has either a 4 or 5 camera system (they use two different systems) that records to hard drives on every bus in their system. They swap the hdds every night and transfer the data to central servers. If I remember correctly, they hold the data either 7 or 14 days- plenty of time for a crime to be reported and the police to make the request for a review of the recordings. Very few of the train stations have cameras yet, but their changing that and will soon be adding camera systems to all the rail cars of the el also.
the systems went in without much fanfare or anyone questioning the setup AFAIK
I'm curious is they are batching apple in with this in any obscure way.
I think apple is a much larger threat to M$ now than they've ever been do to os x and the attraction of developers they've been able to aquire over the last few years.
I switched six months ago and have been encouraging a lot of others to do the same.
I'm also curious what the next big app. that directly threatens M$ will be- I'm sure keynote was just a starter!
I went to the chicago store opening a couple weeks ago and there were people that had camped out in front of the place all night, I have a job.
I did get there around 5 pm, the store opened at 6. I was ~460ish in line, and it took an extra 45 minutes for me to get in from that spot, but by the time I got in the line had circled the block twice and there had to be over 2000 people lined by then.
it was worth the wait!!! don't go too late, but don't waste your time spending the night there either!
I think you're a little paranoid about the wrong things. What will the email do for them that the other info they obtain by your phone # doesn't? Chances are that by just supplying your phone # and prior to that they already know where you live, work, eat and sleep. Do you really think they haven't already tied your internet use to your phone/ip/address if they really wanted too?
even though we generally don't have any privacy and our civil liberties are slowly being axed by the current administration- at least we can have sex any way we want now
not for the super rightwingers: this is good for everyone.
Apple does not use Dell's tweaked specs but instead chooses to cripple Dell's machine for benchmarking purposes. Dell did not cripple an Apple machine for comparison.
I think your missing something here- Apple didn't cripple the Dell, it came with Windows!
but I've heard that apple charges 34 cent per song and their agreement leaves the rest of the division and responsibility up to the label.
another slice of info that was rejected by/.'s editors: I received an email from bloodshot records with the following- 'As the music business heads off into uncharted territory we are feeling the effects first hand as stores close, media consolidates and users have no qualms about stealing music from the web. After a fun business trip to Apple HQ in California, we have decided to cast our lot with Appleâ(TM)s new iTunes store. By the end of the summer (hopefully) youâ(TM)ll be able to download individual tracks or albums from nearly every Bloodshot artist (including comps). Weâ(TM)ll let you know when our catalog is ready to go.'
Kismac is a wonderful tool. I've been using it for about 6 months off and on. I wish the documention did a better job of covering the details of how to use the data it gives you. It was a lot of cool features and will even crack the stream for you.
when my education discount gets another round- I'll probably wait till after macworld though and hope that some even a little more advanced is shipping.
from the RIAA guy: To date, nobody has suggested that copy control technologies have locked up a work that should be in the public domain.
this seems like a completely rediculous statement considing what this forum and everything Lawrence Lessig has been fighting for and all the other crap going on for the last couple years. in fact he even talks about this earlier in the q&a. somebody needs to go over this carefully and pull out all the bullshit.

you obviously don't read the NY Times very often. many of their articles are 5-6 times that length or longer.

something I've thought about for awhile that I'd like to have is a clock radio that can pull in streaming radio from the net.
wireless would be better, but this is great and would totally work. now if I had any idea how to put this together on my own or could just buy one!
network solutions has begun using this system just for whois queries. the place they want you to get the code is graphic.

But the prospect of GM pets has outraged pet dealers.
Sounds like a PR problem.
Maybe they should hire Robert Novak to help their image- he lots of fish experience!
I know it's a little different, but there's a very interesting segment on npr today: here
I found this pretty informative for a lot statistics and health care information.
if the marketing group at microsoft sees this- 'Xbox, the movie' could be next

1989 was the year I turned 21- I remember nothing from that year-- and after reading about 'the wizard' I'm much happier for this fact!
