Apple does say that they cannot find any evidence to support the claim, unlike how the story here portrays the issue. But why would anybody trust anything on/. anymore?
What a dumb, misleading title for an article. Well, welcome to the anti-Apple bandwagon/.
Seems funny that this "story" is being presented the way that it is. Lotus Notes on an iPhone is a web app through the browser, this has absolutely nothing to do with the App Store, as is implied by the twit writing the story about the article. Apple has nothing to do with allowing or disallowing Lotus Notes to run since it's not an app in the app store.
I'd rather have Google read my mail than have an operating system sift through my personal information and then send it back to the mothership.

I agree with you 100%. I've really enjoyed playing this game. Accurate controls that I haven't had any real trouble with. The lock-on system seems to work fine for me. I've gotten gold in all the levels except one already. I really don't understand the reviewers either. There is a certain level way to hold the controller, which may be messing with people's sense of how to hold the thing, that might enter into how the game handles. The complaint about the "turbo" and the "180 degree turn" cropped up a couple of times in the beginning, but once I realized how to do it correctly, I never had another issue with it.
Sorry, you're right I grabbed the wrong link. Color me red. Regardless of whether or not there are mistakes being made there are many HD-DVD titles which are listed as having region coding on them. Most HD-DVD players have the ability to update their firmware too (hackable?). So, I am beginning to believe that there are region codes in the media regardless of whehter the players honor it or not.
The right one does list the HD-DVD as region 1, I'm confused how we both found differing links on the same site... I'm linking to the Tokyo Drift version of the film on HD-DVD now rather than the DVD version. It's not just Amazon listing this title as region 1 in the US on HD-DVD though, there are other sites with it listed the same way. There are also some UK sites like SendIt that have all their HD-DVDs listed as region 2.
Unfortunately for the early adopters, HD-DVD is a format that is going to die quickly. Sony has seen to that already. This also shows when you look at Amazon sales figures. The top eight selling HD-DVDs are not selling as well as the top eight Blu-Ray discs. Sorry to say, but your format was dead before it took off. HD-DVD is the Beta of this decade.
Actually your shelf space argument is wrong, The Blu-ray case takes up slightly less space than a DVD case. It's smaller in two dimensions which would allow retailers more room to display the products than it takes to display DVDs. This fact would also indicate a slightly lower shipping price per unit too. Less material means less weight which means less cost to ship per unit.

You might want to discount the QuickDraw bug to. I don't think that OS X uses QuickDraw at all, I believe that's fundamentally an OS 9 item, which is no longer a supported OS.
So, you might want to shorten the list again. You'd have to remove MOAB-23-01-2007 - the "Apple QuickDraw GetSrcBits32ARGB() Memory Corruption Vulnerability".
I suppose that you could leave it on the list, as this is an Apple bug, but to include a deprecated API call makes me wonder.
Or is it possible that this entire exercise in revealing these obscure exploits is being funded by those in Redmond to attempt to slam Apple for their product in a lame attempt to get people interested in using VISTA?
Slashdot Mirror
could it be that they don't want anybody to buy it on the PC and drive up the console sales instead? Might be in the MS contract...

If there's no proof of the claim, then can Apple sue the French "scientist" for damage to their business?

What about the lack of supplying the world with the SDK? I guess that never happened according to the author...
C'mon /. ... what's the problem with putting up stories when they hit and they're actually relevant anymore...
When exactly did that statement get made? I don't recall ever hearing it uttered during the show.
Nope, Yaris.

These two "companies" are obviously in the business of acquiring intellectual property patents in order to file lawsuits. This is hardly a business.
Isn't there a time limit on filing patent suits? If the patent is over 20 years old then isn't this way out of date?
When Hummer pays to have a study done to prove that they're "green" too.
I would think most women would prefer a man that doesn't need a Hummer as they have a penis and don't need to overcompensate for their lack of one.

Fast And The Furious, The: Tokyo Drift (HD-DVD) is region code 1. You're wrong. While most HD-DVDs are currently "all region" discs that won't last for long. The current Toshiba hardware isn't checking region codes but there certainly are region codes in the media and it will become standard.
The DVD Steering Committee is making every effort to include region coding in the next HD-DVD standard too.

Well, the claim is that the porn industry drove the adoption of VHS over BETA as it was cheaper and the porn industry likes cheap.
The film being released is, according to the article linked to by MSNBC, "Debbie Does Dallas Again", not "Debbie Does Dallas".
Hopefully they'll follow the direction of the ADC (Apple Developers Connection) and remove any reference to those deprecated function calls.
Actually, you'd have to add the MOAB-14-01-2007 item "AppleTalk ATPsndrsp() Heap Buffer Overflow Vulnerability", as AppleTalk is deprecated too...
Most Open Transport calls have finally been deprecated in OS 10.4.
You might want to discount the QuickDraw bug to. I don't think that OS X uses QuickDraw at all, I believe that's fundamentally an OS 9 item, which is no longer a supported OS.
Note: The QuickDraw API is deprecated in Mac OS X v10.4. That means that Apple no longer plans to develop QuickDraw software or documentation. There is no better time than now to completely remove QuickDraw code from your application.
So, you might want to shorten the list again. You'd have to remove MOAB-23-01-2007 - the "Apple QuickDraw GetSrcBits32ARGB() Memory Corruption Vulnerability".

Where in any of the articles does "Hollywood" "admit" anything?
The HDCP/HDMI standard is very restrictive and VISTA has always been touted as fully supporting it. This is not news, this is just disturbing fact.
Until then, buy the insurance and burn it down now so that you can replace all your existing DVDs on BD and HD-DVD! :)
You can keep waiting. DirecTV dropped TiVo and is now using their own half-assed DVR service.
Or is it possible that this entire exercise in revealing these obscure exploits is being funded by those in Redmond to attempt to slam Apple for their product in a lame attempt to get people interested in using VISTA?
