and I tested this out. Searching for "Tiananmen square" yields plenty of results, but 90% of them weren't accessible. I never had any other "connection problems" other times I was on the web.
Nobody seems to be addressing the real issue here. As noted in Lowtax's post, what's ridiculous about this lawsuit is that Apple is taking legal action against SA for something that isn't even on their servers. All that is posted in the offending thread is a link to the service manual on someone else's webspace. Apple threatening SA and their ISP is absurd, they have done absolutely nothing wrong.
It feels to me that this review is a little biased. For example, the authoer says that this notebook shuts down "sometimes without warning" if the batteries get too low, and he says that this is a good thing! I can't imagine this "feature" succeeding on a more mainstream laptop...
Psh, I don't think google would complain if you chose to back up your HD on their service, especially if that backup contains birthday lists, etc. etc. All backing up your HD on google will do is make their advertisments more pinpointed towards you.
Cars. People might scoff, but 'car culture' is very similar to 'computer culture' (Think about it, some people are all about making their machine more powerful, some are into looks, some enjoy mechanical work, etc.), so the switch would be relatively easy. With cars, you can learn a useful skill, have the potential for a whole new social group as well as have a good topic to talk about with your typical 'average Joe' American guy. Anyways, it's a fun, and very practical, hobby to think about as an alternative to sports.
But this is capitalism, and the free market, hard at work. I mean, it makes perfect sense. I'm a CEO, I have two potential employees. One, willing to work for $20 an hour, the other willing to work for $3 an hour. Hmmm, which would you choose? If the $3 dollar worker is inferior, then I'll hire 5 more $3 dollar workers, and I'll still be saving money. It's economics, suck it up.
Fortunately, capitalism has a great method of fighting this type of behavior. If Dell is using poor business practices, it's quite simple, don't give them money! It's the most powerful statement you as an individual can make!
I know this isn't exactly what you're looking for, but if you're a student, Mac will give you a 10-30% discount if you buy a whole system. That means, if you buy a whole system (at 10-30% off), you can grab a 40Gb iPod for 399USD.

Did you read the article? The bill does specifically states that spam must be labeled, but it fails to mention how. All that labeling will do is make it so spammers have to cleverly hide the word "ad" somewhere in their email. And judging by how smart spammers can be at hiding this sort of thing (think about it, '<a foo>a<!--SDOIGNSDG!--><a>d' or something like that...), I don't think that labeling will do a damn thing.
According to the article....
"Gateway, which currently offers Microsoft Corp.'s (nasdaq: MSFT - news - people) server software and Red Hat Inc.'s (nasdaq: MSFT - news - people) version of Linux..."
Mmm, Redhat seems to have been acquired by Microsoft... Microsoft is taking some pretty drastic measures to compete with Novell...
If there was a buy out of Novell, it would definately spell the end of Red Hat. Imagine how strong of a Linux powerhouse IBM or Cisco owning Ximian, Suse, and Novell would be. Both desktop and server would benifit immensely.
A little side note: check out these two stock graphs of Novell and Red hat, on the day Suse was aquired.

Do people not even read the /. summary any more? The question is regarding the top cell-phone based services, not cell-phone carriers.
Citigroup rolled this out in Singapore a month or two ago, here's a pretty good overview

Sure they don't advertise it, but Hello is a Google product...
This is definately a project I would like to see some press behind, it is far from "unique." Slackwiki has been around for quite a while.
how is Steam spyware? THAT is the major shortcoming in the anti-steam argument, and I've yet to hear a good answer to it.

Now AOL users can move away from AOL's "proprietary, monolithic app" to Outlook express! Wait a second...
