I was looking for one a few months back here where I live in Canada, and saw that all Radio Shack stores in the malls are now 'The Source by Circuit City." Exact same store though, just with a different sign.

I wonder if they or someone else will release Mac binaries finally?
Yes, I know you can install GnuCash using Fink, as that's what I do currently. But it would be so much more convenient to be able to download a standalone GnuCash.app like you can with Gimp, Frozen Bubble, OpenOffice, AbiWord, and others.
Maybe it's neither a tablet nor a new iPod that these patents are for (disclaimer: I didn't look at any of the patents). There have also been rumors about Apple cell phones, so perhaps these go hand in hand and Apple's making their version of the Blackberry?
If someone's stupid enough to pay thousands of dollars to buy a football just because it was supposedly used in a Superbowl game, then they deserve it if they get conned.
Similarly, I don't get all these auctions where an article of clothing sells for huge sums of money simply because a celebrity wore it once. Why's it suddenly worth so much more than getting the exact same thing from a store?
I just read the article, and I don't think the title of this posting should be "AOL to charge senders for incoming mail" but "AOL to charge senders to ensure email don't get flagged as spam."
From the looks of it, I could still send an email to a friend with an AOL address and not get charged for it. However... any any images linked to would be blocked, and links within the email would be 'non-clickable' unless you sign up for AOL's program. And the poster makes it sound like it's an expensive deal - the article mentions several times that the fee is "a fraction of a cent per email." Doesn't mention whether or not there's a hefty signup fee or not...
The article's about people having critical and/or sensitive files on their USB drive, and then losing it. As such, the files are lost as well. TFA is not about copying/stolen/pirated files.
From reading the comments, it's obvious that most of the posters haven't RTFAed. But what's new - this is Slashdot after all...
So to clue you all in:
The article is not about people stealing sensitive data from their workplace using their USB drives. The article is about people losing data, because they've lost the USB drive they had it stored on.
TFA is about losing or misplacing data because the USB drive it's stored on gets lost, not users stealing data as half the commenters (who obviously didn't RTFA) are talking about.
It's been a while since I've peeked into a PC's BIOS... Can't you disable USB in the BIOS setup? Or is that dependant on the particular BIOS? Then you can just set a password to prevent access to the BIOS setup menus.
So, how do I go about re-enabling the "x more..." display? I like the idea of having all the articles from a section display on the main page, but I promptly turned off the (IMO) ugly and distracting 'abbreviated sectional article summaries' for all other sections - but I would still like the bar on the left to tell me that there's something new there.
And while I'm thinking about it, how about, using cookies perhaps, making that number reflect the number of new articles in that section since I last read it, rather than whatever arbitrary time period was being used previously?
The problem is that many features in the iLife apps and OSX itself are tied to.Mac. For example, you couldn't use iPhoto's Photocasting function to upload your photos to whatever web hosting service you may already use. (I could be wrong... Jobs didn't say anything to imply that it would work with anything other than.Mac)
So you've just slapped down $x for some software, but you need to spend an additional $y to unlock all the features. So they should at least offer a more limited version of.Mac, with lower bandwidth and storage space for example, for free for an unlimited time.
Now if stuff like Photocasting was being billed as a.Mac feature, that added or unlocked additional functionality to iPhoto, that would be different than the way it is now - iPhoto has this feature, but it's useless without.Mac.
I downloaded and installed Flip4Mac a couple days ago when I first found out about it, and am not entirely pleased. I'd rather use WMP.
(as an aside, I don't know what everyone's complaining about? I haven't had any problems with WMP for Mac. Yes, there's less features than WMP for Windows, but that's what iTunes is for. I just need something that'll play WMV fles.)
With every video I've tried playing, whenever I close the video window after it's done playing, I always get a "Quicktime has quit unexpectedly. Would you like to reopen it?" message (can't remember the exact wording, but it's the usual message you get when an app has crashed).
And then I can't use Quicktime's "Export to iPod" option for playing on my iPod... I assume that's not a bug but rather they want me to pay extra to unlock that ability (yes, I do already have Quicktime Pro). Can anyone recommend a free WMV converter for OSX?
Doesn't mean every Windows PC out there will be magically patched within 24 hours... even with automatic updates turned on, it's still not like Windows is checking every 5 minutes for new patches.
Reminds me of one of the deleted scenes on the DVD for the movie Rat Race where the group of high rollers are in the casino playing Monopoly using real money...
Oops, misread that "non-copy-protected" part to mean none of the content was copy protected. I guess it means specifically that any non-copy-protected content will be DRM free, and copy protected stuff will have DRM.:(

Somebody should tell Apple.
Beneath the surface of Mac OS X lies an industrial-strength UNIX foundation...
They mean installing and booting it natively, so you can dual-boot OSX or Windows, not simply running it in an emulated or virtualized environment.
Didn't RTFA, I assume?

Actually, Pixar was started by George Lucas/Lucasfilm, and Jobs just bought it.

After reading the first intro page, I went looking for the "next page" button to get into the meat of the article...
...only to find out that the "intro" was the article in its entirety.
Seriously, why does Slashdot link to "articles" like this?

In KH2, they go to "real life" areas from Tron and Pirates of the Carribean. Those are likely what is being referred to.
It already does, and has for a while. Official instructions from Google are located here.
I've had several chats with my friend this way, with me using iChat and him using Google Talk.
