All value is "perceived value," isn't it? A faster clock speed is of no use to me if I don't make use of it. If a nicer interface make me more productive than a faster processor/graphics card/whatever, doesn't the value, to me, go up?
It seems wrong to say that valuing style and a nice interface is somehow less valid than other factors.
Somehow, I trust McDonalds a little more than my own government. You think that because the BBC is publically funded it is any less susceptible to the same failings as corporate media?
Thank you for fulfilling your own sig's prophecy. Should the day come that the Feds start knocking down your door for thought crimes, you'll be glad we have all of those "wackos."
Before you go bashing an operating system you've never used-- Bluetooth file transfer works flawlessly, and I've used it many times. The keyword in the feature you mentioned is securely--I'm guessing it encrypts all of your files while they are beamed over the air. This is hardly a 'bug fix' but an important new feature.
More than likely, the NPTS will see the extravagant claims Sony puts on the box by using low-quality sample ATRACs, disregard the fine print, buy it because it seems like a better value, then take it home and wonder why the hell it's taking HOURS to convert their existing MP3s to Sony's format.
Don't you mean "I was an IT director back in 1996 when LCDs were still shitty, but since then I've been fired off because I'm an antagonistic and self-important fuckwad"?
Do you actually think law enforcement would do anything for the developer in this case? If he wants recompense, he has to do something himself. This case might have been an extreme, but honestly, the courts are too busy with violent crime to worry about software piracy (unless you're Microsoft).
Musicmobs is an awesome website and I'm glad Apple is going to start giving you a cut. Just today, my friend got a $20 gift certificate from his office and he asked me how he should spend it. I of course pointed him to the Musicmobs Recommends feature.
I'm in the process of converting my >100 songs as an insurance policy. Suppose Apple's music store, ten years down the road, goes belly up? If I've authorized 3 computers and one dies, I'm screwed. I doubt the RIAA will give Apple or its users carte blanche rights to use the songs without any limits.
This is also great for people like me with audiobooks that take up lots of space. I've always wanted to convert them to a lower bitrate but FairPlay doesn't let me.
Peter: Boy, the business world sure is funny. *cut to scene from Dilbert* Wally: What do you call it when an employee moves from middle management all the way to upper management? Dilbert: I don't know. What do you call it? Wally: A promotion. Dilbert: Oh. Thanks. *long pause* Here's a memo. *Dilbert turns and walks off screen, and after a pause, Wally walks off*
Peter: Well, sometimes the business world is funny.
You're disgusting. In the face of a disaster, there's no such thing as Republicans or Democrats, only your neighbors losing their houses.
Your partisanship in an issue that has nothing to do with politics has made me physically ill. Hopefully some day you'll have to suffer through the same thing.
He's not talking about disclosing shipments of new computers, though that could be a big deal to management, I suppose.
Rather, he's talking about disclosing the layout of the campus. For security reasons, this knowledge could be very helpful for industrial spies or thieves.

Especially the site administrators...
Sorry! An unexpected error has occurred.
This error has been forwarded to MySpace's technical group.
I'm at the Jack in the Box on Campus. No sign of them yet...

Can you imagine a beo-woof cluster of these?
The AC is right, sabacc was a card game.
The actual name is Dejarik Holochess.
That sounds exactly like AirPort Express with AirTunes. I have one in my dorm, and I can tell you it is
a) convenient
b) a good way to impress chicks.
I highly recommend it to anyone that uses iTunes on a laptop.

Is there anything Tycho and Gabe can't do?
Be funny?
Well, if people can play them on their iPod, possibly quite a bit from larger iPod sales.

That's his point... your eyes have to go in focus to read the HUD and out of focus to see where you're going. Talk about headache inducing.

It's working in this version of Safari, bucko.

That's not insightful. Read what he said... even after removing the offending content the professor still threatened a lawsuit.
Just because your craptacular browser lacks features does not make you any better than anyone else.
You may miss out on all of the great "features" of IE, but you also miss out on lots of other things--like, say, decent CSS support.
There ARE browsers that block those annoying things, too, that still render ten times better than your crappy iCab.

Nobody is listing the game on eBay, which is his point... little availability with strong demand yields higher prices.
Basic supply and demand people.
Insightful my ass.
No, no corruption going on. Unless by corruption you mean "invention by a Montreal professor and institution by the French government."
