I agree wholeheartedly, but one correction. Its not the character of Mickey Mouse that would become Public Domain, it's "Steamboat Willie" - the cartoon in which Mickey first appeared. Important Distinction.

I'm still waiting for the French Fry vending machine! Anyways, its gonna be a long line, with people stuffing three hundred $1 dollar bills into a vending machine....
Ars compared the new Macbook to the first revision of the Macbook Pro, one processor gen behind. It would have been more appropriate (and expensive) to compare against the newer faster Macbook Pro.
Remember that funny (and accurate) web page that shows the Apple product cycle? The Macbook is not yet at the stage where users demand their money back over some small detail that Apple overlooked. Wait a week or so, people will be damning Apple over heat issues, weird sounds, smells, thermal paste, whatever.
I'm still a happy tiBook user, but finally with Tiger its age started showing. I'll be watching the news on these new laptops very carefully.
Tell that to the hackers running OS X on ECS Motherboards from Fry's. Apple will continue to slow down the hackers, and the hackers will continue to do their thing. It's all good for Apple anyway: Spend 25 hours getting OS X to work like on a real Mac, or just fork over the $599 for a Mac Mini?
I know you're being funny, but the day after the American PS3 release, check ebay prices. Then, tell me whether Sony should have charged more for the console, at least for the first 6 months.
I completely agree, so let me change your expeience on the site: greasemonkey. Go to userscripts.org and get the myspace scripts. No more ads, remove the custom CSS from profiles, remove the music, hell even add direct links to picture pages! (you know you go straight to the pics you perverts...)
Greasemonkey kicks all kinds of ass, plain and simple as that.
I'd also like to point out that the Lightroom Beta is *Mac* only at this time. It appears to be a beta Macromedia application that was acquired by Adobe in the buyout. Lightroom is great by the way, I'm using for my stuff already.
I just watched Steven Soderbergh's Bubble, a movie released on cable TV, DVD and movie theater at the same time. It was a great experiment, shot for cheap on HD Video cameras, using unknown actors. (one major character just retired from being manager at the local KFC). For sets, they filmed inside the actors' real homes.
Ultimately the story works because the characters are great and the plot is interesting, but this was a great project and I highly recommend you guys check it out.
"..when Apple releases an OS upgrade, your old machine gets faster, not slower."
This was true until Tiger, which slowed down my tiBook. Spotlight + Widgets is the cause. Yes, they can be disabled, but it's not an out of the box option. I guess I liked the functionality enough to keep it, but these improvements definitely slowed down my system.
I'm a regular listener of "Left Right and Center", an NPR political show based out KCRW in Santa Monica College. Like all NPR podcasts, it's free. If only they'd put out "This American Life" as a podcast! A boy can wish.

Sounds like a good idea on the surface, but how many transactions do you need to rack up for this system to pay for itself?
Youu have to log in to use it via Wifi. I doubt you'll be doing that after logging in with your account information...

Actually, ebay owns 25% of Craigslist.
"...beer drinking and Facebook.com fought for the second place with 71% of popular votes."
You might want to check your math, you drunk facebooking iPod dancing freaks!
Im ny day we studied in college, humming along to an 8 track! And that's the way we liked it!

I wouldn't be surprised if the base PS3's '20Gb' drive is actually exactly the same as the non-crippled PS3's 60Gb, just with two platters disabled...
Dude, it's even worse than you imagined. Instead of crippling 2 platters, they actually removed them!

If these jokes aren't very funny, they must be going over your head.

We bought 2 cars from carsdirect recently. They rock. No haggling, very good prices. I like autobytel too.

Poor sales? I saw these things all over Switzerland, France and Italy. Hundreds of them.
Let me be the first to say: I find this to be a delicious new feature!
This is so overblown, I have absolutely no problems accessing Slashdot at wor[CONNECTION TERMINATED]
Right on.
In a couple years we'll be playing HD-DVD and Blu-ray through a $40 player made by Apex with a "Secret Menu".
Couldn't you just make 10 louder?

Something weird for me, every 50 searches or so, it goes straight to google.com/ig (the portal) when I hit google.com. Strange stuff.
