Everyone assumed that Apple's $499/$599 prices for the iPhone was subsidized by Cingular. But, it appears that Apple is not allowing mobile carriers to subsidize the iPhone. Why? Because when Apple comes out with the Touch iPod, they don't want it compared in price to a discounted/subsidized iPhone.
Also, they want it positioned as a "premium" product, and they know idiots will pay full price regardless.
How typical: you pick what criteria you think are important, define them as "intelligence", and then determine that everybody else is less intelligent than you are. Whatever, guys. As long as you stop short of the genocide I really don't care what you think.
(squints eyes)... With all that smart talk, I bet you're that guy in the funny pajamas that broke my house. I bet you don't even have your tattoo either.
I have a feeling I'll be seeing you on the next Monday Night Rehabilitation.

Well, as a genetically engineered superhuman, you might want to listen to him. He's a lot smarter than you.
From the latest in the SCO saga, Judge Wells ruled today that IBM did not destroy evidence as SCO claims.
So when can we expect the SEC investigation of SCO misconduct? I mean, they're all over Apple over some minor options backdating, the least they could do is deal with the huge pump-and-dump fraud going on in plain sight.
Even while Cisco Systems is suing Apple for violating its iPhone trademark, an open-source enthusiast is accusing Cisco itself of infringing copyright in the same product.

haddieman notes that while many people are getting more and more annoyed at DRM, Norway actually did something about it.
It sounds like they've decided it's either Norway or the Highway.
Yet again, Diebold has shown their security prowess.
The only thing Diebold is good at securing is victory for the GOP.
At most they might get a free hotmail account, then go bug hotmail to release the identity for that email address (which is probably fake info to)
Yeah, and even if they track it back to an IP address, the guy probably did it from an open wireless access point. At least, if he was smart he did.
I have a feeling that if found, the person responsible will first be fired, then sued out the whazoo and sent to debtor's prison.
I can understand firing him and suing him, but don't you think sending him to live in Detroit is a bit harsh?
FOX has subpoenaed YouTube for the identity of a user who posted entire episodes of '24' and 'The Simpson's'.
Yeah, they're looking for him so he can star in an upcoming show on CourtTV.
Oh, curses! Our synergystic engineerification of innovationist intelligent-making just can't keep up with the likes of Dundee, Scotland!
Yeah, well I bet they don't even have a Time Masheen.

Did I miss something? I was watching American Idol.
What? They Pre-empted the season premiere of "Ow! My Balls!" with that crap?
I don't know, but it's ironic that they want to "purify the internet environment", while their actual environment goes to complete shit.

Honey, I have to reboot the TV because it's just gotten a security bios update and TiVo won't record until it sees the update.
Your post is more true than you realize.
The interview ranges over firewalling, logging, NIDS and IPS, how to fight DDoS, and the future of BGP and DNS.
FWIW, FYI, TFA is SFW but IMO not OMFGF.
An anonymous reader writes with the technique of Nolisting, which fights spam by specifying a primary MX that is always unavailable.
Funny, I fight afternoon meeting schedulings in almost the same way. Just specify a primary time that's always unavailable.
Microsoft has granted, in a roundabout way, that Vista has 'high impact issues.
I'm sure they're using the phrase "High impact" in much the same way as the NTSB.

Come now, Google don't do evil.
This prediction sounds less like google and more like Skynet. Especially the "piggybacking on power-generation facilities" part.

I'm surprised they didn't get him for tax evasion, too. I mean, the IRS even requires that you pay taxes on stolen property.
So, they've stopped arresting their customers and started in on their own talent.
Well, it goes to show that they don't care about talent; they care about control of the market.
