Not probably. Apple would be giving the $100 worth of iTMS away at a loss.. remember, Apple is selling those 99 cent songs essentially at cost and has no real profit margin to speak of. Selling the iPod for $199 with music has roughly the same loss as just selling the thing for $100 and not giving the RIAA a cut.
Actually, most LCD projectors need to run their bulbs at near-full intensity in order to produce pure white light, for accurate color reproduction. If you invent an ultra-compact light source that's low temperature AND produces as much light as a projector bulb you'll be a rich man. And don't forget that a lot of LCD projectors are used in illuminated rooms, so they need to compete with ambient lighting..
The article mentions that TI believes the degradation is due to the intensity of the heat and light used in projectors. After all, a projector requires many many many times the candlepower of an LCD display's backlight. So I think we're safe:)
Telemarketers are prohibited from calling you on a cell phone because FCC regulations bar them from doing something that places the charge on the person receiving the call. It's the same reasoning behind the ban of fax-based advertising (there was a court case on that a couple months back) and anti-spam legislation.
Actually, yea I HAVE tried to chuck a garbage can. It took 5 weeks of leaving it outside with a sign saying "take me, too!" before the Sanitation Engineer took the damn thing.

This has been discussed before. You aren't charged for the cost of AOL cd delivery, so it's not the same as spam.
IIRC, the google toolbar actually monitors where you go in order to improve the search capabilities. There's a little meter on it for "Page Rank" and according to Google that rating is based on their monitoring statistics or somesuch.
it WOULD be more difficult though, if the cards were swiped and checked using some form of biometrics, such as a quick finger print verification (againt an official database of legit cardholders)

Funny, the site doesn't load in mozilla, only internet explorer.
No, the same methods that prevent alteration could also be used to preserve information on focus.

Parallax would make sense. That's how most (all?) optical rangefinders work.
