I say re just re-invent the music distribution channels. 6 major corporations that control 99% of what we listen to is a scary thing. I only pay for CD's from small independent record labels. Otherwise, I steal from them, because they have no legitimacy in my eyes, because they basicly steal from the artists themselves to line thier pockets.
By the time of its close, Napster had contributed to billions of separate acts of copyright infringement, according to Monday's complaint. The record labels are seeking punitive damages of no less than $150,000 per violation of copyright, among other awards.
This means that the entire world GNP for 10 years will be given to the 6 major record labels.
My one comment about airport is that what seems very old for Apple (the original airport came out in 1998), is pretty new for PC's. Most people only have 802.11b routers given how cheap they are and that 802.11g has not yet been finalized. It really doesn't matter which standard you use if you only use it to share a broadband connection. And the other things, well Apple usually only puts out a product when it can do it the best. Ex. iPod, Airport, OS X, etc.
the new 12 inch and 17 inch powerbooks have no problems with screen imprints. In the MacWorld where they review the 12 and 17, they bring that up and say it is not a problem, but I don't know about the iBooks.
They are forgetting the random operating system crash that will make all those benchmarks null and void. I would not use Microsoft Windows on any system that I used for work that needs to be done well and fast.
The key word there is "existing". Do you really think Software companies are'nt going to jump on this bandwagon? Microsoft will show them numbers and a graph that points up, and then they will be sold.
At the Against TCPA site, they say something like this. If Microsoft controls the central server that authenticates all software, they are in the US. Therefore, the United States government could blacklist all of Iraq's copies of "Microsoft System Crippler", so that they have to use old computers. Also, Microsoft can deny software developers who do not "cooperate" (develop for linux/mac, just like during the brower wars)
You are forgetting the DMCA when you say that. If they said that out loud, Microsoft would send them a cease and desist letter claiming that they are violating the DMCA, Trade-Secret Laws, other shit that M$ can pull, etc.
Um, maybe none of you have noticed, but it looks like this backpack will not fit as well as many of you will expect a $200 backpack to fit. Look at the backpanel. It has circles. They will hurt your spine after a few hours. Also, the straps suck. And there is no way to lash things to the outside. And, it's got a teardrop shape that will not let you fits bokss or anything inside.
It is a freaking good idea. Imagine carrying your music around with you 24/7, and popping it inot the nearest player or just listening to it. Stop giving us your ideas and get to work on it.
200 dollar for a backpack is nothing for me. A cheap backpack goes for $150, mid range is $250, and for a North Face uber backpack, say hello to 400 to 500 dollars. I am talking about hiking backpacks, but even with backpacks that I carry to school I would be willing to part with $200 if it had good wieght distribution and a nice, comfortable frame.
for that to work, the name has to be desriptive: i.e. A man named McDonald owns the place.
so... If he made a true *box* that had access to the *i*nternet, he could sell it legally

But, the rumor was also featured on CNBC, CNN, and other financial news services. That makes me pretty sure that is going to happen.
Someone should make a FAQ for building this out of an old paintball gun. Wait, I might try making one....

Wouldn't it be funny if Uncle Billy bought all the books and had himself a nice bonfire.

What's scary about that is that I just realized it would probably happen.

This just in, Intel has patented sex! You must sign a licensing agreements and pay them, because they figured out how to insert part A into part B!
