firstly, who wants to carry their laptop like a pizza? any student walking around campus or someone walking through the city isn't going to want to hold their laptop out in front of them. and carrying it under your arm sideways is a dead giveaway there isn't really a pizza in there.
there was a watch debuted about a year or two ago that read your blood sugar through your skin. however, it wasn't 100% accurate and recommended still doing your regular needle based sugar checks. i'm sure any innovations that can eliminate blood-based checking (and the loss of circulation to the fingers that goes with it) would be welcomed with open arms by the diabetes community.

Once they get a good network of vulnerable machines out there anyone who is worth their weight in "haxoring" will try to be the first to cripple every apple on the internet.
As much as we apple users have touted our virus-freeness since 2001 (and before, but it was way less mainstream then), I'm surprised no hax0r has done it yet to shut us up.
I think one of the "simplest" ones to cancel was the offer to sign up with AOL, and as most of us probably already know - that's not usually the easiest thing in the world to cancel. (At the very least, you're gonna be waiting on hold for 20 or 30 minutes until you talk to some cust. service clown who keeps trying to give you more "free hours" rather than just cancel you.)
Tip from personal experience: cancel via fax. No muss no fuss, AOL account is gone after about 3 days
So you care about being able to play Real's DRMd content. Ergo you buy an iRiver.
I care about being able to play my mp3s, the one or two tracks I buy from iTMS, and getting a player that I know will work flawlessly with my Apple laptop. Ergo I get an iPod.
I don't see the need for such anger over one's choice of hardware. My player can play what I need it to play... if I don't buy Real tracks then what do I need Real support for? If I'm not playing windows media tracks, I couldn't give a fuck about windows media support.
The iPod does what it advertises it does - it plays mp3s, DRM and non-DRM AACs, WAVs, FLACs, and AIFFs. It also syncs with iTunes as advertised. It acts as a portable hard drive as advertised. It's not like Apple is being secretive about this stuff... they say quite blatantly what to expect and not expect from your iPod.
I'm still not exactly sure what you are talking about.
The iPod's files can be easily removed, they're just hidden in a standard filesystem view. if that's too complicated for you, there's a plethora of software out there that will extract songs for you.
as for real's songs, real's songs WERE NEVER SUPPORTED in the first place. real hacked their own DRM to make it work on the ipod, and apple hacked the ipod back to make the DRM not work.
it's not a matter of them suddenly not working, it's a matter of not playing on something that it IS NOT NATIVELY SUPPORTED ON.
I'm *really* jealous if you get the 20GB ipods with docks... you get them dirt cheap and with accessories too!
The 20gb came with a dock when it was the middle model (the 10-20-30 and 15-20-30/40 era) now that the 20 is the low end, a dock is a separate investment
That's not a troll, it's the truth. Yes, an ipod can be used as a hard disk, but it's protected by DRM. If Apple says you can't copy that file, you can't.
If you don't buy a DRM'd song from the iTunes store, why don't you tell me where this DRM is coming from?
Yeah, well I've run Windows 2000 quite well with 48 megs. I had to turn off 90% of services, which wasn't hard considering it was a featureless P-120 laptop w/ no sound card or anything else integrated (swapping PCMCIA cards for CDROM, modem, and NIC).
Took me long enough to start in a way Win2k's installer could use the CD, I had to wind up booting off a 98 disc and loading the NT installer from there, but that's another story...
e.g.: Take a page at url mysite.com/index.html . This page just consists of a bunch of iframes, which contain the page content, and the ads. The source of those iframes are from apparently random URLs that all look like mysite.com/?2pg904a82n84 . These content/ad URLs also change with each page reload. How do block the ads next time?
Simple. I stop going to the site because of over-zealous use of iFrames and find a site less desperate for revenue to get my content from.
Why not take all the ads and display them as a flyer, overlayed across the web page for a few seconds - enough time for anyone sufficiently interested in a product or service to investigate it further by really clicking?
Because people who have an extreme pet peeve for web sites that have the nerve to block all of the content with ads for a few seconds will never come back
Then thou must count to 100. Three shall be the number of the counting and the number of the counting shall be 100. 101 shalt thou not count, neither shalt thou count 99, excepting that thou then proceedeth to 100. 103 is right out. Once the number 100, being the number of the counting...

Apple already remade it. The woman is wearing an ipod.

I do believe sub, since it means below, would constitute up to and including $499.99 US
...you're kidding me right? Windows XP and 2000 can both run fine on 128 megs
ok, so mobi i can kind of see, you can consilidate any mobile device web services under one nice little TLD
but are there really that many job sites? travel sites? seriously now.
