  12. The best part of the article imho on Microsoft's Mac Business Unit · · Score: 5, Interesting

    But the people in the Mac BU take noticeable pride in Office for Mac as a product in its own right, not merely a translation of Windows Office to the Mac operating system. Office 2004 for Mac, for example, includes a number of features not available in the Windows version of Office, such as a "project center" in the Entourage e-mail program that lets users manage in one place a project that involves different types of files.

  13. ye know what's sad? on Robots for No Man's Land · · Score: 2, Insightful

    From the Washington Post article here which is btw the article which is actually referenced in the article that's posted above,

    An unmanned Stryker is part of the military's effort to move more machines into battle to save both money and lives. "Well before the end of the century, there will be no people on the battlefield," said Robert Finkelstein, a professor at the University of Maryland's School of Management and Technology.

    The sad part is of course that he didn't say: "Well before the end of the century, there will no longer be a need for battlefields" :(. Sad Sad :(

  16. From the article... on United Linux Dead · · Score: 3, Informative

    SCO's Linux reversal isn't the only change, though. SuSE Linux, whose software formed the foundation for a version shared by all four companies, has been acquired by Novell. Along with that acquisition will come an endorsement from IBM, the loudest Linux advocate, in the form of a $50 million investment in Novell.

    So you see - there are other things too that matter(ed) here.

    Email?
    Television?

    Oops people do hate TVs and computers. I sometimes hate computers but the article says people hate razors? Dang - i love my Gillette Mach III. The only thing i would really hate is the battery - i need it really bad but hate the short life and the need to keep hunting for an electrical socket after a few hours - this thing called the battery is present in everything i kinda hate - cellphone, mp3 player, gameboy, laptop - a good part of the hate being that the battery life isn't great.

  20. 99 out of 100 bollywood movies suck on Bollywood Embraces Kazaa Movie Downloads · · Score: 1

    Most Bollywood movies suck. PERIOD. For every 20 good Hollywood movies, there is gonna be a decent Bollywood movie. Hell i even hate saying Bollywood : how's that for creativity eh?. That wasn't always the case but now the directors/producers/writers have run out of plots and they have copied enough material from Hollywood, French and Italian cinema that they need fresh material (the joke is that a director in Bollywood takes about 10 years to remake a french movie in Hindi because he has to learn French first). There is no comparision between Hollywood and Bollywood.

    Yes i am an Indian.

    Would you be pissed?
    Or would you be pissed if you were not an American? and if you are not an American, you should have been pissed already in which can being peed upon twice makes no sense.

    Before you take arms in the typical slashdot manner, consider the key lines from the article:

    The move underscores the wrath of countries that for years have been unhappy with what they perceive as their voicelessness over how the Internet is run and over U.S. ownership of key Internet resources. It also foretells the level of criticism that both the U.S. government and the Internet Corporation, or ICANN, may face at the UN meeting, one of the largest gatherings ever of high-level government officials, business leaders and nonprofit organizations to discuss the Internet's future. .
    I understand the concerns of other nations about their having a say in the way the Internet as we know today is going to shape into. I also understand how a lot of the work went into the original ARPANET and DARPA from the US and the universities. I guess we need an UIO (United Internet Organisation!)...something like that. Can't we frag each other in peace? :-)
