That's silly. You act as if Apple did some real groundbreaking work for mass marketing the next logical step (which has already existed.)
Two months ago, you had your choice of hundreds of different mini itx systems. Now everybody thinks the Mac Mini is a new idea, and that anybody making a small computer is a copycat.
I see the same thing happen when talking about the iPod as well. A hard drive in a portable music player was an evolutionary idea (notice the E at the beginning), and the logical next step. Hard drive players existed before first gen iPods shipped, but Apple's image as being different and hip advertised their product as if it was the only hard drive mp3 player you could buy.
I like Apple products, and they make quality hardware, but the examples you used were not revolutionary. They were next step, no surprises, and not even Apple's idea.
Unfortunately, when you dispose of governments in that way, you face a very real risk of becoming that which you are dealing with.
Reminds me of
"He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster. And when you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you." - Friedrich Nietzsche
Remember her "CS graduates should be grateful to work for minimum wage to stay 'competitive' in the world market" comment she used to justify outsourcing?? I am dancing a jig.
I drive deliveries for a local deli. We have a delivery charge during peak hours, but the drivers dont keep a cent of it. The reason why is to have 20 nurses in the same wing of the same hospital order once with 20 sandwiches, instead of 5 times with 4 sandwiches. $3-10 split across 20 people isn't much, but it adds up pretty quickly when you have 4 people ordering.
Uh, no kidding, junior. And no, it's not irrelevant whether or not my bank has a legitimate address. This way guarantees no false positives, as any bank correspondence that would show up in my primary email would have to be false. So confident, that you can add your bank's name to a spam filter and junk them all immediately.

Luke destroys the Sith and brings balance to the force, not Anakin.

I won't believe it until Netcraft confirms it.
This is all speculation, which in my opinion is the best kind of *lation.
You forgot copulation.
Looks to be that everything in the scene is a real photograph, also why there are wierd black blotches of no data.
Probably be better than the Mortal Kombat or Tomb Raider movies...
Up Up Down Down Left Right Left Right B A Start will never come in handy.
However, Up Up Down Down Left Right Left Right B A B A Start might still...
Oh how my family criticized me, saying things like "you won't be able to put your Contra high score on a resume."
The day I dreamed of is getting closer...

Me too, and me too. Maybe I'll just keep going to the same one, but wearing different fake mustaches and hats.
And how many of those are equal to one Rhode Island or Library of Congress?
So... slashdot the offsite backup?
Actually, you could just do what this guy does: http://www.big-boys.com/articles/topdui.html
That's from the Comedy Central show Reno 911. I doubt they have permission to use it and put their URL on it.
You can't wardrive in here, this is the war room!

Honestly, even if Enterprise had been considerably better, I really do feel that Star Trek would have crumbled under the weight of its own fans.

Only in Soviet Russia...
It must cost millions to play around with the buttons and have someone make a .rm file showing arbitrarily "where Santa is." T is for Troll.
Well, I don't anymore.
No kind, gift-giving soul would require RealPlayer to track him!
He bakes the case, we bake the server.
Their fancy pants technology is no match for a $2 pair of warm, fuzzy mittens. Try to read a print off of that polyester.
On the other hand, its time for me to build that homemade silencer that I've been putting off for the past few years...
I really hope that is a joke. Building a silencer is a sure ticket to a pound-me-in-the-ass prison for a long time.
Not a chance, there are games worth playing on the DS!
