Based on my experiences during my short residence in Italy, I conclude that the ISP's will meet the law by putting the prohibition in their service contract, "accesso vietato a Pirates Bay". It is cheap. requires them to do no monitoring of data or users and satisfies the court. The Italians choose their words carefully, particularly when they want to give an impression that varies from reality. Block is static not active - you may erect a road block, but a FIAT 500 can probably drive through, around or under it with little or no effort.
The author says, "If Apple can't take customer questions seriously, maybe we shouldn't take its iPad hype seriously."
Clearly the author has difficulty reconciling reality with the hype, and the questions he puts out there have been answered: If Apple doesn't explicitly say you can do it, don't expect to be able to do it. How hard is that to understand? The reality is disappointing only to people who know what the device "might have been".
A niche market is not defined by the product, but by the consumers.
The most important question is "Has Apple found a niche for this product that other Tablet PC manufacturers have been unable to find?"
The answer is, "Yes". I won't be part of the niche, and I won't recommend it to anyone - until at least the second generation.
Whether one uses a lever, a classic machine, or a balloon to raise an object is irrelevant. The fall from it is not aided by the machine. Using your (il)logic, one could not jump off the top of a mountain without using a machine - an inclined plane.
The reason you or I would come to a different conclusion than SCOTUS is that we would read the Constitution as it was written and have a reasonable understanding of both the letter of the law, and its intent. SCOTUS accepts the idea (unsupported by the Constitution, or any law) that precedent has legal weight, which allows them to come to amazingly bad decisions.
FTA: "The suits insists that Google and Microsoft benefit financially because they generate ad revenue from search results. And both companies have received DMCA takedown notices requesting removal of the links in question."
Google would generate several times the revenue by placing the allegedly illegal download links lower so that one would perform multiple searches rather than finding them with the first click. If there is a financial incentive for Google to manipulate results, it would be to lower the rankings of those links.
How is inwyoming a typo? as in freecreditreoportinwyoming.com?
I think I will register freecreditreportinchicago.com, and I encourage everyone to register a similar domain with the name of their favorite city,county, town, or region. My website will have a link to annualcreditreport.com stating that the consumer may obtain one report each year free of charge or obligation and won't receive spam by using the link and a simple statement that freecreditreport.com will charge the consumer unless he/she opts out or avoids them altogether, after which there will be a link to freecreditreportinwyoming.com
If they know it was a single user, then they would have to know who that user is. If they don't know who the user was it then could have been more than one. As much as I hate those RIAA bastards, the statements made by others in this event are simply not credible.
The outlet can handle 15 A, but you cannot draw more than 12.5 A through it. Therefore any claims on hairdryers and vacuum cleaners in excess of 1500 Watts are bogus, and that only occurs at the maximum of 120 V (115 V is the nominal value and has been for years)
Our brains are wired this way because as predators, it was more successful to continue chasing the same animal from the herd than to continually change targets who were not already tired from the chase. It predates anything we would likely call logic since this behavior is found in lower life forms.
When Disney has spent all its money buying congressmen in a futile attempt to forestall the inevitable failure of their business model, they will find that the backing of the US Government will suddenly evaporate.
When I moved to Cali years ago, I had to pay a penalty for my 49 states emission car that always beat CA's standards handily. I live in IL and I can't buy a NE/CA emissions vehicle even though I am willing to pay for it. Which makes less sense?
Illinois is run by the chicago mob, everything you said about CA applies here in spades!
I hope your post is a troll and I am your first victim, I would hate to think you could be so misinformed.
Iodine 131 (the radioactive version) is not more chemically toxic than iodine. Radioactive iodine causes thyroid cancer because of the ionizing radiation causes chemical changes and destroys/alters DNA in the surrounding cells. Plutonium is about as chemically toxic as caffiene: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plutonium.
Nuclear contamination is not easy to deal with. If it were, do you really think a facility as sophisticated as Yucca mountain would be necessary?
I hope your last question is rhetorical. There is no viable way to compare the relative damage from two alternatives such as this. If all of the batteries are properly recycled, the nuclear solution is probably better. but what happens then the owner of the nuclear battery falls overboard and he and his hearing aid are eaten by fishes?
No! Palm is complicit in Apple's "monopoly". By failing to offer an alternative, and indeed using the same software they are facilitating Apple's continued dominance. I can find no reason to shed a tear for Palm.
Obligatory car analogy: Palm is trying to draft behind Apple and complaining about Apple tapping the brakes.

It isn't deep, it is (a) square - the only orthagonal symmetric plane figure.
Seamlessness in the user interface means one will be unable to determine which menu to select, or which application one is in. Ease of use is so 90's.
As an enthusiatic user of Windows 5 and 6.1 I wish they would leave the interface more or less alone.
Currently? Currently? Really? God, how I hate puns!

At the current rate of change twenty years, assuming that the machines don't get any smarter.
I bet that when people actually use the iPad, it becomes quite obvious that it's a lot more than just "oversized iPod touch".
A neutered MacBook, perhaps?

Yes. No. Too early to tell.
600,000 arrests for possession does not equal 600,000 people arrested.
Nothing should ever be anything like that movie!
Apes, not monkeys.
First they privatize many Government prerogatives, and now the (current) administration wants to offshore them!
Congress can't restrict the Executive in this manner, at best it is posturing.
It would be so nice if our elected officials understood the Constitution, and would try to govern rather than rule.

masks what would otherwise be a significant increase.
The cellphone users who died as a result of car accidents almost eliminated the entire population who would have been diagnosed as brain dead.
OH Wait! you said brain cancer - never mind.
