Apple is not a computer company, it's a fashion company. As long as Apple or the iPod is considered 'cool' it doesn't matter if the competition has twice the battery life and three times the functionality. Even if it looks better and has better usability. Apple = cool = more chance to date a bikini model => we buy iPod
Besides that: these are AMERICAN patents. such patents can only be enforced in the US. AFAIK asia does not even recognise software patents, let alone american ones
If I can't run my copy of *work program from 1998* (read: game) on the latest version of windows, I'd end up not using the latest windows, costing microsoft another sale.
Didn't MS buy VirtualPC so that you can easily run old windows versions inside longhorn?
It was probably one of those spacers that sit between the motherboard and the case. these things drop off easily when lifting the mobo from the back plate
Does anyone have an idea how all this phone traffic is going to affect the load on the entire internet? I assume it's UDP but stil... I have the feeling the backbone routers are busy enough already with all the other traffic
I only suggested glass because it might look better. Is there that much difference in heat properties between glass and clay? I guess glass is a supercooled liquid so...
It seems like you truely do not understand what you are working with.
First of all, clay is porous, so water can evaporate from the entire surface of the clay pot. This is an essential element of the cooling method. Second, glass is not a supercooled liquid. It is merely a substance that does not solidify well.

THe glass has to high an insulating capacity for this to work. Furthermore the evaporation of the ater will not siffiuce to cool this until the evaporating surface is very big, which in your case it isn't
Plutonium is so dangerous because it can get into your lungs and cause lung cancer. If a shuttle carrying these rovers would explode during takeoff, the plutonium would fall out over an enormous area causing lung cancer to millions.
If It came with 98, then it has a legal license for 98, no need to buy a new one. If I donate it to a charity, then I donate my license.
Because the license is not tranferable.
This is mentioned nearly everywhere. It is in fact part of the license agreement to which the orinigal computer owner, err.. agreed. It does not matter whether both of us think that that is stupid
How the hell did they manage to clone the registry into this? Or maybe a better question is; WHY create a clone of something that only power users actually use, which does totally not reflect the inner workings of the OS, and, even in the case of an OS that actually DOES use a registry (windows), is the number-one user-unfriendly admin tool ever made? This fake-linux-registry is going to confuse people while enabling them to bugger up their system without having a clue what happened.

If the software is installed via social engineering, the zombie can just 'phone home' and the router wil happily pass the traffic.

How about making this a technology review and also post the competition.
e.g. the one from HP that does the same thing

How about the iRiver iHP340, which acts as a USB host so you can download from your camera, AND plays Ogg:

And then think of the amount of porn ads you'll be coming accross finding all those crackz
Oh well, it's up there now =)
Yes, I saw that of course...
My point is with the bottom part which is not hanging flat as you'd expect from a windless environment
Can someone explain why the flag in pic 2 seems to be waving? It's not like there is an atmosphere around there is it?

What's good about it?
It's a bloody rock far away. The money spent on this NASA PR stunt would have been better spent elsewhere.
This is such bullshit

Don't you nerds get it??
I don't WANT to understand how my computer operates internally, just as much as I don't give a toss for how my car or my phone works.
I just want to type a friggin letter.

No, because he is not in the USA
Contrary to what many americans believe, US laws are not applicable to the civilised world
Just like doing that with a normal digital camera and a tripod so you can have longer exposure
the lens is not the reason why this is not possible
intentionally breaking the seal to throw a wrench
Yep, just like when someone breaks the seal on the box in which we all throw the voting cards.
PC with a webcam (aka 'geek mirror')
There was a userfriendly cartoon on this but I can't find it
Meanwhile, the Netherlands has had electronic voting for over 10 years now
