True, lucas has gradually become worse, but it started right after star wars, in the Empire strikes back, it wasn't him that made it the best epsiode of the whole series: people actually persuaded him to make it the way it is now, not the medival fairytale it was intented. Lucas most likely knows this, but he cant accept that his creation being made into greatness by someone else. Thats why he is trying to make the new movie oriented towards children: its where he sees his success.
lets hope he gets it right!
True, apple should have know that emacs already exist. Damn , their OSX is even based on UNIX, or dont't the departments work together there? These odd namings will make things even worse, "Education Mac" instead of "Editing MACroS", many ppl will now think apple made the editor and its part of their OSX.
Dont u think it'll be kind of weird having a guy try to authenticate with a bloody index finger for his six-pack. But then again, the 18-year old clerks with their 5-hour training will surely not notice any signs of these oddities...
Indivos has sued Biometric Access for patent infringement.
Kapioski said his store will not have to pay for installing the image readers, but will pay a per-transaction fee to Indivos.

Wow, isn't that great. We've seen this done to so many, possibly very important, new inventions: patents! If maybe Indivos could put their greed aside for a while, they could spend time on making products that are competitive and dont need suing.
I dont mean to sound like a flamebait (but i probably am), but the fact that this is mentioned in only two sentences in the whole article irritates me: has it really become that commonplace to sue for patent infringement?

The actual technology is extremely secure for the moment: everyone will noticed the guy with the photocopy taped to his finger. By the time people start to try to abuse the system, it will already be upgraded, unless it suffers from the same problem as RAMBUS!
