(a) to damage caused by use with non-Apple products;
(b) to damage caused by accident, abuse, misuse, flood, fire, earthquake or other external causes;
(c) to damage caused by operating the product outside the permitted or intended uses described by Apple;
(d) to damage caused by service (including upgrades and expansions) performed by anyone who is not a representative of Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider;
(e) to a product or part that has been modified to significantly alter functionality or capability without the written permission of Apple;
(f) to consumable parts, such as batteries, unless damage has occurred due to a defect in materials or workmanship;
or
(g) if any Apple serial number has been removed or defaced.
Basically, if the upgrade didn't cause the problem, you should still be covered.
This is just going by what I've heard, but I don't think many people are talking about buying a Mac just to run Windows. People seem to be talking about buying a Mac and then either dual-booting or running Parallels Workstation.
It's not about replacing OS X, so much as it is supplementing your Mac-using experience by letting you have easy access to your old Windows stuff. And for long-time Mac users, it's about getting access to the (very few) Windows applications that don't have a Mac version or equivalent.
You're right; when you're covering an important study from the University of California Santa Barbara, you really should cite a better source than ucsbdailynexus.com.
I've always wondered(and this is a serious question, so please forgive my ignorance), what makes business owners comply with a BSA license audit?
If I own a business, I wouldn't want anyone who didn't work for me to touch any of my computers, much less use them, and much less go snooping around on them looking for something to incriminate me or my business. I assume most business owners feel the same way.
That argument makes no sense. OS X's speed on legacy PowerPC hardware is in no way related to the as-yet unreleased Windows Vista's speed on legacy Intel hardware.
Also, I have OS X running just fine on a 300MHz G3 from 1999. It's a little slower than I'd like, but it's by no means dog slow.
When I try to stream, I get a message that I may have problems because my bandwidth appears to be below 500kbps.
That's news to me, and would probably be news to Comcast. And considering the last torrent I downloaded (last night) came in at closer to 500KBps(4000kbps), I'd be willing to make a bet whose bandwidth is less than 500kbps.
I assume that the vast majority of OS X users still use HFS+, and it's what Apple recommends. I still use HFS+, because it supports useful metadata, like resource forks and type/creator codes.
I just use an extension called Tab Clicking Options, which lets me close tabs by double-clicking on them.
This is much more consistent with behavior that's already in Firefox, since you can already open a tab by double-clicking on the tab bar. It's also easier to double-click on a larger target, a two-inch tab, when compared to a 16x16 close box. It saves space on the tab for the title.
I'm not talking about blocking them somewhere on the network.
If you have a website, you can generally look at the access logs to see where requests come from. Checking for people on Verizon's or at&t's network should be possible in the same way.
I'd like to see companies like Google, Yahoo, Microsoft, et cetera, form some kind of coalition. For one week, I'd like them to choose a telecom, maybe Verizon one week and at&t the next.
During that week, any requests for pages from those sites from the telecom's network would respond with a warning page saying
WARNING:
Your ISP ([Verizon]) is attempting to charge [Google] so that you can continue to access our site over the internet. If this happens, you will not be able to access [Google] using [Verizon]'s network. We assure you this is not our fault, and we hope you continue to use our site in the future.
If [Verizon] begins charging sites, you will no longer be able to access any of these sites using [Verizon] internet access:
Google
Yahoo
ebay
et cetera
[Verizon]'s customer service number is [1-877-483-5898].
Content providers' sites are one of the few reasons that Verizon and at&t can sell anything. Without sites like Google, Amazon, and Yahoo, Verizon and at&t's pipes are pretty much worthless. The content providers really should make this clear to Verizon and at&t.
It would depend on the wording of the bill, and given that Google, Yahoo, and Amazon know something about traffic over the internet, I would assume that the bill would be written well enough to get around those problems.
Slow? That move just isn't happening. There are few devices on the market which support ogg, and no noticeable advantage for the consumer to use ogg when compared to mp3.
Sure, the format existed more than a decade ago, but most people didn't even know about it until Napster. It wasn't really "on the market" until mp3 players came out, which was in the very late 1990s.
Here we are just a few years later, and how many people have stopped buying CD music in favor of mp3/aac/wma/something incompatible with their old CD players?
Using credit cards doesn't have to mean going into debt. If you are responsible, if you pay off your credit card at the end of every month, and if you have the right card, you can come out ahead.
For example, Citibank has a card which gives 5% back on groceries, gas, and prescriptions, and 1% back on everything else, which comes out to a fair amount of money you get back. You don't get money back if you stick to cash or checks.
The key is to find a good credit card and use it responsibly.
People have widely-differing screen sizes now. If you try viewing the same picture on a phone and on a 23" screen, things are going to look very different.
Developers are already capable of setting height and width in measurements other than pixels(em, percent). It would be nice if in addition to that, it were possible to use measurements of centimeters or inches and possible to have images that look good at different resolutions.
If it was possible to set the size of everything on a page in actual physical measurements, that would make it so images appeared exactly the same size on every screen, but with larger screens still having extra space.

Thank Opera for what users actually like in UI design?

That could just as easily be referring to information that would go to a CLEC for your DSL service.
Or do you have some evidence that Qwest actually has been giving customers' personal information to third parties?

It's only the top 10 or 11 percent which are noticeably above and the bottom 10 or 11 percent which are noticeably- hey, wait a minute.

2008? I'd really be hoping to prevent any bills being passed until at least late January 2009.

Here's a (somewhat old) article describing why Apple recommends using HFS+(a.k.a. Mac OS Extended).
Because I use a Mac, and like many Mac users, my middle-click is assigned to Exposé, which is useful in all applications, rather than being assigned to tabbed browsing, which is only useful in one.

But if everyone is happy, does it really matter?

Look at how quickly people embraced DVD, or how quickly people started using the MP3 format.

"94 Ford Explorer 5-speed" would be a better password, and would be a lot stronger than "94FE5spd".
A sentence would be an even better password, because it's easier to remember, has spaces, capitals, and punctuation.

By the same token, I'm sure they'd say the same about how well you speak Hindi.
