Why is it that no matter what you do, A myspace page doesn't look good. I'm not trying to be snobby or anything, I don't have a page, but All MySpace sights that I have seen hurt my eyes.
This guy wasn't to be president? Isn't this like getting financial advice from someone with a hotmail address? It just doesn't seem all that encouraging. Obviously McCain is getting crappy advice. If he really wants to connect with voters, he would get a.mac email address and create his home page on geo cities. He would also spend a lot of time on IRC and create a usenet group called alt.vote.president.mccain.
The war of the world's radio broadcast had messages both before and after it stating that it was a play - not news. The problem was that some people tuned in during the middle and were extremely gullible.
If Nintendo was really intentionally choking the supply, it would make them the biggest idiots of all time. There is a short window after launch where you are everybody's baby - if you don't make it then, then your platform will fail. Cutting off supply during this period would be beyond idiocy.
It is possible that Nintendo underestimated demand when they were reserving factory time for the Wii to be built. Then again, it is possible they just can't get enough units to market as quickly as they would like due to some factor beyond their control (this is most likely).
I don't think Apple is any worse for the environment than anyone else. I think Greenpeace are just a bunch of cynical opportunists trying to blackmail Apple with bad PR.
In fact, companies aren't really cool. At best, companies make good products and get a good reputation and then people decide that their products are cool (like Apple), but if you actively chase being "cool", then you end up looking foolish.
I didn't RTFA, so I don't know how physically large these are, but I want one for my next iPod. It isn't a high enough capacity for a laptop HD for me, though.
I believe it's safe to say that using someone's gait to determine their relative guilt/innocence, ranks right up there with dumping a woman in a river to see if she's a witch. On the plus side, though, it will give the police an excuse to harass anyone with a handicap or who has a sprained ankle. I think we can all agree that would be totally awesome.
Give me a break. Pretty much all the businesses in the USA are big box chains. The only "locally owned small businesses" I see are (some) restaurants - depending on where you live you might not even have a non-chain restaurant.
Apple has a long trac record of making products that are actually usable. Palm and Microsoft have a long reputation of making products that have attractive features but have some fatal flaw that makes them suck to actually use in the real world - like a beautiful cake with a big turd on the top.
And while some people haven't seen the iPhone yet, you can get a pretty good idea of what it is like on Apple's website. (Some of us did attend MacWorld and have seen it.)
I'm glad you hate Apple fans. The world needs more dumb asses like you.
Yugo was not an unethical company - they died because Yugoslovia broke up and they were unable to do business because they couldn't move parts from one facility to another.
I sure hope Carl Rove doesn't read Slashdot or next election there will be all kinds of bomb threats called in regarding polling places in democratic leaning areas.
Funny, Clinton wasn't even close to 50% of the vote and won, yet nobody said he "stole" anything Funny, that's exactly what I heard over and over again from republicans who kept claiming that the 1992 election was "stolen" because most people voted for a "conservative" candidate.
Try buying an Apple computer without OS X on it. I've done this many times: Apple IIe, Apple IIc, PowerBook 160, PowerMac 7100, Newton 2000, and many others. None had MacOS X on them.

I'm sorry that I tried to shatter your illusions of Greenpeace. But I think your defenses are strong enough that no damage was done.
This chart shows installed base, not marketshare.
Marketshare would be the percentage of consoles sold in some period of time. This is just raw units shipped since launch.
Not that installed base is unimportant, but it isn't the same thing as marketshare.

Anyone tried getting a MacBook fixed while it is running Linux?
This has got to be the stupidest comment I've seen in a while.
Uh, I believe the counter argument is that it benefits large corporations.
Give me a break. Pretty much all the businesses in the USA are big box chains. The only "locally owned small businesses" I see are (some) restaurants - depending on where you live you might not even have a non-chain restaurant.
So then I start a manufacturing business that doesn't price fix and get my legs broken.
Fixed that for you.

I think you and the GPP simply have different ideas about the definition of "long". To some people, 3 years is "not long".

As the ad says, Give Chance a Chance.
On the really old ones, you'd turn a crank and then say "Mabel, connect me to my mother."

Don't worry. They will eventually ship the iPhone Shuffle for cheapos like you.
