I ahve a feeling that at a conference such as this, you will many higher-ups in companies that are not the most technically advanced. Trying to tell them to setup a VPN on their own computer would be like trying to tell them to increase the budget for the IT department, it just won't happen. So it becomes someone's responsibility to do this for the user, or the Wi-Fi companies need to make it easy enough for the general user to setup the encryption themselves. Is it the fault of general user that they don't want to spend hours researching how to setup encryption for a result they can't see or is it the fault of the Wi-Fi companies for not making it esay enough for the general user to setup out of the box?
I cannot agree with this statement, it is like saying, because there is a more difficult way to do something, we shouldn't improve it. The other major problem I have with MathML not being supported is that it is a standard by the WC3 for awhile now and Mozilla, albeit is one of the better browsers for it, hasn't stepped up to the plate and got this resolved.
Even if it is a slow news day, the poster should consider the source of the rumor, I mean how long until stories from MacOSRumors.com start getting posted here? Even though this article is clearly spectulation,(still contains references to the possible purchase of Universal Music) it can be damaging to the Apple community.
Although rumors about Apple are interesting sometimes, we should not validate them by giving them "primetime posting" on Slashdot. I await the day when I can see an Apple Keynote or announcement and be surprised by what is released instead of being let down by overly ambitious rumors.
Music and TV not quite the same thing

Should Apple Buy TiVo?

· Score: 2, Interesting
I think the reason Tivo has been mildly successful is not because of the programming on TV, but because of the features it has. Since most computers can get these same features with a simple TV card, I couldn't see Apple trying to offer this as a service. If they make it easy to record and more importantly, share programing over a network, then I could see Apple being interested. It seems like the Music Store thing has prompted all sorts of expectations for Apple to delve into other forms of media, but I would hope that Apple makes sure the Music Store continues to be a success before diving into these deep pools.
I work for a center that has one of the 12" Powerbooks and coming out of the box, the computer wobbled. After giving it a minor twist, it seemed to fix the problem, but it definately comes back after it heats up. Now when it cools down though, the wobble does go away, so it appears a little twist may solve the problem. Although the only reason I did that is because it isn't my computer and it is under warranty.

Wait for it... Yes yes, the black hole around Uranus is not quite to scale.

I saw a teenage girl leafing through a 3-ring binder full of CD-R's with band/album names drawn on the CD-R with a black marker.
Yes, but the real question is, did she respond to the "Show me your boobs" sign that you have in the rear window of your car?
Tang. I mean if the shuttle program is stopped, will there still be the ever present supply of Tang still be available?
might not be able to get Parachute installed, but I don't have no pops!
