Some people think "North" when they hear about Korean military stuff.
Of course, if the past Olympics, Asian Games, and other efforts are any indication, many Koreans are trying to disregard the directions altogether - most refer to the country as "Korea," no bloody North, South, C, or D.

iPod Photo already added TV-out. Of course, the "video" is a photo slideshow with music, but all you need is the ability to decode video (firmware might do it, but something tells me something like H.264 might need a better CPU - maybe an XScale?)
If Apple could negociate more compatibility, I think they could serioiusly gain some more marketshare.
Spelling aside, how exactly would they gain more marketshare? In the US, iTMS is estimated in the 75-80% range (at most Apple keynotes, but whatever). I think that would be a very healthy marketshare to maintain from a business standpoint - anything more, and they'd have to bend to the music companies. As it is, there are still other options, options that Apple can let the music industry mess with and fail miserably - then point back to iTMS.
Nah, SCO is a very small scum of the earth. They just make up for it by being extra-scummy.
Ah, I see, that makes sense. I was always told that being small doesn't matter if you can make up for it with a good performance...er, uh...I mean my friend was told that...yes...my friend...(runs away)
The Italian PM office's news site for Arab countries?! Who regularly checks that? (Other than those in Arab countries concerned with the news from the Italain PM's office...)
Isn't it a little premature to call Rokr a failure? I mean, sure, it wasn't the Apple-designed mana-from-heaven iPod phone many wanted, but other than that, what's so bad about it?
I ordered one yesterday at the Gold Coast Cingular store in Chicago (about two blocks from the Apple North Michigan Ave store) - one guy was already in there playing with the one demo model, and right after I walked in, two people walked "wanting to see the Rokr". From the looks of it, Cingular is special ordering all these, or at the least, can't keep them in stock in stores just yet.
Remember iPod mini's debut? Who would pay just $50 less for a mini iPod that had (at the time) 16GB less space? Or what about the iPod itself? $299 was just too much for a 5GB MP3 player. Yet both flew off the shelves, each at their own pace, but both were doubted at their beginning.
I wanted a new phone, with Bluetooth to use my Prius' hands-free system and the ability to use at least some of my iTMS songs on it. So I can't load my entire 6.5 GB music library, but my main playlist only has 80-90 songs, big deal. It doesn't look like an iPod, but quite frankly, I'm glad. Phones are primarily for making calls, and I like to use numbers to call people, not swing a clickwheel around to rotary dial - why should there have to be a clickwheel on the phone when I know of no one today that would prefer a rotary dial over touch-tone phone.
Let's wait at least until mid-week to decide if this was a failure - iTunes Japan surprised everyone in just a week, and most of the buzz has been about the nano all this week (which absolutely rocks, but is too expensive to just replace my iPod as my car's jukebox). If sales numbers are where I think they might be, this "failure" might surprise everyone just like the last two mispriced, misplaced Apple pieces.

Google does have a stake in Baidu.com, and they're also a rumored takeover target for Google. It's only a minority stake, but still, most analysts say that Google is aligning itself financially toward Baidu.com, while Yahoo recently made a large investment in one of Baidu.com's rivals, Alibaba.

1000 feet? Nice, a "space elevator" (circa 2005) almost two-thirds the way to the top of the Sears Tower (circa 1973).

Anything requiring 50% or greater of full Death Star power to destory is a planet.
Anything requiring 25% to 50% is a moon (Wait, that's no moon!)
Anything less than 25% is a rock.
(Those of other interests can substitute "Xindi Superweapon" for "Death Star" in above definition)
Wow, you screwed that one up, I'm not sure what to say...where do we send people who can't even get the Soviet Russia joke right?

So when you put in "Slashdot articles" does it just get stuck in a loop finding all the dupes?

Finally putting the two largest scum of the earth together!!
SCO's involved in this?

UT 2004 comes with the Linux and Win versions on the same media. Other than that, uh, yeah, what he said.
Apparently this probe (the Mars Global Surveyor) went into "safe mode" before in its mission.
