It's called interest, just like banks make interest off your money when you place it in their hands. The difference being that banks give you a cut of their profits, Apple just takes more of your money in exchange for the next tech toy.
Sony's continual disdain toward customers over the past few years was the guaranteed nail in the coffin for me. My hard earned cash will go to entertainment elsewhere.
A new motorcycle is looking much more tempting, entertaining, and far more invigorating than a PS/3 could ever be.
Sorry Sony it was just too little too late, better luck next time.
I really don't understand those that celebrate the demise of albums. Those that do are damn fools who take not the time to appreciate what they have. Listening to a full album by a quality artist is not unlike taking a proverbial break to stop and smell the roses.
I agree whole heartedly with the parent post. Death of the album would be a sad day for music creativity. High quality artists put out catch singles to draw you into the album where the not so catchy but higher quality gems reside.
If the artists you listen to only put out one or two good songs per album, then you're not listening to quality artists in the first place. This is a simple cause and effect and it's your own damn fault they continue to do so because of your support for their low quality music.
I don't know about you, but I can't think of too many things worse than having my legacy associated with a meal of the vegetarian variety. Real vegetarians won't eat a caesar salad because of the eggs and sometimes chicken topings.
Of course to have a legacy you would have to have offspring, and this is slashdot where leaving your mothers basement is not only strictly prohibited, it's highly discouraged.
Hold up a second, they're just trying to be like Ceasar (except with bad spelling) too bad they didn't read the history books to see what happened to him.
It does when the excitement kicks in and the decibel meter breaks over the shrill sound that ensues. Then you are left without any hearing abilities for the rest of your life.
Sorry, it's Linux that's playing the license games, not Sun. One only needs to look at ZFS support in FreeBSD to see that (Speaking of, where's the 'ZFS On FreeBSD!' story?). Thank you, couldn't have said it better myself. In fact while reading the article I couldn't help but keep thinking if they were using FreeBSD instead of Linux they could already be playing with ZFS.
Seems like having all my passwords in a single file isn't a good idea. Of course it's a good idea if they are the passwords for important things, like the login to your 401k, bank accounts, etc. Then all you need to do is post that file here under the GPL v3 and we'll keep it safe for you.
We have analyzed tens of thousands of sites. It was a surprise to me, but over 90% of hacked sites out there are running Linux/Apache -- not Windows/IIS as most people would suspect. This falls right in line with the evidence in numerous log files over the past couple years of exploited machines attacking my firewalls.

Mod Parent Up!
This is really just another self-serving grab by Apple. To be honest I'm surprised at how many comments are blindly thanking them for this.

In this case Zonk did.
Your forgot to mention the pr0n Czar!

Ease up a bit there, he was just trying to be cool with Yoda speak, sadly it didn't work for him this time.
If that meets the minimum, then what do we need, a beowulf cluster of those to run the recommended system requirements for Vista?
You might, but if you shake it even harder you might a liquid mess to clean up afterwards.
It could be worse, it could be I.E.
Well if nothing else, it does bring new meaning to the term: gaping hole.
At least that would give them some storage space for the dual battery packs.
Can't resist...imagine a beowulf cluster of those!
Why he uses the robots legs to do it for him, of course!
