    We learned that M$ is now using PowerPC and Apple will be using x86. Talk about wife swapping.

  4. iSight on High-Definition PC Video Conferencing? · · Score: 2, Informative
    It's a rather inexpensive solution and it supports 640x480, 30fps and a stereo mic. It's not quite 720, but it's pretty damn close.

  10. Let's reverse it... on Large Prize Offered For Writing Mac Virus · · Score: 1
    And make it a bounty on the head of the first guy to write a virus and to infect a computer running OSX. I for one will not sleep any better to know that I have to start worrying about viruses.

    Symantec is looking at the Mac market as a complete wash and may be upset with the lack of need for their products. Maybe if they were clever, they'd write a "hole" in Norton to allow a virus to propogate via computers with Norton installed. Talk about creating your own marketplace.

  12. Question to Developers... on Apple Settles with Tiger Leaker · · Score: 1
    I understand that we all like to get stuff first etc. We've all signed NDA's in some fashion, most of us comply simply out of respect more than fear of retrobution. Being that this guy is developing for the Mac wouldn't it be safe to assume he's a zealot?

    Being a zealot wouldn't you want Apple to succeed? Knowing that you're armed with Apple's latest and greatest wouldn't you become a guardian or do you simply fold like a fat, drunken security guard sleeping at the gate?

    Trade secrets are just that, secret. Why are so many people blabbermouths when it comes to hidden information? It'll all come out eventually, why can't you just be happy that you know something before everyone else? Can't you just come out and say, Apple is working on some really cool stuff and not be specific?

    It's rather mind boggling.

  16. Access... on Companies Claim iTMS, iPod Patent Infringement · · Score: 1
    From the formulated reasoning, payment account must be established BEFORE access is granted to use the software or apparatus. ITMS CAN be accessed and browsed etc without the input of any payment information. Also purcahses can be made without credit card info simply by providing a valid winning cap from a Pepsi bottle. This lawsuit is founded on quicksand.

  18. Boycott on Floaters are the New Pop-Ups · · Score: 1
    I think we, as a /. community, should boycott all companies and their products that are advertised in this fashion. This may end web advertising as we know it.

  20. Hold it right there Dr. Smith... on United Kingdom Leads the World in TV Downloads · · Score: 2, Informative
    First of get your examples straight...

    Your first example is of Catherine Zeta-Jones, she's Welsh not British.

    The second is Thandie Newton, while her father was British, she's Zambian and her mother was the princess of Zimbabwe.

    The third I'm not familiar with.

    Elizabeth Taylor, while BORN in England, is painfully American. Both parents were from St Louis and she only resided in the UK for seven years.

    Your only true correct example is Elizabeth Hurley.

    I think you're leaving out the fabulous Bond girls that were English. I'm not sure of all their names, but you could've researched your torts much better.

    Peace

  21. Re:Ripe for cracking on Napster To Campaign Aggressively Against iPod · · Score: 2, Insightful
    It's granted that there are products to strip the DRM from the ITMS downloads, however; I think the RIAA is satisfied enough that they have already gotten their royalty check from Apple because someone purchased the song. With the Napster deal, you can download their entire catalog, strip the files and then cancel the service.

    Anyone for a competing service? Just as many songs as Napster... Only $.50... No DRM!!! Available anywhere

    Peace

  22. Is it libel? on Napster To Campaign Aggressively Against iPod · · Score: 1
    Or is it FREE advertising for Apple? I know that Creative won't say the words Apple or iPod, they'll simply say "our competitors." If Napster is somehow successful in their campaign, then I think you might see Apple's lawyers placing the big hurt on the little blue pussy, ummm cat. Till then I think they'll ride the free ad campaign.

    Peace

  23. Here we go again... on House Approves Electronic ID Cards · · Score: 1
    It's NOT the US citizens that need to be watched, it's the foreign nationals whose visa somehow lapses. Getting a parking ticket in Chicago has nothing to do with speeding in Colorado. I do agree that if a warrant is issued for a felony that it should be flagged, however; misdemeanors and your record should not just be available to any podunk cop that wants it.

    1984 is closer than you think, thanks to the broad powers given to the state via the PATRIOT Act.

    Know your rights and speakup!
