The New York Times is probably the most widely distributed newspaper in the world!
Actually, USA Today has the highest circulation of US papers. NYT has half the circulation of USA Today and WSJ. Three Japanese papers and one German paper have circulations above four million.
Then again, this really doesn't matter. Spread Firefox has done a wonderful job and should be commended.
(From the article:) "Of particular note is the rumor that Tiger Woods and NFS will be included with the PSP at launch. Not specified in the article itself, a GameSpy article included a subtitle of "Need for Speed Underground Rivals and Tiger Woods PGA TOUR Golf bundled with PSP."

No, it's not confirmed by any means, but it is a strong rumour.
You apparently didn't RTFA. This is the first time that Nintendo will be releasing a system in the US first. Japan's DS will be released a few days later, and Europe and Australia will see it in 2005.
In my area (Lawrence, KS), CBS, NBC, and PBS all broadcast (over-the-air) HDTV programming. PBS (and perhaps the others) have more than one HDTV channel running simultaneously - in other words, they can broadcast more than one program in HDTV at the same time.
In addition, the HDTV tier of my cable provider offers HDTV flavours of ABC, CBS, Discovery, ESPN, HBO, Showtime, and Cinemax. Also included are a generic HDTV programming channel and HDTV movie channel.
At least in this huge metropolis of 90,000, the programming is here.
If you mean that a movie production unit that has produced films that have earned nearly 1.2 billion dollars (and that's just in the top 100) isn't "grand"... I don't know what grand is.
The article fails to mention that Jobs can also play an increasingly large role in the proposed Disney/Comcast merger. Comcast's CEO, Brian Roberts, is trying to pursuade Steve Jobs to join ranks with Comcast. Since Pixar has been directly responsible for a very large portion of Disney's recent success, and since Pixar will be severing ties with Disney, if Steve Jobs endorses the merger and decides to renew the contract with Disney (because of the Comcast deal), stockholders will be significantly more inclined to approve the merger.
At least at the institution of higher learning I attend, an Incomplete is not immediately counted into either total credits or GPA. The student must complete the course by either 1) finishing up the necessary work, or 2) retaking the course at the soonest possible semester (excluding summer semesters). The choice of the two is up to the professor. The Incomplete is replaced by the grade earned by 1) or 2).
Out of the computers I've owned in, let's say, the past twelve years, only one has never had any sort of problem - and it was a Compaq. Last time I checked, Compaq wasn't exactly well known for well-built computers. The computers that have had something wrong include an Epson, an Acer, a Gateway, two Apples, and probably another one or two that I can't remember.
Even though my two main Macs have had one problem each, Apple's technical support has been nothing short of stellar. I purchased a PowerMac in August of 2002. The machine had some display problems. Apple two-day shipped me a replacement video card and DIMM. After those didn't solve the problem, I had to take the machine into a shop. Once I got the machine back (it apparently had a bad processor daughter card), I found that the local shop had broken my video card. Apple overnighted me a new video card - a video card better than my original one.
I'm sure my story isn't indicative of everyone's experiences with Apple's technical support, but I'm also sure that Apple's high technical support marks from major computer magazines isn't illusory, either.
Yes, that's true, but remember, this is the same guy who was whining about Linux's organizational structure because of the SCO fiasco.
Mac Rumors had this story a few weeks before Cringley did.

Bill Nye is, supposedly, putting together a new television entitled "The Eyes of Nye". Unlike the children's program, "The Eyes of Nye" will be aimed towards adults and will deal with controversial science topics. Also, Nye is serving as a professor at Cornell University, the university where he graduated from.
I'm glad to see him come back. I remember that he was a strong voice against the Kansas Board of Education's evolution nonsense. Although I was in college when the decision was passed, and my old high school wasn't even particularly governed by the KBOE since it was a private school, the ruckus that it created was quite loud. It was good to see a prominent science figure speaking out. Now that I'm an adult, I'm happy to see him speak to my current age group. Hopefully they can put out a good pilot, and hopefully someone will pick it up.
I'm confused as to what Walmart's impetus here is. Steve Jobs has very clearly stated that iTMS makes about squat for profit; it's just a pretty Trojan Horse to get people to buy iPods (and eventually Macs). Walmart doesn't have an MP3 player (that I'm aware) to push. Selling music to get people to buy MP3 players seems a bit more plausible than, say, selling music to get people to buy tires/clothing/cereal in Walmart stores.
The Neiman MarcusChristmas Catalog has a his/her set of programmable butler robots. The damn things will open the doors and, via their built-in camera, give you a view of your visitors before you get to the door. They also can help you bring in your groceries. They don't give a mention of whether they're able to do a fresh install of Gentoo, though.
All this for only... $400,000.
Homeland security is a great idea, but there hasn't been much as far as actual results yet.
Why is it that, when I heard "Department of Homeland Security," I think of the Ministry of Love and Ministry of Peace?
Apple's 20th Anniversary Mac dropped the one-button mouse in favour of the one-button trackpad; the keyboard and trackpad, though, were both fit with Italian leather (along with TV and FM radio tuner, custom Bose soundsystem, and S-Video input.) And you even got all this for only 7500$
