The world would a much better place if people just used common sense. I went to the site and there's no reason why it should be called 'iTunes'. As a matter of fact, it is redirected to quickquid.com. In my humble opnion, the guy should just give/sell the domain to apple, which would make a lot more sense the itunes.co.uk being the iTunes site.
A good example of this is Kevin Karpenske, who donated the firefox.com domain to the mozilla foundation.
I agree, hurray for good old moz.org! Now just one question, why are they insisting in using that red godzila head as a logo? It's so 70's, and it makes me remember of something like "the attack of the giant radioactive ants", and not a serious organization. Why don't they start using this cool aqua-like logo?
This is a style to better paint the characters expressions, like happiness, sadness, surprise, etc. If you watched one whole anime, you will see that no all characters have the "BIG ROUND eyes" and sometimes the same character shows up with these eyes only in some ocasions

I've never put much thought into it, but now that you mention it, it doesn't make any sense at all. But I have a more intriguing question, what will happen when we reach Java 2.0? will it be Java 10 ?
Java 20 ? Or will we never reach 2.0 ? It will be like: and now, the much anticipated....java 1.99435653
Of course you might think that, but you dont see Mozilla or Opera being sued for using plug-ins, do you? So, IMHO, the problem is not the idea of a browser with plug-ins, but the particular way that IE uses plug-ins. Maybe this is another chance to see that although IE is the most used, its definitely not the best choice. Period.

I agree with Anonymous but would like to focus on one point. People usually mix up 3 things: easiness of use, graphical interfaces and MSs GUIs. Microsoft did not invent neither the concept of Graphical Interfaces nor the idea that working with a GUI is better. If the products of MS are not so easy to use as they promise, that doesnt mean all GUIs are like that.
Working with a GUI will ALWAYS be easier and better than working with plain text files. If this werent true, everybody would be fully happy working with vi or notepad. I know some people are in fact satistfied with that, butu it isnt the whole reality: millions of people and resources are and have been invested in programs like Eclipse, Visual Studio, IntelliJ Idea, and many others. Why? because a visual layout will always be better than text.
So, when a program doesnt work as it should, or we find a defect possibly caused by an imperfection in the implementation of the GUI, dont throw away the 'G' in GUI and say that real man uses emacs, instead, find whats wrong and build a better GUI.
You wanna some examples? heres two: Mac OS X and pretty soon UML 2.0.
I was begining to read the article and one doubt just popped out: why did she need a dual boot? If she didnt use that much of computer power-like a CAD tool or maya- and her basic needs were suplied, she didnt need a dual boot. I think that maybe her experience would be a lot simpler and happier if she realized why and what she was doing.

DonÂt respect anyone or anything, works in the most devious ways with fast blows and undying effort.
Do you think iÂm describing the common terrorist personality? Well, maybe, but I talking about Microsoft way of working. This company doesnÂt respect ONE single open standard, and if thatÂs not enough, they try to destroy every single major product that doesnÂt belong to them. Maybe they should chage the name of theri new "office" to "Office 9/11", the terrorists of open standards.
Just one thing, the fabulous Timber Wolf is from Clan Wolf! If it was from Jade Falcon, it would be something like timber falcon, or mad jade, or whatever...
Ill tell you what I did: I closed my Hotmail account and hope never to be bugged again by Hotmail. I think everybody that thinks Microsoft didnt had the right to share our information without our consent, should do the same thing! Lets close Hotmail for good!
