as anybody who works for the post office can tell you there's not a lot of arrogant pride around there. Our current president wantts to take the USPS and turrn it into a private business, effectively killing the perpetuation of consistent and federally mandated service at regulated prices.
As for a shitty company that makes even shittier games....well......
Yeah, what I like about TiVo is that you can rate things yourself and through your recording habits. Then you get to choose if the TiVo will dynamically record programs for you or just make suggestions buried in the "Pick to record" menu.
There isn't any fiscal problem when the TiVo happens to record an episode of Oprah, but the minute my cell phone is booking pedicures for me that shit gets tossed away.
1) Apple Corps. and the lawsuit with the Beatles publishing company over the music biz thing. This could rear its head back up in coming months because of iTMS
2) Firewire. Apple MADE firewire, but because they refused to let anybody use firewire as the name of the device all these odd names like IEEE1394, i.Link, and others crowded the market. Later on Apple wised up and said that Firewire was so generic now that anybody can use it to describe IEEE1394 devices.
As if the registration wasn't crowded and bogged down enough, now we have to put up with the slashdot crowd killing the server as well.
This year there are 2,000 spots avaliable in the BYOC for anybody that signs up. Also, the venue has been changed from a convention center in Mesquite to the Adam's Mark Hotel/Convention center right in the heart of Dallas, Texas.

Wal-Mart can be pretty despicable at times. My dad's big in his postal union and they're always talking about Wal-Mart (very anti-union)
For a while they told workers that they'd "really appreciate" it and that it'd "up the stock price" if they would stay after their shift and work for free for an hour or two.
Well, yes, playing legit is much more fun and challenging.....I play legit too
However, having to do a street race 200 times because racing games just aren't your forte isn't fun. When it halts progression of the storyline then it's just a pain in the ass on an otherwise brilliant game.
I've just finished my first year in college, now taking summer classes.
When I graduated from high school last May was a 12" iBook. Later on I bought an iPod and an Olympus camera with all of my graduation money.
Don't use a palm, or try to type notes during class. Not only can it be noisy if you are a real hard-hitter on your keyboard like me, but in a dark classroom the light from the laptop makes it hard to focus on the class for everybody else sitting behind you.
I suggest using the iBook or laptop for typing things up, plus you can use it next to a wireless hotspot or plug it into campus ethernet at any time. I have to iPod for walking between classes or waiting for a prof that tends to err on the side of being late to class. Finally, take your notes on paper with a pen or pencil. If you think that it will help you then after class move them into Word or something on the laptop so that you have a hardcopy for later.
Writing on paper is still the easiest way to take notes in class, even with hotkeys and stuff. You can erase and re-structure your notes on the fly without having to muck around with changing modes, drawing with a touch pad, or other uncomfortable and time-consuming methods on a laptop.
I got an iBook in May 2002 for Graduation from my parents. I used it everywhere.
Around December I was sitting in my dorm at college and leaned the chair back on the power plug (the part that goes into the ibook with the colored ring) and squashed it. I tried to make it circle again and it fit with some pushing. I got home for xmas break and one day went to pull out the power adapter from the ibook. The bare leads ripped out of the adapter, beckoning me with certain death at the hands of Apple.
I called AppleCare, as I was still under my 1yr factory warranty. They sent me a brand new adapter in a postage-paid returnable box. All was well.
Around March my new power adapter stopped working on me. I did the same thing and got a brand new one in the mail. Soon thereafter my batter y started holding no more than about a 20 minute charge. After calling AppleCare and talking with some awesomely helpful techs I got a brand new ibook battery for free in a postage-paid returnable box.
Finally, last month my hard drive started making a "clicking" noise when I tried to edit this one song in iTunes. I called AppleCare and they advised me to bring it to the Knox Street Apple Store to get it looked at. I brought it in and they told me that the hard drive was on its last legs (which I already figured out by the clicking, but wanted to be sure) It was sent off on Friday, May 2 right before the big iPod party. I got it back on the wendesday the next week.
I looked at the work order attached, and not only had they given me a new hard drive, but also swapped me out a new logic board...just to be nice:)
Conclusion: I rave about Apples and how they work so great, but one of the best parts is that when they don't work, the support is a dream.
And "on-demand" not only kills any chance of xferring to something like an iPod, but I'll bet that the bandwith fees could have the possibility to skyrocket for Real if it took off (which it won't)
I don't know who bought the ad space for Bonzi and their like, but seeing their "Your computer is broadcasting an IP address!" or the "Your computer is vulnerable to virii!" on my Mac always freaked me out. The stupid people ran boxes in the windows GUI on mac sites for jebus sakes
eeek! How the hell did Windows get installed on my mac??? Why are there these ugly boxes showing up???
However, I was concerned about this dangerous "IP address" it mentions, so I still downloaded it for that protection...
Well, what would make more sense is to have it as an option for university housing, not something that other students can get access to.
You live on campus, you get access. It could be sold as a perk for living there. Speeds for downloading right off the fiber-connected campus server would be phenomenal. People living off-campus would just have to use KaZaa.
ye hackers living within the borders of the United States shall soon fall under the tyrannical rule of the cybersecurity czar! Your constant day to day actions will be monitored by private-sector companies that control the entire Internet, told who and what to sniff by their grand ruler! All Hail The Grand Czar!....what? there are computers outside of the US borders? Bah! We are at war with Oceania and have already eradicated these rogues operating under the control of the terrorist Linus!
It's marketing spin, that's all. You live with it.
Incidentally, I hear that the Weasel will actually have a total of 7 games released for it over its lifetime! Yup, 2 Zeldas, 2 Marios, a Wario, Super Smash Brothers, and Splinter Cell
Lest we all forget about the movie industry, which has successfully managed to implement a ratings system that many people can agree on and has become common practice, while at the same time there is absolutely no legal involvement in the process. If a 6 year old sees Terminator 3 then no law was broken.
It's a good thing that the movie industry has such a powerful lobby to protect themselves against retarted legislation like this. The video game companies need a similar legislative body.

Actually, the 12" pbook was out pretty damn fast.....my parents picked one up about 2 weeks after macworld.
the 17" just took about 2 months to fully ramp up production.
Apple, if anybody, knows about trademarked terms:
1) Apple Corps. and the lawsuit with the Beatles publishing company over the music biz thing. This could rear its head back up in coming months because of iTMS
2) Firewire. Apple MADE firewire, but because they refused to let anybody use firewire as the name of the device all these odd names like IEEE1394, i.Link, and others crowded the market. Later on Apple wised up and said that Firewire was so generic now that anybody can use it to describe IEEE1394 devices.

my answer for those missions was almost always cheating. I don't buy racing games because I DON'T LIKE RACING GAMES!

Tank Spawn, blow up other cars, box them in, whatever. Then do the race at 20mph.
