    It does make a little sense. They are both serving to protect your data.

    Should we now see more data failures since Symantec is doing backups. ;-)

    We saw more viruses when they made virus software. Hmm... they do come out with that detection quite quickly.

    Apple has claimed that they do pick their drives from different lots. Atleast, that is what I've heard from insiders.

    Maybe which should rename "video games" to "reality". It is really hard to tell the difference.

    Seriously, games are an escape. It is a virtual environment to do things that you may not necessarilly be able to do in real life. I have never been able to do more than 110 MPH in a car in reality but it is fun to do in a video game because you don't die when you crash that high speed car.

    I've also chosen not to join the mob, pickup hookers, kill people on the street and steal cars. Though, it is real fun in a video game since there are no consequences.

    Maybe they should make games about sitting in front of a cumputer, in cubicle and being the low man on the totem pole. I'm sure that would sell quite a few games.

    I actual found that getting a car loan was actually harder to get than my mortgage.

    My reasoning: a car is mobile a home is not. So to reposess a car my be difficult if someone is floating around or leaves town. Now a house doesn't move (well, most house don't) so they can kick you out. It may take them longer to reposses it though.

    The easiest credit to get is department store credit. Though, I've found it to be the most evil credit. They may give you 10% off your sale if you sign up for that card today but if you miss a payment or 1 day late you will see no mercy.
