Sony's keys will never be able to compete in a Microsoft-dominated market. FCKGW-RHQQ2-YXRKT-8TG6W-2B7Q8 was an instant classic, there's a reason I can still remember parts of it so many years from its release.
I guess their data is just out of date. Maybe a year ago you could have seen a lot of traffic on Rapidshare, but slow speeds, low filesize limits and long wait times have made Rapidshare go the way of MySpace. Now you have a completely different set of players, there's Hotfile, Fileserve, Netload, Filesonic, Depositfiles, and a whole bunch of others. If you go to a site that posts such links you'd be hard pressed to find one Rapidshare link in fifty.
And I bet the **AAs are just about getting ready to do something about Rapidshare.
You could probably get a gullibility meter but I think you'd need to have some time and money invested for the scientologists to allow you to operate one.
...you can look forward to a day when your iPhone may record your voice, take a picture of your location, record your heartbeat, and send that information back to the mothership...
Look forward? I thought it was able to do these things already, and they were marketed as features.
Though this isn't the best fit, I came across a quote by Thoreau in a short story called "Repent Harlequin!" Said the Ticktockman that seems like a good fit for the whole thing in general so I thought I'd share.
The mass of men serve the state thus, not as men mainly, but as machines, with their bodies. They are the standing army, and the militia, jailers, constables, posse comitatus, etc. In most cases there is no free exercise whatever of the judgement or of the moral sense; but they put themselves on a level with wood and earth and stones; and wooden men can perhaps be manufactured that will serve the purpose as well. Such command no more respect than men of straw or a lump of dirt. They have the same sort of worth only as horses and dogs. Yet such as these even are commonly esteemed good citizens. Others--as most legislators, politicians, lawyers, ministers, and office-holders--serve the state chiefly with their heads; and, as they rarely make any moral distinctions, they are as likely to serve the devil, without _intending_ it, as God. A very few--as heroes, patriots, martyrs, reformers in the great sense, and _men_--serve the state with their consciences also, and so necessarily resist it for the most part; and they are commonly treated as enemies by it.
It might be a side effect of the mind probe that's trying to convince you you liked the show to get you to feel comfortable enough to divulge some secret information that would eventually lead to your whole civilization's demise, only now that you've noticed it you will inevitably discover the ruse and will come up with a way to foil it.
Oh, yeah, I forgot, spoiler alert for like six different episodes in the Stargate franchise.
Apparently the chromium-osmium alloy is pretty hard (thought I'm not sure about the exact applications) so that would be a nice name for a stable version.

Lame.

Yo dawg, we made an arm powered ARM powered computer so you can crank while you crank.

I believe standard sharks would suffice if they can generate a powerful enough electromagnetic field.
How is it that he got outranked by Ballmer then?

Or possibly a religious figure.
"Two bits of fun to the English line-up, Google is the same as converting text between English and Japanese translation please use a third party."
I have no idea where the extra bit came from.
I was under the impression that Vader of all people was the one most qualified to grip an iPhone correctly.

If you can type faster than you are currently thinking/creating/"solutionizing"...
Does your language of choice happen to be Objective-C?
Huh, wonder if it will be as effective for diabetics.
You might win an all-expenses-payed trip to sunny Cuba.
It's a Harlan Ellison story that starts with a quote from Thoreau.

Suffer extreme drops in revenue? what revenue?

Surely it's worth it, for only be feasting on his flesh may he gain his powers.

Sounds like a new Terry Pratchett/J K Rowling collaboration.
Yeah I know, and now we're getting all these error messages about mounting without the right permissions.
You forgot Minileaks, LeakReactor and The Leaky Bay.
Or you could just get one of those for $4.
Actually, little known fact, if you run it through a C compiler you get the Linux kernel, if you run it through a C++ compiler you get SCO Unix.
