"MacBook Pro" doesn't quite roll off the tongue as nicely as "Powerbook". The syllables in "MacBook Pro" seem much choppier. The new labels are also confusing with regards to the "i" product line (iBook, iMac) and the "Power" product line (Powerbook, PowerMac).
My guess is that people are going to find a shortened name for "MacBook Pro" in the same manner that people came up with "Al-book" and "Ti-book", and that's where the "MacBook Pro" and "MacBook" naming similarity is going to be troublesome.
It wasn't all cheesy. Scientists really are looking into the possibility that fresh water from melting glaciers might be diluting the ocean's salinity. That makes it increasingly difficult for cooling water to sink and return south towards the poles to pick up more heat. This kind of disruption could cause Europe's climate to cool down. We're already seeing signs that a component of the current system powering the Gulf Stream might be slowing down. Besides, the subject could use a publicity, and a high profile film provides just that.
Yes, it's not fair to use numbers of people to compare two countries with drastically different population sizes.
But one thing we can say is that, of all the broadband users in the world (borders and nations aside), they're going to make up the largest portion of that chunk.
Population percentages aside, their broadband companies have more customers than our broadband companies.
But yes, the article should still mention percentages.
File names get truncated when file attachments are downloaded in Yahoo! Mail (in Firefox, but not in IE).
For example,
"Water_Sample_from_Your_Kitchen.doc"
becomes
"Water" (no file extension, usually)
"Water Sample from Your Kitchen.doc"
also becomes
"Water"
I've tried contacting Yahoo! Mail Help about it multiple times, but they kept responding saying that they didn't see the problem. But I've seen in Mozillazine and independent blogs that other people have reported the same problem.
Indeed. Yahoo Launch's incompatibility with Firefox has long irritated me. For now, I guess you could use the radio features of Launch using Yahoo! Messenger 6. That should bypass any browser compatibility problems and serve as a temporary workaround.
(Hopefully, Yahoo! Mail will also fix their Firefox problems in the file attachment downloading area.)
In every environment I'VE worked in, it has never been easy to just reposition the PC so that I couldn't hear it. (Unless, by "position", you mean move it into another room.)
I think that it's about time we had quieter computers. Hundreds of thousands of college students sleep very close to their computers (and their roommates' computers). And I'm guessing that housepets' hearing is much more sensitive than our own.
People ask for alternative fuels. A large company like ChevronTexaco, who has the power to actually make these good changes happen> , listens. Then people bash them for doing so because they're involved with the petroleum industry. What is it that you want?
Strange. People complain that IE doesn't have tabs. Yet, the moment that IE adds tabs, people accuse Microsoft of "stealing" from Firefox. What exactly do you guys want? Do you want tabs or not?
$80? The Apple Mouse costs $29.00. The Apple Wireless Mouse costs $59.00. These prices come directly from the Apple Store online. I don't know where you're buying your Apple mice.
Obviously, piracy can never be stopped entirely. That's not their goal. They want to reduce it as much as possible, and most of the non-nerd population are not constantly worrying about DRM.
I find nothing wrong with the word "blog", as do a significant number of other people in this world. Don't act as though your opinion is the only one that matters.
I notice that you mentioned bypassing firewalls with VOIP software. I've tried that over a course of seven years with no success, or at least not with iConnectHere anyway. Supposedly, some programs like Hummingbird SOCKS can help some programs like IM clients (and maybe Net2Phone) bypass firewalls. Are you accessing the Internet through an ISP that blocks ports? I've known multiple ISPs in foreign countries that do that.
Let's think of it this way. Let's say that California decided to break away from the United States, and the rest of the world recognized it...except for the United States, which decided not to recognize California as an independent nation, regardless of the views of the rest of the world.
Do you think that the U.S. would really just let a state or two break away and declare independence?

Me neither. I saw right past that.

Not quite.

Technically, Slashdot is a blog too.

The Yahoo! Toolbar does more than just searching, you know.

"Secondly, if you are hoping for a noticeable performance gain in regular computing tasks are in for a disappointment."
This sentence must've been written in a hurry.

I think that the Mac version of the IE icon looks pretty slick. I hear that Mac IE is much better than the Windows IE.
Oh, and so does Yahoo! Mail.
Hotmail also has this feature now, I've noticed.
Your electric bill must be rather high.
