to go forward, you can't program forward on the mouse.
I had to hard wire my right mouse click to the keyboard. In order to do this successfully, you have to segregate the mouse switch by cutting the traces on the mouse.

That would be totally cool if the Escape Hybrid lives up its expectations of 36 mpg, but looking at how the other so-called 36 mpg hybrids are doing, im not very optimistic.
That's pretty impressive that he helped sell over 100,000 SG1 DVD's by providing direct links to amazon.com He should have been paid a commission for his actions. Send a letter to the MPA to have them PAY UP!
Looks like the long distance companies are taking a hit! No more ATT telemarketers! The long distance included with the cell phones are hitting the big LAN line corps.

Why would they care about downloads? They get money selling advertising.
The music companies should do the same.
Time to get BitTorrent going, who's going to start it up?

Looking at Novell's product line, they seem to be a dead company... or a totally restructured one from the past...
Speaking of flash, who's flash card died after 1 day.
My brand new 16MB Canon Compact Flash died after leaving it my card reader for a few days =(

I can't beleive they went out of business. It seemed like they were doing pretty well. =(
