  1. Re:Support for Electrically Connected Accessories on iPod Tax Causes Sour Apples · · Score: 1

    If Apple is charging for the tech support for a proprietary interface, then all power to them. And if they are truly allowing such generic accessories such as cases to pass without a cut, then there should be no problem. I would find it had to believe that they are charging a royalty fee for earbuds. Personally I'd package them with a bold "Works with IPOD" (vs. the Made for IPOD) so the 90% of the customer that can't read with comprehension will still buy them.

  2. Fossil uel may not be fossils after all on 4 Tons Of Plants per Mile to Ride In Your Car · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Some researchers have speculated that hydrocarbon based fossil fuels may be of geological origon as opposed as from plants as most assume. one point in their favor....most all larger planets in our solor system have heavy concentrations of methane (natural gas) in their atmospheres....it would seemn to reason that hydrocarbons were also present in the early eath atmosphere. it also seen logical that a percentage was trapped in rock far below ground, and perhaps converted to heavier hydrocarbons by heat and pressure not unlike the process used to convert hydrocarbons today.
