suggest you read David Bank's Breaking Windows [amazon.com]. It has a lot of great information about the browser wars and what really happened, as apposed to the popular myths and misinformation proffered on Slashdot.
I will follow your advice and not read that book, considering the fact that a post on slashdot is recommending me to read it, and, like you said, slashdot has nothing but myths and misinformation. Right?
...can pay for Cancer, why the hell shouldn't Apple pay for hearing loss? Even though music is not addictive like tobacco? Who the hell cares, this is US, is it not? sue, sue, sue.
Hear, Hear. In my book google just went from [Do No Evil] to [Do Good] and [Kick the motherfuckers who want to deprive me of my constitutionally given rights in the teeth].Long Live Google.
What do you mean Maybe MS will finally get laid. They have been getting laid for a long while now. Or is screwing someone not the same as getting laid?
I understand your point, but let me elucidate what I meant.
I have been using Sony's NetMD(3+ Years) and iPOD (2+ Years). Now, in order to use NetMD, you need to use Sony's Proprietary Hardware Software combination to listen to Music. I will not even comment about Sony's Music format,ATRAC3. You can look up on google about it. iTUNES, on the other hand, does NOT require me to use the iPOD. Can I not buy music from iTUNES without using any apple hardware at all? Of Course I can, whereas For Sony, I can bet my largely unused MD Player that I will NOT be able to watch their movies without buying something other than the movie from them. Apple's logic of promoting iTUNES has always been to promote the sales of iPOD. But in no way using iTUNES binds you to Apple's platform. With, Sony, the reverse is true.
I am not a big fan of apple, but then they have got some things right,and Sony is no Apple.
Sony just wants control of the market., IMHO usually are clueless when it comes to such maneuvers. The NetMD was an abortion. They always try to push their proprtietary formart/device to th market thinking that it will gurantee them market dominance. What the stupid buggers do not realize is that they LOSE market share because of such stupid tactics. Same thing here. They will try something in a similar vein with proprietary stuff, and another apple will come along and take over the market with non-proprietary standard. Like you said, Read between the Lines. They just want to gain control of the market, but are clueless on how to do it.
OK, I understand that it was a typo. It was nice of you to provide as many as three permutations of the name in one sentence, but why did append your name at the end of the sentence?
I don't understand. If I were an Indian, I would be at least moderately happy that my developing country is finally catching up in some areas, at least. Why would you tell this poster to STFU? Or you one of those Indians who are living in US and are ashamed of their Native country. I know a couple of people like that. If yes, then I am sorry for India to have ignorant and un-appreciative citizens like you who bad-mouth their own country. I have worked with Indians IN India before and I think it a great country with lots of Potential. I just feel sorry for you.
You are absolutely right. I once worked on a project for implementing an SMS service for a portal to check availability of Movie tickets Online and they planed for 50,000 Hits an hour on a friday evening (when the New movies come out) in the City of Bombay. Moreover they were pretty non-chalant about it.
I recently went over to Malaysia for a holiday and went shopping for Music. 9 out of 10 discs sold there (Music and MPAA DVD's) are pirated. CD/DVD Art, lyrics, liners and all. It is almost impossible to identify if a disc is pirated or legal, except by price.

pssst... the spelling of signature on your website is wrong.
How would the browser know if Paypal is correct or Paypa1 is correct?

beats me!
What good is searching within a JPEG/WMA file? How would you do it anyway?
Tanga, the whistleblower in this story
The Name is not Tanga, it's Tena. Read the fucking article before posting.
If it was stolen, then how the hell did you (or your buddy) find out that it was stolen using the exact techniques described in the article? DoH!
I don't know what's mnore funny, the link, or the fact that you put a referer in there.
Some AC.
..so how long before a speak recognition engine comes out which can take your input in voice and search for the song?
