Apple said today that it does not charge a production fee for iTunes LP, after an independent label in the US claimed that it was being priced out of the market for the new format.
New to Leopard is the guest account. It was created in response to the need for an
anonymous user account that can be used in circumstances where user tracking and
logging isn’t needed. Good examples of this would be a locked down visitor kiosk, a
kindergarten computer, or other systems that are configured in such a way that an
anonymous user logging in would provide more benefit than possible harm
Yeah, this looks like something most people would have activated.
There's an article claiming that users of time capsules have a lifespan of 17 months and 17 days. Not sure if there is any truth to this, but it does seem that there is more than one bad apple here.
"The average lifespan shown here is calculated from the registered dead Time Capsules. We don't want to suggest that this lifespan figure is indicative for all Time Capsules."
Or USB-IF could revoke the patent license because Palm is not following their regulations. Then Palm can be sued for patent infringement.
Which'll never happen. Palm may not have the best product now, but they had several years' head start on just about everyone. Can you imagine how many iPhone features are covered by Palm patents?
So how would that tangent USB-IF? Or an hypothetical third party with influence in the USB-IF interested in the demise of either Palm or Apple?
If this were true, why should Palm need to use a fake id to sync with itunes?

About The Missing Sync for Palm Pre
The Missing Sync works with Mac applications you already know and use â" Address Book, iTunes, iCal, Entourage and iPhoto â" to let you transfer and sync information and files between your Mac and Pre. And, you can choose what you want to sync.
The last time I messed with an iPod it was not possible to directly copy a music file and play it. I had to use iTunes on windows or MacOS (or a barely working hack on *nix) to copy the file.
So cheers to Palm, for allowing you to use iTunes to sync your Pre!
How many of the people whining that "Apple installed software on my machine" should actually be complaining that somebody hacked their Windows box - 'cause they all proudly announced they would never use anything from Apple?

They draw a graph (from the gut it seems), with volcanic events all over, often when the graph crosses the Zero line in either direction, and they conclude that volcanoes (together with "decresed solar radiation" for which they have no data) are responsible for long-time cooling?
So you are the new Wegener, and your radical theory is "It wasn't man made after all, it just happens" and your evidence is "climate always has changed"
Yeah, let's value a book about Reagan by a one line summary from the number one neo-con (read "Reagan cheerleader") magazine. Nothing could go wrong with that.
Second, (as Dr Strangelove pointed out) a doomsday machine only makes sense as a deterent if both sides know about it. Why wasn't the machine made public earlier when the Soviets thought that the US was about to launch an attack?
Well, because Reagan was already publicly announcing several plans to disable any retaliation to an US first strike, which was the whole reason to build the thing in the first place. If the Russians had announce it existed, Reagan would have just announced some plan to disable it - thus it would not have worked the way it was intended to: to convince the Soviet Generals they would have a way to retaliate.
The whole movie is about the Soviets and a secret Doomsday device. The GP was quoting it because ti is both amusing and relevant.
Yeah, it's totally not about an American General who thinks he can win by a nuclear first strike (knowing that the "Missile Gap" was actually to the advantage of the US).
Kind of scary that revenge was valued higher then deterrence and seems self defeating. I'm no vulcan, but seems illogical.:-/
Not anywhere near as scary as the fact that the Joint Chiefs of Staff were so sure they could retaliate that they actually considered striking first to "win" WW3. The Russians were not paranoid.
I still wonder were alive in this world after all the shit humans have pulled off...
Especially given that Perimeter came online in 1985 and Chernobyl happened in 1986. I wonder what their sensors are looking for and what the thresholds are.
Well, obviously not a rather small fire and some radioactivity. Chernobyl wasn't that spectacular.
Somewhere I see a Russian General planning a first strike to prevent you damn Americans from building such a "new bomb" (which you would only build to do a first strike without retaliation with it).

not true.
an average user is more likely to get hit by it as they are more likely to have the Guest account "feature" active.
Ohh, would they? http://images.apple.com/education/docs/it/Apple-ClientManagementWhitePaper.pdf

10.3? That's way older than Vista - and yet you chose to ignore the whole "Vista incapable" disaster.
That's because it's irrelevant. Even the "disaster" as you put it, was only a result of using absolute bottom of the barrel hardware configurations.
Which Microsoft had recommended before. But I can see why you say that is irrelevant.
I hope your right, but me thinks AT&T will just shape traffic so VOIP doesn't work well al la Comcast torrenting.
The best way to "shape traffic so VOIP doesn't work well" is to not shape traffic. Are you going to blame AT&T for not doing anything?

Of course they wouldn't be able to keep them secret, just like the Nuclear Weapons Employment Policy has been declassified.
Both sides spent themselves dry funding responses to every conceivable attack
No, only one side did.
Have you looked at the deficit Reagan piled up?
