The videos are not very practical or useful for every day computing, but the foundation has been laid so that various usability options are available.
With this, I think that it would be much easier to mimick Apple's Expose, or do other usability improvements for managing multiple application windows better, so that linux can finally move away from emulating Windows, which has not been improved in usability since 1994.
So if some phisher has access to put a redirect on sesamestreet.com, he could simply upload the content of asianhookers.com. I do not see how this is a great threat, as a 419'er would need access to paypal.com to fool anyone into going to his server in Nigeria.
My personal favorite is the FireFox in a box...every where I went, I had a different crop of bookmarks, now my browsing is the same wherever I go.
I prefer Bookmarks Synchronizer. Upload your bookmarks to an ftp server when closing FireFox if bookmarks changed. Download them when starting it back up and the cpies differ. All automatically.
Wake up rip van winkle - we've been gaming on linux for years, and sad to say, you were asleep and missed it all. For a gentle heads-up, see doom 1/2/3, quake 1/2/3, ut 2000/2003/2004, RtCW, etc etc...
Hmm, maybe the variety in the gaming titles that you used as examples was what put him to sleep in the first place.
The bigger questions is do anyone really need a G5 Powerbook? I guess for the few people that edit movies and Huge graphics files do but for the average person the shorter battery life and higher weight seems to be a bad trade off. I have to wonder if Apple is going to use the new CELL cpu for the next generation of notebooks. Maybe duel CELL cpus since they should be cheap. --------------
Clearly your current CPU cannot keep with your typing to be able to correct your bad grammar, capitalization, and spelling, so there's at least one average user that needs a faster CPU.
I think this is an example of the "playing phone" nature of internet journalism: sources of sources sumarizing already scant information into even shorter blurbs, entirely out of context, and even entirely false.
I remember the time when the size of the gaming industry hovered around $5-$6 billion, as recently as year 2000. Anyone have a monthly or yearly chart that would show when the jumps occured?
Dunno about you, but when I see a full page add coming up on the next page of whichever newspaper I'm reading, most of the time I skip the entire page because I know there isn't an article to read on that page.
Perhaps they would have done better with many small ads on a number of successive pages. That is what Audi is doing now in the Wall Street Journal, and I'm more aware of their ad than any others.
There was a great program at the same time on OLN about a couple that met with a hurricane in the open sea. The man vanished in a single instant, and the woman sailed to Hawaii with a makeshift sail. Very moving and more interesting than the awards.
But after you think of all the work that you'll have to do to (possibly) get a free iPod, its easier to stick in some extra hours at work for a few days. Not only do you have to sign up, but you have to pretend to use the service you signed up for, then cancel it, and lastly you have to convince 5 other people to do the same.
With all the effort, its easier to do some tech gig on the side removing spyware or some such.
You kinda lost me with this reply. Dunno, maybe the whole thing is sarcasm, though I don't get it.
But to answer the oil question (which came out of the left field): sure I feel uneasy when watching F1. But for motorsports to stop, there would have to be a very widespread and coherent agreement between the audience to reject the sport. I doubt that would happen any time soon, seeing how large cars and SUVs sell like hot cakes in the US.
The way I figure it, far more fuel savings and efficiency can be gained from eliminating cars idling in traffic (I live in NYC) by improving traffic flows or allowing engines to run at minimum revs, or by swapping SUVs that most of the time transport a single person for a smaller Civic, instead of using cars to boost their social status and show off their wealth.
But if anything, motorsports will be the place that develops alternative fuel sources. In 2003 there was a car at Le Mans that ran purely on alcohol. In the past things like seatbelts, cabin design, break systems, and other safety developments were pioneered in auto racing. Companies like Mercedes and BMW have money invested in racing, and teams that run alternative fuels gather lots of information that can be used by auto manufacturers to develop cars that run on clean burning fuels, like BMW have done with their 7 series that runs on methane.
Once there is a much stronger push for clean burning fuels in cars, data gathered from these racing teams will make it cheaper for manufacturers to switch over, and since the bottom line is king in the corporate world, any chance of a change over will be made more possible thanks partly to the contribution of racing teams.

Can we have some kind of a limit to the editorial content in these summaries? Often times they are either highly biased, or just idiotic:
there is division in the ranks of the music companies, but something to watch.
Division in the ranks would be an industry trend, and obviously something important to keep an eye on; interesting even.
So that sentence says "It is something interesting, but something interesting to watch."
Maybe it means some interesting things aren't worth watching, and this is. I dunno.
Maybe Apple should send them a cease and decist letter for shamelessly copying the i{whatever} naming scheme.

Weird. I'm able to use my old PS/2 keyboard and mouse on a single usb port using a $5 converter cable.
I suppose he should also specify all the software packages that do not run on the non running powerbook.

THIS POWERBOOK DOES NOT RUN OFFICE

Hey, this is Slashdot, the pedant capital or the Internet.
Ditto. I just saw Ocean's 12. What a God-aweful movie.
Wow.

So where do you update your port? And why do you compile twice. 'make extract' no?
Dunno about you, but when I see a full page add coming up on the next page of whichever newspaper I'm reading, most of the time I skip the entire page because I know there isn't an article to read on that page.

I came across it when D O Double G was talking to a video game version of himself. What a borefest.
There was a great program at the same time on OLN about a couple that met with a hurricane in the open sea. The man vanished in a single instant, and the woman sailed to Hawaii with a makeshift sail. Very moving and more interesting than the awards.
It sounded enticing to me.

With all the effort, its easier to do some tech gig on the side removing spyware or some such.
So when you plug an iPod in via USB, it doesn't come up as a separate drive? (Obviously I don't have one) Aren't there any hacks for that?

"is it just me or is this overkill?"
It's an investment. If Sauber feels the simulator will get them better positions on the grid, it will get them more money from the FIA and sponsors.
