I'm really getting sick and tired of people bashing on people who believe in Creationism. What's the big deal that I (and millions of other people) choose to believe that there is a god out there. It doesn't mean we don't believe in science or that we think evolution is satan's tool to fool the masses. There is absolutely no reason that belief in God cannot go hand in hand with science. Some people, like myself, believe that belief in God DOES go hand in hand with science.
Anyone who still uses IE is living dangerously. Firefox is like a condom for the internet. If you're surfing around without, you're just asking to catch something.
When I first read the title I was thinking this was going to be a personal finance management app of sorts. Would be pretty cool. Although I wouldn't exactly want that information to be saved on Google servers.
I mean, poor little Apple has not got its share by illegal means unlike some but by making better products, so its entitled to it.
Apple is a large corporation, just like any other, they are concerned about their bottom line.
Who would want to run an iTune on anything other than an iPod anyway, it would be like putting a lawnmower engine in a Ferrari.
I think you have your analogy backwards. You're saying that taking an iTune, converting it and playing it on another player is better than playing it in an iPod.
We don't want choice of what machines to play music on, we just want one good machine.
Speak for yourself, I want to have a choice as to what hardware I play my music on.
The unique selling point is the integrated experience, its the whole system, the iPod, the iMac, the iTunes, its not any one of them, its the whole thing.
I can see your point, but then, why does Apple have iTunes for Windows?
They are no more expensive than comparably equipped competitive products, its just that they sell for more because they give you more.
If they are "no more expensive than comparbly equipped competitive products", then why did you say they "sell for more"? They have a higher price tag because iPod is the most popular brand name portable MP3 player.
Anyway, you can play them on other machines if you really really want to, though why you would is beyond me.
Thanks for your approval.;)
Well, now someone got all that out of the way, maybe we could have a discussion...? Because the implications are quite serious, not just for music. For the whole lockin approach. Once one country adopts this, first, it will be impossible to contain within its borders. Second, it will be impossible to contain it to music. It could get real interesting.
Finally something we agree on. It could get realllly interesting.
"and no i'm not going to connect my computer up to the stereo becase evry time someone IM's me or I get an email or windows breaks you get horible alert noises that would drive everyone insane!"
If sites block them, that saves the porn sites that are wholly within.xxx from having to implement those silly "click here if you are under 18" portal windows.
So, following your logic, this would mean that they would be able show the Good Stuff on the front page instead of having to use stars to cover up the naughty bits?
Well, John already had the lead and didn't want to give Daler the opportunity to come back on him so close to the end of the game. He shot out the light on his first pass around and came back to hide in the dark. When John did this the entire room booed and yelled "camper". He did win quite a bit of cash though.:)

Does this not technically contribute to global warming?
Thresh didn't play Romero and it wasn't Romero's car he took, it was Carmack's.
... and that's after SP2.

Umm. We've got legal porn, cigarettes and alcohol.
It would take roughly 4 hours to transfer 300gb at 20mbs.

It seems as though their plan worked, check out their Alexa pagerank since the lawsuit gained attention.

It's not too late my friend. Captain Kirk was assimilated and still came back, you can too! Your thinking is exactly what they want you to think.

Global warming?
Where are my mod points when I need them. :sigh:
So does this show a plausible reason why most American Quake 4 players performed so low compared to European players at the Winter CPL event in 2005?
"and no i'm not going to connect my computer up to the stereo becase evry time someone IM's me or I get an email or windows breaks you get horible alert noises that would drive everyone insane!"
You know you can turn those noises off, right?
Cherry, seriously.
True. I guess I had been hoping for a funny moderation. Ah well.

Yes! Now my porn downloads don't have to stop when I leave the hotspots in the airport and get on the flight.
Yes! One step closer to finding the cure for cancer. /me lights another Marlboro...
