Move to most suburbs or rural areas. The kid won't be able to go to the store without permission because driving a car is required to get to the store. So, you have a certain amount of control right there until they are old enough to drive and by then they ought to have sense enough to tell the difference between a video game and real life.
It is quite easy to get around these systems. There are well known back doors put in by the manufacturer. A common one is pulling the emergency brake in a certian pattern.
Having attended meetings from these various companies (for example, a DLNA conference), I can tell you that everyone besides Apple had very unrealistic user scenarios in mind.
The article didn't predict that at all. He predicted that existing Mac customers (especially graphics professionals) would upgrade to Intel based Macintoshes.
Maybe they'll continue to do better in notebooks than desktops.
Probably so. However, don't count out the desktop, though. There are lots of graphics artists that can't wait for whatever machine will replace the PowerMac G5. It will probably be released at WWDC in about three weeks. That's when the pros will start upgrading.
Dragon Systems had better speech recognition than that years ago. Plus, they declared bancruptcy several times? or something since the late 90s. Why the hell wouldn't Microsoft just buy them instead of trying to roll their own (and doing their usual suckage job of it.)

Just don't buy a car with this feature.
Just a woman pointing a finger, and the man could be hauled off to jail.
But that is the current system!

Sequels suck and will always suck.
Umm, what about Back to the Future?
It proves the point.

I have a couple of Core Duo Mac Minis. Very solid machines.

If they get Macs, they will stop bugging you for tech support.
Apple doesn't recommend BootCamp anymore. Have you heard of Parallels? You don't have to reboot to run Windows.
Get parallels and install Windows. You can run it ALONG SIDE MacOS X at full native speed. Then you can pirate all the crappy PC software you want.
Personally, I feel much cleaner using the Gimp on MacOS X than I would running a pirated copy of Photoshop.
Besides, at least for now, using both OSes requires constant rebooting, which makes the idea pretty much a non-starter.
Wrong.
Where has anybody ever demonstrated that the Mac is actually easier to use than Windows, KDE, or Gnome?
Countless articles in scientific journals in the field of Human Factors.

A couple of years ago Steve Jobs announced that Apple's strategy would be exactly what you are describing. The "digital hub" thing.
It took him that long to get over the shock of it not being more complicated than drag and drop.
Since you have a psychology degree, you might want to consider going into a graduate program in Human Factors or in Human-Computer interaction.
The program at New Mexico Tech is pretty good.

They all deserve a chance to work.
I demand that you hire a smelly drunk immediately.
In fact, smelly drunks all around!
In all fairness, you could buy an Apple Cinema Display.
Yeah, but then all our CEO jobs will just go overseas.
There is NOTHING more expensive than something that is "free".
But MySpace is one of the most popular websites on the internet. And they aren't blocking it for everyone - just for the poor.
Not only that, but he's such a loser he insists that everyone else should be a loser just like him. And he hates freedeom.
I personally don't see how MySpace actually helps anyone at all
Isn't it a free web hosting site? Wouldn't having a web page help kids to be creative on their own? I would think this would be a great help.
