is there any human out there who can watch a full dutch tv ad-block?
There *is* a law that forbids Dutch TV-channels to have more than 12 minutes of commercials every hour. But guess which newsblock-at-22:30-channel justdoesn'tcare?
Those who view HTML-based e-mail have similar problems - any spam you open with a blank, embedded image link (provided you view images) will result in the spammer instantly obtaining vast amounts of data about you.
The worse thing is that those 'images' are in fact just asp or php scripts (with binary output of a 1x1 transparent gif) that can be used for sending all sorts of information. 'http://spam.com/white.gif?id=34512' can give them as much information as replying to the spam.
That's why you shouldn't load external images from e-mails you don't trust.

Same old story as 25 years ago, when everyone predicted that video was about to replace textbooks. And later on, when multimedia CD-ROMs were all the rage. Sure, flashdrives have some uses, but the only thing that will replace textbooks will be a high-contrast, high-resolution, extremely durable, easy, low-power, cheap e-book reader....
Look on the bright side. Three years ago, investors would have been throwing money their way without a pause.
Three years ago (five years, actually) investors *did* throw money their way. At least one of the guys of this project was part of Eazel, the company that aimed for world domination with Nautilus, Gnome's file manager.
So the inventor of the microprocessor dies and suddenly the definition of 'small box' for computer components is again reduced too 'fits in a big room'....
You mean that I can't even use a virusscanner on that box? I don't understand it. Those people always tell me to use Linux because it's more secure, but I can't even find a virusscanner or other security software for it...:(
Why? The speakers you'll get with a $300 pc are only good for the annoying sounds of the OS and apps, and are not usable for music. They'd better spend those 5$ on something I won't throw/give away....
Maybe they only let Intel make a G5-platform with Centrino technology for their Powerbook and Mac Mini systems?

They invented shortcut keys for that. The only problem is that most people don't read manuals and don't want to spend time on setting up their phone, ending up with browsing through multiple menus multiple times a day, because they bought overly complex phones because all their friends have them too (i've read a review of such a phone with 580 menu options! insane!).
I have my phonebook, alarm, calculator and new message functions all one keypress away, and because reading messages wasn't available for the shortcut keys, that one is three keypresses away. Fortunately that's three times the same key.
The only annoying thing about my phone (Samsung SGH-C100) is that the (totally unrelated) phonebook and escape/back functions are under the same key.

11. Flash can steal keyboard shortcuts, so that F3, F5, Ctrl-E, Ctrl-L, Ctrl-W, Ctrl-[0-9], Ctrl-Tab, Backspace and so on don't work anymore.

I'm not surprised if Google buys Ubuntu sooner or later. It'll give them an OS for their office-suite. Exactly what Microsoft had back in '95.
