Man, that is plain silly - after four hits of acid you don't need an iPod to see holographic stuff with surround sound, all you have to do is look around you.
doesn't anyone else here find it slightly odd that U2 are now prereleasing their stuff on iPod, after all that hoopla about the Edge losing a CD with all their new songs during a photoshoot? think about it: 1. if that had been true, all the songs would have ended up on Suprnova within three working days. to my knowledge, they have yet to appear on any of the p2p networks. 2. Bono starts going on about releasing the songs on iPod and what do you know, they come out with a none more black player loaded with their songs./conspiracy theory
not that anyone cares about U2 anymore anyway (I think that atrocious disco song did it for lots of people - plus Bono's voice seems to go higher with each album), but I thought I'd do my duty for the tinfoil-hat brigade:)
Q: There is talk of a Google browser. Internet Explorer has had its security woes. How do you keep users?
Gates: More has been invested in making IE secure than any browser on the planet by a long shot. Nothing is going to change. That's the one over 90% of people are going to keep using.
Let us all remember the line above then. Nothing is going to change? I think it will
THIS is the icing on the proverbial cake: If you're a parent and your child is withdrawing, you might wonder if your kid is getting into pot or cocaine," says Hilarie Cash of Internet/Computer Addiction Services in Redmond, Wash. "The symptoms are very similar." where do I start? this woman's NAME is Cash, for fuck's sake. she works for this ludicrously named 'Internet/Computer Addiction Services', which has got to be the stupidest place one can work at. and it's in REDMOND. yeah, some experts live down there alright. and then she comes out with DA BOMB: the symptoms for pot and cocaine are very similar. Er...no. And by that I mean just that, NO. she has obviously spent too much time studying, er...internet addiction (whatever the fuck that is, said he who keeps Firefox with three different RSS feeds open some 14 hours a day), and has yet to get around to studying proper gear, and its real effects. bloody Yanks. a shrink and a pill for every problem.
I believe it quite possible that you, sir, are an insensitive clod. Some of us are quite capable of both using computers and writing legible sentences, with no grammar mistakes and quite a bit of meaning too, thank you very much. It is this odd belief some people hold, that humans can only be good at one thing at a time, that drives intelligent people up the figurative walls of their minds.
Conversely, you could be working for Donald Rumsfeld...
What's going on? Someone posts a link to the RIAA on Slashdot and their server isn't/.ed yet??? Is everyone asleep or what? Tsk tsk tsk, how disappointed I am in the average Slashdotter - a little less conversation, a little more action, lads!
Come to Japan - we already have them. Digital camera/phone/PDA/MP3 player, all in one, and weighing less than 100 grammes. The funny thing is, they give them to you FOR FREE if you sign with the carrier. Google it up, you'll have some nice surprises (and drooling sessions, of course...)
Well of course a DVD player will play MP3's. You are forgiven though, especially since it dawned on you to try it while drunk - always a noble state of mind in my book. I do, however, have a question for you - how do you plan to carry your DVD player around?
I'm getting pretty tired of this whole 'Firefox doesn't render Slashdot correctly' thing. WHICH VERSION OF FIREFOX DOESN'T? Because versions 0.9.1-3 worked fine, and so does the latest one, and so will the official release. I swear to Buddha I don't know just WHAT people mean when they whine about it.
I'm no big fan of Apple (for reasons that are best left for when I feel like a good rant) but one has to feel sorry for them - if there is one sure way for a decent company to go under, it is to put McCartney on its board of directors.

a 'shopping and fucking' BOOK? oh, the horror...the horror...

...you forgot to mention the fact that, even though the link was posted on the front page of /. , it actually made it go faster.
this day is one for the books.

a decent PDA/Cell Phone/MP3 Player in one device

all the telephone sanitizers are busy with their rubber err...ducks?
Nah, they're all busy collecting dead leaves so they can be filthy rich. Before they decide to burn down the forests to stop inflation, of course.
did they have anything to do with python?
YES
It's DIE-rac, not dih-RAC
Sorry about that one then.
I still don't think the US media will use it, because it rhymes with (the bizarre way they choose to pronounce) Iraq .
...because it rhymes with Chirac.
