They should start requiring thumbprints at the ATMs. I'm typically a privacy freak, but I woldn't be averse to something like thumbprint readers installed on my bank's ATMs.

Additional Advice
- Don't turn down any amount, no matter how small. Apply for everything for which you're eligible, and be thrilled with any awards you receive, no matter how big or small.
- You don't get anything without lots of hard work. This will be your first experience with this. People don't give handouts. You don't get recognized for just existing. Get involved in activities like science fair, forensics (debate), a Westinghouse project, a Duracell project. These will take a lot of your time to do right so that you can win. If you're already a senior it's too late for a lot of this. I started the summer before my sophomore year on my science fair/Westinghouse project and October of my senior year on my Duracell project.
- Watch out for scholarship search scams. Don't give anyone money for identifying scholarships for which you're eligible, unless it's a legit private counselor.
- Scour the Web. There's a ton of advice about everything on the Web. Google like mad. Check out about.com. Look at Google Goups archives. See what's at Yahoo. You're going to have to get good at research for college. Might as well get started now.
- Check out the magazine reports on the best value colleges. I forgot what magazine puts out this report. I'm sure it's at your library and in your counselor's office.
- Like others have said, don't be stuck on private schools. I was sure I would go to an ivy league school. I thought it would make a difference on my resume. It really doesn't. Go to a state school. If you still think it matters for your resume, get into the honors program at your state school. At the University of Texas, a degree from the Plan II honors program is thought of as highly as many of the top name private schools.
- Consider attending a state school for a couple of years and then transferring into a private school. Your degree will still be from the hoity-toity school, but you'll have saved two years' worth of tuition.
- Take the SAT several times. Your score will most likely go up, and no one notices the number of times you take the test. Invest in some SAT preparation as well. There are lots of books to help with this.
Well, obviously, it wasn't called "inkwell" on the Newton.:/
Actually, I'm pretty sure the handwriting recognition utility was called Inkwell as far back as the Newton, just like Graffiti was called Graffiti on the Newton way back when and still has the same name in the Palm OS.
At What point in the Newton's life did you try inkwell? By the time the got to the 2100 model Newton, the handwriting recognition was actually beginning to get usable. Now that several years have gone by -- and now that it has been integrated into OS X for about a year -- it will be interesting to see how Inkwell has developed.
Also, keep in mind that it was possible to load Grafitti on the Newton and use it instead of Inkwell. If your handwriting couldn't be recognised by Inkwell there was an alternative.
Actually, I believe Fred Anderson said that the iTunes Music Store basically broke even last quarter. He didn't have precise numbers at that time (or if he did, he wasn't sharing them), but that what he did have indicated that it was already out of the red for the most part.

Massive Blackout Hits Northeastern States
3 minutes ago
NEW YORK - A huge power blackout hit U.S. cities spreading from New York to Cleveland and Detroit and north into Canada Thursday afternoon.
In New York City, the blackout affected subways, elevators and airports, including John F. Kennedy and LaGuardia airports.
Thousands of people streamed into the streets of lower Manhattan in 90-degree heat.
In Toronto, Ontario, too, workers left their offices after the blackout hit shortly after 4 p.m. EDT.
Traffic lights were out throughout downtown Cleveland, creating havoc at the beginning of rush hour.
There were reports of outages in New Jersey and Connecticut as well.
Every prison in New York state reported a loss of power and had switched to backup generators, said James Flateau, a spokesman for the state Department of Corrections.
White House officials were monitoring the blackout from Washington and from San Diego, where President Bush (news - web sites) addressed troops at midday.

Power Outage Hits Major U.S., Canadian Cities Reuters
Thursday, August 14, 2003; 4:59 PM
NEW YORK - A massive power outage swept across swaths of the eastern United States and Canada on Thursday, leaving sections of New York City, Detroit, Cleveland and Toronto without electricity, witnesses said.
Subways in New York came to a complete halt, and power was out at all three of the New York area's major airports. Commuter train service also came to a halt, and cellular telephone service was disrupted.
The Oyster Creek nuclear power plant in Forked River, New Jersey was not functioning, according to people familiar with the plant's operation.
A spokesman for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security said they did not know the reason for the power outages, but said the department was looking into it.
For $20, there's plenty of non-junk that could be bought at WalMart...
CD or DVD, a console game, kitchen gadget, plants, bath items, fabric/patterns for a sewing project, sports gear (a basket ball, tennis balls, fishing tackle, a new jock strap, whetever), even a board game or playing cards.
All of these items could enhance someone's life. Just because they come from WalMart doesn't make them evil.
Furthermore, I think the poster suggested WalMart simply because it's a store that everyone is familiar with and where someone anywhere would be able to obtain something they like for $20. He/she could have just as easily suggested Whole Earth Provision Company, but considering this is a store only available in Austin carrying items related to the outdoors and travel, WalMart probably delivered the point he//she was trying to make better, which is that he/she rewards himself/herself by shopping for a little something.
If I tell you to blow your nose with a kleenex, you'll know what I mean better than if I tell you to blow your nose with a non-bleached, organic, pure cotton handkerchief.
We can't determine who won the popular vote, because all the ballots weren't counted. The idea of a popular vote is meaningless when we employ the electoral college system. We can't even really say who got how many total votes, because we don't have a total. Once a candidate gets a statistical majority, the state stops counting. So Texas, for example, probably had 49% of the ballots not counted, because Bush probably was chosen on the first 51% of the returns (an extreme example not representing actual numbers, but you get the idea). Since military votes are often the last ballots reviewed (or not, as the case may be), we could expect to see a Republican's votes tic up as the night wears on, if we counted all the votes.
2) Several county that typically votes overwhelming in favor of Democrats went to Republicans. Worse, outside polls of the people resulted in clear predictions that they had voted for the Democrats. Most people believe this was an accident related to a poorly designed but officially approved butterfly ballot. If the outside polls are an accurate reflection of how people attempted to vote, then Gore would have won, even if the Republicans got the Military vote and the Democrats did not get any of the "questionable votes".
First, those who Democrats claimed were confused by the ballot didn't vote Republican by mistake -- they voted for 3rd party candidate Pat Buchanan. It's interesting that the DNC hired a telemarketing agency to do a push poll even before the election had ended to introduce doubt in voters' minds. In order for them to get this all set up, they would have had to have determined that the ballot might be confusing prior to the election. And yet they stayed quiet until the results started to come in and were closer than they would have liked. This indicates to me that this was a strategy they kept in their back pocket to use if the need arose. They decided it was needed and utilized the call center and the media to germinate the seed.
Second, Democrats only contested the results in three counties that were heavily left wing and that also were notorous for election corruption. If they were truly concerned about the results, they would have demanded a statewide recount. The fact that they insisted on only recounting the three counties indicates that they weren't interested in objectivity; they were just looking for a way to make the results tip in their favor.
because according to Florida state law, when their vote is close(Which you have to be an idiot not to believe)
Actually, there needs to be a specific margin determined. If the results for each candidate are within, say, 1% of each other, the legislature must decide which side goes to the electoral college. The law gives a specific number -- not just "close". I forget what that margin was, but, as I recall, Bush was ahead by enough that the decision could not go to the legislature. This is one of the reasons why the Gore team insisted that only the Miami/Dade/Broward counties were re-counted -- and why they pushed for the recounters to be lenient in their treatment of the ballots (dimpled chads in their favor, etc). Not only did Gore have to find more votes than Bush but he had to overcome that margin to keep the legislature from overriding the election results.
I don't belong to either party. My own view is that Gore's team tried to bend the law in their favor when they didn't get the results they wanted, starting with the push polls, and continuing to focusing only on three extremely liberal counties, imposing delay (which allows room for corruption). Along with the history in these counties of corruption swaying elections toward liberals, I see this as a case of desperate hair splitting straw grasping and some under-the-table action. I see Bush more in the defensive position. For this reason, I don't buy the argument that Bush "stole the election."
AFIK, all we have is a yoga class once a week that you can take during your lunch hour.
It's not like they gather up all employees for a cross-legged hum session each morning or anything. In fact, in the 4 years I've been here, I've never seen any information about meditation classes, sessions, etc.
Just yoga, and just a class offered through the fitness center. Nothing article-worthy, in my opinion. At least not any moreso than writing about the spinning or step aerobics class would be.
The article also makes it sound like we can get rubbed down for free anytime we want. We do have a massage lady who is available weekly (maybe more at other sites), but these are not subsidized by the company, besides providing her a room. We pay for the massages.
So many people state this as a fact, but does anyone ever state anything specific? It's a project of the Chinese government, therefore it is plagued by corruption? Or are there specific incidents that we should know about?
There are too many examples to put down here.
A dead simple google search will answer your questions and make you not look like such an ignoramous.
I can provide one example, since you're probably too lazy to click the link. One of the most well-known examples of corruption and the one I'm most familiar with is that municipal officials responsible for coordinating the relocation of towns and cities and doling out the compensation to the residents were pocketing the cash. This was reportedly extremely wide-spread, being more the norm than the exception.
From another perspective, the revenue from the 4.5 billion cash reserves acts as a giant safety net, enabling Apple to take some risks (Music Store, OS X, , iPod, Cube...) without having to worry that it'll break them.
So, while they may not be making money right now, they're paying their bills -- and making a lot of cool shit in the process that will have them better positioned later on.
This stategy is deliberate. The idea is to give R&D as much cash as the company can spare while still maintaining a comfortable hover.
It's a careful balance. Not everyone has been able to swing it. Take Gateway, for example. One quarter ago they had 1 billion in the bank. But because they have a negative balance sheet that they've been unable to pull out of, they're eating into these reserves. They're down to 800M this quarter. Where's the money going? It's a combination of not enough revenue and out of control operating expenses.
Running in place is not a good thing to do, if you're doing it just for the hell of it. But if you're running on a treadmill generating electricity, you're still running in place, but you're also getting indirect benefit out of your efforts. In Apple's case, the benefits include incremental market share gains (albeit limited right now), innovation, brand positioning (Retail stores), etc.
Sure, going gangbusters would be better. But in the current economic climate, Apple is making the most out of the hand they've been dealt. In fact, I don't think it could be handled better.
"Why have a policy that you selectively break when its ?really not true??"
Because in this case rumor and speculation brought the stock down nearly 10% in one day.
Apple doesn't always respond when the rumor is untrue, but, in the rare event when bad journalism ends up affecting the value of the company, you better believe they'll release a statement.
UT has about 50,000 students attending at any given time. Given this, probably what was taken were the records of currently attending students.
I suspect that we alums probably have less to worry about, though vigilance is probably still a good idea.

Best Buy is selling Apple products now in select stores: iPods, CPUs and accessories.
I would recommend calling to see if the store(s) near you sell Apple stuff yet.
