I had this happen to me too. They pretty much refused to sell "we have 2 copies" to "we can't find anymore copies" when I refused their pre-optimized bullshit. Went to another store to buy the same thing. Their business model seems to be sell to gullible customers or refuse the sale.
Biggest thing when getting a mouse is the comfort level. Fitting is part of the comfort but not if it comes at the cost of a jagged surface or things poking you in awkward places.
Also how is the durability? The more moving parts anything has the more likely it wont last very long.
How and why should they? Funny story my moms IE had a huge toolbar filled with crap so I tried to remove it but she complained! she whined that she likes the huge toolbar because it had useful stuff on it like auto form filling or some nonsense. different people different things.
My experience with captcha is they are too focused on being the perfect system, to the point where it goes from a simple annoyance to almost impossible to access whatever it's protecting.
Facebook may be the next Windows -- a dominant, proprietary platform on which everyone else's apps run. Add the absence of end-user control of the applications and data (including privacy), and it's antithetical to the free, open, and end-user controlled Internet on which it's built. How will the next Zuckerberg build his application? Not so easily, since he'll be dependent on the closed, proprietary systems and data of Facebook, doing only the things that they permit and only when, where, and how they want it.
Mozilla helped save us from a closed, proprietary web browser (one reason Facebook could blossom). With that battle won and a proliferation of browsers and Microsoft adopting open standards, they are struggling a bit to find a mission. I wish they would turn to their attention to the next issue of the open Internet, a free and open social network.
Ugh, they said the same thing about google and apple and they co-exist with windows just fine. Netscape used to be the only proprietary browser until IE came along (unless you liked lynx). I expect facebook to become yesterdays news in a couple of year when the next big thing comes rolling along.
Granted I havent paid much attention to this movie but what's the big deal about yet another rags to richers internet story? Bill Gates? The napster guy? Mark Cuban? Google founders? Many people have become billionaires from internet ideas.. what's so special about this one?
I think the analogy was meant like "hey look there's this other company that makes billions of dollars in revenue and profit, makes similar products that isn't getting any attention. It's only a matter of time before they strike it big again.".
I agree with you that the wording is a little too out there, maybe "lurking in the shadows, waiting to strike" would be more appropriate.
Give it one or 2 years and something new will come along to replace it. Remember myspace (lol) or RIM (lol)? The only thing that surprises me about Apple is how they found millions of people willing to throw money away at frivilous toys in this "tough" economy.
Everyone assumes aliens will be far more technologically superior to us. If we happened on an Alien planet with prehistorical man, our UAVs still wouldn't be able to tell who their leader is.

There's no such thing as too little too late. You either have a good product or you don't.
Yea I was like wtf. You really don't see a lot of these, maybe 1 or 2 at certain airports but it's hardly newsworthy.
Imagine if an FBI agent shows up to your house and hold you responsible for a missing tracking device you didn't know was on your car.

Is it just me or do researchers like stating the obvious.
I can tell you're lying because Wyatt Earp is dead.

Seriously that makes no sense. Why would I sue a company I am emulating? You sue when someone steals something FROM you.. *looks at google*
The stock market is so dumb. You cut the rating for a billion dollar profit company to neutral? lol
Still waiting on the mac version of directx

They didn't want YOU to access their servers?
You can block my 200 fart apps but I only need one vuvuzela app..
Hackers target the audience, and that means whatever is popular. Apple is popular so it gets hacked earlier. Bragging rights etc

This is proof that eating dog food can kill you.

When the Alien utters the phrase "TAKE ME TO YOUR LEADER" we know where to send it to.
Are you saying Aliens might be more susceptible to T&A?
I hear a lot of illegal aliens come from Mexico
The character selection screen will have two choices. Micheal Jackson and a Little White boy.
