    Sounds like suck a fun time. I'm sure that it will be just as fun and light hearted in court. Wouldn't that be so much fun to sue someone when your buisness is just a legal team. That sounds like so much fun. I can't agree with you more. The people in Utah sure know how to have fun.

    Holy expensive laptop link batman. $3,000 to $6,000 for a laptop. And I thought the powermac's were expensive.

    Comparing the two is like comparing a PDA with Gameboy Advance

    You are on to something with that comparison.
    A laptop is like the PDA - functional and useful.
    A tablet is like the gameboy - a toy.

  9. Re:Great.. on Prince of Pop-ups · · Score: 1
    Well you're almost there. If you don't like sites that use pop ups, use pop up blocking software. If you boycott the site, or you don't use their pop ups you accomplish the same thing. The site's revenue from pop ups will be zero from you.

    Of course if you are using IE, you will need to run another program to block popups. Mainly cause IE tries to be as pop up compliant as possible.

    Sucks to use IE. I tried 5 times and I never got a popup. Go safari.

  11. Don't trust on Preliminary OS X & PPC 970 Benchmarks · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I don't trust this information at all. There are a lot of apple people that would like to see a processor that is significantly faster than intel's offering (I am one). Unfortunately there are people that will publish rumors that apple is going to do this soon without proof because they wish it were so now. The only apple rumor site that I would trust is Think Secret. Other than think secret or an announcement from apple, I refuse to believe that any of this information is true. This is merely wishful thinking.

    And now the phrase used in this one song is used exclusively by non residents. I don't doubt that the phrase originated in San Francisco. I do however doubt it's current use there.

    Ok troll. Comments like yours are not welcome here.

  14. Re:frisco on The MPAA's Lobbying-Fu is Stronger Than Yours · · Score: 1

    I agree. Frisco is a term used by people that never/rarely go to San Francisco. Want to sound like an idiot? Just use the word "frisco". By using it, you gain 5 extra idiot points in my book.

  15. Re:Try them out! Uses flash (more great uses!!) on New Ultra-Intrusive Pop-up Ads Introduced · · Score: 1

    I would, but I can't. My ad blocking proxy server won't let me. I guess I could try to avoid this, but that would be too much work

  16. I hope it works on New Ultra-Intrusive Pop-up Ads Introduced · · Score: 2, Interesting
    I want this to work. I want it to work really really well. Tons of sites using this technology. I hope misrosoft incorporates it into msn so that you have to view these ads all over their site. If all this happenes then people will need to develop a way to block it. Open source will lead the field with this. Mozilla and company will have an option to block it or will already block it.

    This will degrade the internet explorer experience and will be more and more of a reason for people to switch to better alternatives. Especially if explorer allows it 100% the same way it accepts pop ups. I say bring on more intrusive content. Mozilla can handle it.

  17. Re:Nice hardware (some change for the worse) on Apple Introduces iTunes Music Store, iTunes 4, new iPod · · Score: 1

    well if you click on the link, you would see a cable that connects the ipod to a firewire port. There is no cradle. Please click the link to find out for yourself.

    That worked wonders for me. For anyone having this problem, the option to change the font smoothing is in the general preference pane at the bottom. Much better and much smoother.

    I noticed that my font smoothing is gone in this version of itunes. Has anyone else noticed this problem as well. My library of songs looks all blocky and crappy.

    I'm surprised that slashdot posted about the CNET article about the end of the original iMac instead of new clustering Xserve. I mean think about it. Can you imagine a beowulf cluster of...oh nevermind.

  22. Re:All I have to say is "Giftbox" on Apple to Launch Music Service? · · Score: 1
    Well if apple is going to distribute songs online, it better be fast and reliable. This program is what apple is going up against in the online music distribution arena. Apple had better hit a homerun with it's offerings because the illegal open source alternatives will force this service out of business if it doesn't. As of right now giftbox is the best option for downloading songs online from a mac. I think it will continue to be the best service for a while, but I will hold off on that until apple publicly releases something.

    I think my point is just as valid as everyone bringing up Kazaa, if not more so because giftbox runs on a mac.

  23. All I have to say is "Giftbox" on Apple to Launch Music Service? · · Score: 2, Informative

    There is already a great program for downloading movies and music on the mac. It's called Giftbox. Giftbox utilizes the openFT protocol. This thing is fast like the fasttrack protocol used in Kazaa, but is opensource. It is still in beta now, but it is the best file sharing client available for the mac. Better than limewire, aquasition, and iswipe. It's free and fast. A network supported by apple will not be necessary with the openFT network out there.

  24. Re:ok, sure on Pentium-M Notebook Put To The Test · · Score: 1
    I will lend you the cash. First give me the money you would use to pay for XP, and office. Now give me the service and support costs for the lifetime of your laptop. Now the software that comes free on a mac and you have to pay for on a PC (iLife, X windowing system, a decent terminal with easy portability of UNIX aps etc.). Productivity time losses when fighting with windows to do what you want. Then add in the cost of the hardware of your cheaper laptop.

    Everyone always looks at the selling price, not the total price of the unit over it's lifetime. The only way to beat apple in total costs is to buy a laptop without windows and install LINUX on it. And then you are limited to the number of 17" laptops to stick LINUX on (um 1)

  25. Is the RIAA the Apple of the mid 90's? on Recording Industry Extinction Predicted RSN · · Score: 2, Interesting

    In the mid 90's, everyone was predicting apple's doom. There were newspaper articles saying things like "the rise and fall of Apple" suggesting that apple's death was going to happen next year. I think the RIAA is the apple of the mid 90's. Everyone is saying that they are going to die, but they won't. Maybe they will become a lot smaller, but they won't go away. There is a market for high priced CDs even if it is getting smaller. There is some convenience in buying a CD, going home, playing it, and knowing it will work without the use of a computer(although the RIAA is shooting itself in the foot with DRM) What do you think?
