Some directors have "final say" in the contract for a movie, so that they can refuse to let a movie be published, edited... most big directors require that in a contract. This has been the source of many disputes, and why many great movies never made it to network television (which has to censor content).
That's one motive.
The second is simply being stupid, and wanting control. Considering this technology could be made so that it doesn't allow for easy copying of content, what's the harm?
It doesn't get much more than 1:45 of battery life, though advertised for much more.
All IBM Thinkpads are advertised to have real good battery life. None have them. It's bad (or good depending on how you look at it) marketing, combined with real power hungry computers.

If this were Microsoft. They would just give developers an idea how to structure a work around until a service pack could be made....
Mozilla folks pull the entire program rather than tell webmasters to patch up... and plan to fix it ASAP.
I appreciate that.
They aknowledge the problem ASAP, and are responding. And pulled the download and created some waves so it's known and 1.2 is imediately disposed of...
Microsoft would deny the bug for 6 months, give a work around... then eventually fix it.
I have found it to be a bit slugish (compaired to OS 9) on my B&W G3.
But playing with it on a G4, I haven't noticed a decrease in speed.
I think that Apple focused there time on optimizing performance for G4's, especially with AGP graphics (Quartz Extreme) and didn't focus on G3's as much.
Hence iBooks and older (non-G4) iMacs being slow, and giving this wide conception that the OS is very slow.
G3's are the most available Macs right now (Libraries, Schools, etc.) because they were cheap, and very popular (iMac). As a result all these machines are the most likely test bed for those who don't on Macs.
I would like to know how people see XP on a Pentium II with 64MB RAM? Slugish?
Remember the original iMac didn't ship with much RAM... And a 233 MHz G3 processor. And there are a ton of those systems out there.

I can see to motives behind this:

I think we should seek reparations from Telemarkets for making us consumer slaves. We deserve to be compensated for all that lost time!

I recommend don't let this crap get on your computer in the first place. Then don't worry about removal...

May I recommend Spyware blaster to do that for you:

Seems to work real good.
Before you know it we will be told not to eat the mints many resturaunts have in the bathroom :(
Serously, they pay for what they can do for free?
NAI could have used the technology behind Deersofts software, SpamAssassin for free! But they still bought it.
How wierd. How do companies justify this stuff?

Ironic? Coincidence? Intentional?
I tried it the other day on Win XP, it seems so slugish... not the system itself (hardware wise)... Anyone else experience this?
That's great that they handled being /.'d that well... but I can't reach them now...
Back to the drawing board.
I'm picturing one of those baby books with the rattle and mini-horn built right into the page....
Does it really feel like a paper book? Or a toy?
If microsoft would work to bring DirectX compatibility to other platforms, and make it a gaming platform, I think it would like it a lot more....
It's not bad per say...
just not compatible. Forces me to use windows for gaming.

Considering how large that battery is. Your laptop isn't really that portable.
...Or if there is no power carry an extra iBook battery or two.
Why not just plug in to a wall....
That thing looks huge.

How much more heat will those 7200 RPM drives generate?
Would love to put one of them in my Thinkpad, which really stinks with my 4200RPM drive (from factory)....
The drive runs constantly. A 7200 RPM drive would really make things much smoother.
But will it generate to much heat for current laptops? Is it something for only new laptops?
