NO NO NO...
the title for the article should read "First malicious worm for JAILBROKEN iPhones in the wild" because that is the only way to get it and lazy readers will just start running for the hills claiming how insecure the iPhone is.
is how pompous everyone here sounds!
People, this is Ma and Pa Kettle going to FREAKING BEST BUY for computer help! They are not 733t and have no idea what cleaning apps do... give it a rest.
Realize that in most cases this is what people do.
all the anti-virus companies are screaming about non-existant viruses on OSX. Get mac people buying their products before MS kills them with it's own inferior poop.
As a girl, like, totally 733t haX0r I can appreciate that there aren't like, more of us here... but puh leeze!
This pink, horsie obsessed nonsense is getting my estrogen in a bunch.
All I want is/. to cover all the really meaty tech news.
And shoes. Nice strapped pumps prefferably.
Oh, and I dig peasant dresses, they are so in right now.
Oh fuck it... leave the ponies!
Don't forget that Apple was also smart enough to let us turn off our Macs from the display power button. Very handy for me since I have my computers in a different room than my displays. It even works with KVM switches.
Know that of which you speak lest ye look like an ass.
SO, you are right in the abstract but you are missing the details.
Disney makes most of that money in marketing and licensing. NOT from box office.
in this case Disney has final say like a hen-pecked husband has final say in his house... "Yes dear, whatever you say."
The fact that Jobs has no creative input is moot, what he does have is a seat on the board and controlling interest. As such if Lasseter and Catmull call him up and say they need his backing on an issue, he will do it. He is very aware of what makes Pixar great.
You seem to think that Disney just snapped their fingers and created a CG division. Actually what they did was consolidate their assets from several location (Orlando, LA, New York). Remember there were at the very least 400 animators/modelers/TDs working on "Dinosaur" and many of them remained or were hired back over the years. 2 years is about right for a studio to produce a CG feature. Pixar has that number cut down and Animal Logic are trying to do it in 9 months for "Happy Feet", but the idea is the same. The pipelines have been in place for a while so this is no great feat.
Will we see more marketing of Pixar movies (toys, games, etc.)... sure. That is one of Disney's strengths right now. That doesn't make them bad. THey are just leveraging their content in the only way they know. That will even out over time as the Pixar mentality spreads to the right people at Disney.
Lasseter is in charge of story, so don't expect a slew of sequels. DO watch for a live action feature written and directed by Brad Bird. And ya know what... it will kick ass!
I would imagine that either Apple has already spoken to/made a deal with Viacom or their lawyers have advised that the use of the name (being in a completely different field) does not present a threat of dilution of trademark.
Check Apple's developer program. You get a hefty discount on your forst few machines as a registered developer as well as access to some really nifty toys.
Do you honestly think that Apple makes that large a margin?
Apple makes little more than the resellers. The real difference as has been reiterated time and time again is service and availability.
Here in South Florida there are a few Apple resellers as well as CompUSA and they ALL suck. Now we have 3 Apple stores and the resellers can complain all they want but they suffer in comparison of service, knowledgeability, and service... not on price.
It says pretty clearly in the documentation NOT to run the G5 with the fan shroud off.
Also, removing the shroud while the machine is operating is not advised. It will (should) shut down the machine.
Oh my god!
How could this be?
Please! If CNet published anything closely resembling a positive article on the Mac or Apple products I think the earth would open up and swallow us.
It's the pox e clipse!
SHEESH!
Unfortunately, you seem to forget the fact that in "Reloaded" the Architect explains that in each of the previous incarnations, there was a Trinity-esque character, there was no Smith and Neo always chose to return to the Source to save Zion and the human race (by choosing the next seed population).
Neo's choice of saving Trinity was the diversion in the stream of previous incarnations.
So let's get this straight. You worked at Apple (where?), but you use a pc at home for programming in C#... ok cool, then we can assume a fairly high level of expertise.
And yet... you can't get iTunes to run while very single one of my novice PC using family and circle of friends have no problem with it on any number of different systems. Sounds odd.
I use both systems. Windows is fine, it does the job. But it is also a pain in the ass to use. When I use my Macs I just feel like the computer is working for me not against me.
Use what you like but this post smells particularly FUDdish. Oh, and plug and play cameras were "WORKING" on the mac before they were on the PC. Let's not dredge up all those posts about plug and crash under Win95.
I teach animation at a large art college. I regularly see those students who surf the web or play online games during my lectures/demos. Ya know what? They are the same ones who will eventually fail out of school or at best graduate having learned nothing and end up in the food service industry... "Ya want fries with that?"
This has nothing to do with the content of my lectures, I have the majority of my students furiously taking notes or following along. This is animation we are talking about fer crissakes! Not physics or math or the history of the Peloponesian War!
There are simply always going to be those students who have no real drive or ambition, even at a very expensive private university. So, please... let's not blame the professors.
You are at school to learn regardless of the accent your teacher might have. To say that you are not going to learn because the teacher has an accent is small minded at best and bigoted at worst. Drop the class and register again with a different teacher. Unless it is a fairly rarified subject there are usually multiple professors available.

NO NO NO... the title for the article should read "First malicious worm for JAILBROKEN iPhones in the wild" because that is the only way to get it and lazy readers will just start running for the hills claiming how insecure the iPhone is.
And by lazy readers I mean tech journalists.
Apple Hasn't had a first foray into the mobile handset market. I believe he was referring to the Newton, which was indeed a total flop.
No. Notice the use of the term mobile handset? That is a phone.

Is this the same Linspire that was such a huge market success in the home computer arena? OOO, yes... let's take business advice from him!
Check Apple's developer program. You get a hefty discount on your forst few machines as a registered developer as well as access to some really nifty toys.
My apologies to all then... my sarcasm filter was set on high.
Damn! I didn't know Apple had magic pixies (iPixies(TM)) making their laptops!
Cost of parts 0... what bizarro world economics class did you take?
Do you honestly think that Apple makes that large a margin?

is a modified G5! I wonder how that looks for MS to be shipping Macs to all it's XBox developers. Hmmmm, can you run OSX on it?
You could always just capture the penny streams with AudioHiJack (I am sure there is a PC equivalent as well).
Just curious... since when is 500,000 (or is it 600,000) considered meager?
It says pretty clearly in the documentation NOT to run the G5 with the fan shroud off. Also, removing the shroud while the machine is operating is not advised. It will (should) shut down the machine.
