From the photo on Apple's web site, it looks like the iPod plugs into a wire in the glove compartment and that's it...there is no special cradle to hold the device. They should have come up with something to secure the iPod inside the glove compartment and prevent it from whipping around.
OK, I'll bite...my 12" iBook is tiny, tough and responsive. Apple's integration of the OS and hardware make it feel like I'm using a "tangible device" (ie a stereo, refrigerator, fax machine, copier), rather than using an abstracted operating system doing a balancing act on top of hardware.
Will your fridge have a flesh-like ass converged onto the front of it so that I can kick it when it tells me what I can or can't buy? Well, maybe when we get the "semantic web" stuff like that will work as expected.
FYI, "Night of the Living Dead" is in the public domain and you can get it for free at archive.org...kind of odd for a film that came out in 1968, but I'm not complaining.
But you don't even give the attendant your keychain speedpass, so you don't need to give him your watch. In a full service station (like everyone in NJ) all you do is;
1. tell the attendant how much gas you want 2. touch the tiger or pegasus on the pump with your speedpass 3. there is no step 3!

Tivo is in compliance with the GPL. You can download the source code at tivo.com/linux. They'll even send you a CD with the source (for the nominal cost of shipping). *And* they refer to Linux as Gnu/Linux on their site!
Exactly...keep in mind that *Dell* wanted to install BeOS alongside Windows. AFAIK, Dell wasn't about to install something like that if there wasn't good driver support. The only thing that held them back was MS restricting them from setting up a dual boot system. That was the kind of solid, antitrust stuff the Justice Department should have focused on, not some vague bullshit with Netscape & Sun.
In other news, I finally got part of my "Be vs MS" lawsuit settlement proceeds just recently.
If that is the case, it sounds like you would own the copyright on the data you create/design. In the case of a building, since it cannot be exported, that still sounds like a service you're paying for. However, does Linden also reserve the right to use what you create in other endeavours?
Answer to a & b: You don't own shit. You're paying for a service to maintain some bits on a server that says "Smidge's character in the game can hold onto these coordinates in a grid."
We have a $xx,xxx annual subscription to the Bloomberg Professional service (think: closed, "semantic web" network dedicated to the world of finance). When you're paying that kind of money, is it any surprise that they'll throw in a computer with the deal? Of course, they are actually providing a service (their vast, continuously updated database), whereas an OS or a static piece of software is essentially a product.
Go to the website for Regal Cinemas (owns Regal, United Artists and Edwards Theaters) and you can buy all the tickets you want (even good for premiers) for $6.50 each if you pay with an American Express Card.
I believe their state assembly laughed the lawmaker who proposed that law out of the room. They did not want to become the laughing stock of the country.

Bulleted lists are done in wordprocessors. I use Excel heavily and have never seen any facilities for bullet lists.
The downside is that you'll have to pay Microsoft a patent fee to use your skin as a conductor for the electricity.
Just put an Apple logo sticker next to that big "R" sticker and you'll hardly tell the difference!

Hey, "Shadow Out of Time" was one of my favorite HP Lovecraft stories, too! Good idea!

Obviously, those editors do not have spell checkers
