I've seen that video over a dozen times on TV over the years, and now they tell me it was withheld all the time? Just two days ago I saw a documentary about the crash, and they showed the video 3 or 4 times (it was one of those docus where they show everything at least 3 times to save money).
Yeah, a Celeron 1.4 GHz is just the same as a Core Duo 1.83 GHz. Sure, the screen is bigger (so is the case - that's why the DVD-burner fits in), but what about the resolution? No, I'm actually asking you, because I can't find anything on that stupid Dell site. And even if you got yours $120 than what they are currently asking for it, please add back the $40 (slow) shipping and handling that's free for the Apple. I'm sure you will never need more than your 512 MB RAM anyways, or the 20G more HD, or Bluetooth, or Gig Ethernet. Well, at least you've got a build-in Modem. How long does your 29WHr battery last?
Actually, people complain more about things like this (unfixed, reported more than 3 years ago). Or when there are exploits out in the wild, and Microsoft says they won't release a fix until their monthly patchday.
How is that fucked up? It seems pretty fair to fire people for reasons such as being dicks, being stupid, being incompetent, being lazy, having "personality conflicts" with other people in the company, or maybe just demanding more than the people waiting in line for your job are asking. That's how capitalism works - you can shop for the most value for your money, and so can companies.
It wouldn't be fucked up if you could fire your boss without losing your job for the same reasons. That's how Capitalism works, when there is no free market, one side gets screwed - and when one side has total control, the market isn't free.
I work at my university now in the IS department doing support and system administration on Macs. I miss the windows calls sometimes. You can only get the "My mac thinks its 1969" call a few times before you want to throw the computer into the trash. My boss won't buy new batteries for the damn things. Mac calls are always bad. If they break, they do it in a big way.
Tell them to use a NTP-Server. Then wait untill they ask you how to do it on their Windows box.
Since when does pissing of your biggest neighbor (by suddenly demanding back the money you financed the war with between him and the big neighbor across the gulf and slant drilling for oil under his soil) count as "relying on good relations"?
Electric vehicles were invented in the mid-1800s and held the vehicular land speed record until around 1900.
BEVs were among the earliest automobiles, and before the preeminence of light, powerful internal combustion engines, electric automobiles held many vehicle land speed and distance records in the early 1900s. Most notable was perhaps breaking of the 100 km/h (62.5 mph) speed barrier by Camille Jenatzy on April 29, 1899 in his rocket-like EV named La Jamais Contente. It reached a top speed of 105.88 km/h (65.79 mph)
I'm still waiting for somebody to actually sue Power Page - namely a maker of any product similar to the rumored Asteroid product, because PP's spreading of FUD that hurt their sales.
Anyway, almost all reports (including those by "real" journalists) ignore an important part of the original ruling.
Whether he [Jason O'Grady] fits the definition of a journalist, reporter, blogger, or anything else need not be decided at this juncture for this fundamental reason: there is no license conferred on anyone to violate valid criminal laws.

III. CONCLUSION AND DISPOSITION
In this case, accepting for present purposes that Apple's allegations about trade secrets
are true, the information divulged falls squarely under the UTSA and Penal Code 499c
definitions. As such it is stolen property, just as any physical item, such as a laptop computer
containing the same information on its hard drive (or not) would be. The information remains the
same and is not transformed by its form or who receives it.9 Therefore, the Court used the
charged word "fence" to describe parties who acted as go-betweens between the generator of the
secret property and the recipients of it. Although specifically asked of counsel for movants, the
Court did not hear rebuttal to the analogy at the hearing. The bottom line is there is no exception
or exemption in either the UTSA or the Penal Code for journalists - however defined - or anyone
else.
IOW the judge ignored the argument regarding "not a real journalist" by Apple's lawyers, and would infact have made the same decision if a "real" journalist had published the documents. Which is probably why "real" journalists keep ignoring that part of the ruling. Further:
Much of the movants' papers and their oral argument stressed the public's interest in
Apple and its products. Movants miss the point. Of course the public is interested in Apple. It is
a company which has achieved iconic status. One need no further proof of this point than to
review the personal history of movant O'Grady who, according to his own declaration "has been
working with Macintosh computers since 1985... co-founded the first dedicated Apple Power
Book User Group... in the United States... has contributed articles to MacWEEK, MacWorld,
MacAddict, MacPower(Japan)...[and] written chapters for The Macintosh Bible." Movant's
Opening Brief at 4: 8-20. Mr. O'Grady is far from alone: the public has had, and continues to
have a profound interest in gossip about Apple. Therefore it is not surprising that hundreds of
thousands of "hits" on a website about Apple have and will happen. But an interested public is
not the same as the public interest.
At the hearing the Court specifically asked what public interest was served by publishing
private, proprietary product information that was ostensibly stolen and turned over to those with
no business reason for getting it. Movants' response was to again reiterate the self-evident
interest of the public in Apple, rather than justifying why citizens have a right to know the
private and secret information of a business entity, be it Apple, H-P, a law firm, a newspaper,
Coca-Cola, a restaurant, or anyone else. Unlike the whistleblower who discloses a health, safety,
or welfare hazard affecting all, or the government employee who reveals mismanagement or
worse by our public officials, the movants are doing nothing more than feeding the public's
insatiable desire for information.

So what does that give you? You still can't see the plane hitting, because it happens in the second between two frames. Whoopdy-fucking-doo.
Do I have to report to Gitmo now?
Always remember: shipping and handling is included for all Apple computers, but not for Dells.

Why exactly is "Japan is looking for the next generation supersonic flight solution"? They didn't much use the one(s) before.

And when you don't pool, you get the MIR - if you still have the USSR at hand. And Skylab.
Then we must have seen completely different tests.
Have they?
First of all, $100 is 20% more - that is quite a bit. And while the Radeon 9200 may suck, the Intel GMA 950 really does suck
For the same reasons abused women they with their men. Beats me.
One might also wonder why the description of this "new" virus sounds just like the 2+ months old Oompa-Loompa.
No, just another case of the government trying to "simply forces the parents to get involved" in raising their children.
So does Star Trek. Ohh, you mean toilets.
