Consider this: once upon a time, opium was found to have positive uses (dental anesthetic.) It was also widely used recreationally.
When opium was found to be harmul, 'refined' opium (aka morphine) was developed, and found to have positive uses (cure for opium and alcohol addition.)
When morphine was found to be harmful, 'refined' morphine (aka heroin) was developed, and found to have positive uses (childrens' cough syrup!)
Recently, when nicotine was found to be harmful, 'refined' nicotine was developed, and found to be effective on people suffering from ADHD, Alzheimers', anxiety, schizophrenia, and anger management.
Wow...and I thought this was Slashdot, not Techdirt!
Rather than dump an innovative flagship product, Verizon decided to get its collective hands dirty to fix problems Microsoft created.
Rather than sabotage the same flagship product with bad publicity about their supplier, Verizon takes over and does things right.
Do you have another BETTER suggestion, or are you just the first (paper) match in a flame war?
CUPERTINO, California--May 14, 2003--Apple® today launched the iTunes® Lyric Store, a revolutionary online lyric store that lets customers quickly find, purchase and download the lyrics they want for just 49 cents per song, without subscription fees. The iTunes Lyric Store offers groundbreaking personal use rights, including printing lyrics an unlimited number of times for personal use, storing lyrics an unlimited number of iPods, reading lyrics on up to three Macintosh® computers, and using lyrics in any application on the Mac®, including iPhoto(TM), iMovie(TM) and iDVD(TM).
This isn't unusual, either -- the vague monthly invoicing and byzantine customer records lead to so many overbilled or unused service that there's an entire industry that does nothing but audit phone bills in exchange for a percentage of the savings.
The number one reason for overbilling...there is no risk at all to the billing company. Either they get more revenue than they deserve, or if they are caught, they get the revenue they deserve. And whether you pay a company to audit your bills or not, you overpay...
OK, Verizon won't bring DSL to Keller, TX (pop. 40,000) because there is only one central office, but move to a luxury ice-front condo on the pole and you redefine "residential broadband".
Agreed....not only does the current generation of PowerMac have handles on the exterior, but also utilizes "hubbable" interfaces such as USB and Firewire to at least move the cable clutter. They also allow easy motherboard access via the "drop-down" case design.
Two things keep the 12" Powerbook from going Cube:
-Huge Japanese market for extremely small, powerful laptops
-Available DVD burner in a small portable
The Cube was a smaller, less expandable PowerMac that cost more. The 12" is a more functional, more expandable (as laptops go) iBook that costs more.

They should have gone with bada.bing.net.
Nah -- schwing.net

Unfortunately there are divergent standards - yaddayadda, ya da ya da, and yada yada. And don't forget about wonk wonk wonk...
Unfortunately, it's a VOOM exclusive...
I liked MCI Long Distance so much, I bought the company!!
Remember the "good ole days" when TechTV was ZDTV? You could watch Call For Help 6 times a day!

Indeed...my assumption was that there was a PC card slot.
