On: I Believe You Have My Stapler

Hey, people made a fair bit of money spray-painting ordinary black staplers red. Quoth the article:

When real-life Miltons found out they couldn't buy one from the manufacturer, they simply made their own, creating a thriving market on eBay for Swinglines spray-painted red.

I wonder if Boston will make a red stapler... :]

Salty's not my strong point

On: Will Earth Expire By 2050?

I'd need to take this article with a big grain of salt. A really, really big grain of salt.

So much so that I'd deplete the earth of its salt reserves just trying to accumulate what would be equivalent to that one big grain of salt. ;)

Well, it looks like Verizon's finally open to being sued for monopolistic practices.

Lawyers to Verizon: "Can you hear us now? Good..." :]

Let's not forget the new calculator.

On: Calculators vs. PDAs in the Classroom

Recall that TI is releasing a calculator (Personal Learning Tool) with a desktop-like navigation system. That calc, if anything, shows how closely they're starting to come together.

At least it's built on TI-89/92+ architecture. I can play all of my games on three calculators now.

That's a lotta power!

Re:Article Says:

On: Pardon, Is This Your File?

I believe you're referring to the case Softman Products Company, LLC v. Adobe. The decision basically states that software bundled with another product can be unbundled and sold separately if you haven't used it at all.

The ruling was made in November of last year, however - I'm not sure whether or not it's been appealed since then.

No, not at all. In fact, it's probably more secure there than with Passport. :]

So, what happens when the universe crashes?

On: PCs Pilfered, Paralyzing Populace

Pernicious people plundered PCs providing parkway profluence producing paralyzing predicaments?

Preposterous! :]

I guess they saved a lot by not producing content.

On: G4: The Pong Channel?

One whole week of Pong?

That ought to be enough time for G4's top executives to flee south of the border with suitcases full of cash, wouldn't you think? :]

Celine Dion, eh?

On: Sony Intentionally Crashes Customers' Computers

Are you sure it's the protection? I would say that the computers they tested it on had good taste, that's all. :)

CPAN? D'oh.

On: CPAN Shifts Focus

I thought that said C-SPAN was shifting its focus. I would've known that was an April Fools joke then - they wouldn't be caught dead broadcasting anything interesting. :]
