The problem with Vista is, if your machine had 2 GB or less, it ran like crap. If you had over 2 GB, it only saw the first 2 GB and still ran like crap.
Apple does not want to see a repeat of the 1980's with Microsoft. They are suing because they believe that Google, Samsung, etc truly stole their ideas to make phones. The court will decide whether that's true or not. Apple makes tons more money than anyone else in mobile phones, so that's probably not the motivator.
In the 1980s Apple tried to sue Microsoft. I ASSume they thought MS stole their ideas. For someone who doesn't want to see a repeat of the 1980, it's interesting that they're using the same tactics.
The other day, I was looking at the settings on one of my accounts and noticed that the email was one I haven't had in years. If I had tried the "email your password", I would have been SOL.
Almost as bad is when your mother and one or both of her parents is listed as a relative on Facebook, with the grandparent's last name displayed in all it's glory. Top secret, my posterior!
I "borrow" someone else's pet for that question. The people who know me might guess whose pet I use, but even they'd have trouble figuring which of the dozens of pets this person had is the answer.
I thought Apple would take this existing technology and perfect it, bring it to the masses as they have before, but no. It's just standard voice recognition technology that isn't ready for primetime, yet Apple shipped anyway.
Half a loaf. Apple did bring it to the masses. The "perfecting" part; not so much.
Actually, I also have a copy OUTSIDE the dropbox folder. That way, if an evil hacker takes over DB and overwrites my files, even if the synced copy is trashed, my other copy will be fine.
I've never had a pet. Maybe someone could guess whose pet I use for that question, but that person has had dozens of pets over the years, and I doubt that any of them would come up on a Google search.
Last time I googled myself, the MyRealName that came up wasn't me. I found someone else's FB, LinkedIn, and several miscellaneous stuff. My first post was on page 2, and was some dumb question I asked on a tech mailing list.
Eventually employers will realize that almost everybody gets drunk and wears a lampshade at some point in their lives. I am Spartacus... mooning the camera with a dildo up my ass. Then they will be forced to lower standards.

They'll only realize it after they get fired when their own drunk pics surface.
I think I saw 2-3 seasons before I'd had enough. Clark had powers except flight and no costume. I remember Monster of the Week. I think I read that he flew in the very last episode, maybe Season 10, or however long it dragged on. Probably donned his costume too, but by then I was long gone.
And, if you drink too much beer (or coke, coffee, or whatever), you can hit the pause button while you pee. At the theaters, it seems I always have to pee during the best part of the movie.

That's why I put a backup on a rocket and launched it into space. If anything happens to my backups on Earth, I can restore my data from Uranus.

I live in the middle of the drought area. Trust me, the grass really IS greener on the other side.
Doesn't sound THAT extreme. Mine bounced through 3 banks in the first few months.

"What's your childhood friend's first name?"
I'm an anti-social nerd. I didn't HAVE any childhood friends!

you really know someone named Nina. God help you if your wife is named Nina.
Siri on the other hand is safe because no real person is named Siri.
But Tom Cruise's 6 y/o daughter, Suri, is close enough to be mistaken for her.

The Colorado dude was a college guy. Clearly a liberal.
Also, pointing out, usually incorrectly, that said shooter is associated with the T-Party.
I'm still waiting on people knowing the difference between "lose" and "loose".
It's not the watermelon. It's all that fried chicken that weighs them down.

But, but, but, it's a MAC! We don't GET malware!

I think an Atom movie would come up a little short.
Smallville didn't even have Superman! It had Clark Kent. Who didn't fly. And no costume/cape.
I'm probably hoping it's the best part, because the parts I did see were disappointing. ;)
