In the U.S. they've been doing that for years. The producers have to blur them for two reasons.
1. The companies buying commercial time (at a later date) may not like having a competitor getting free air time during the show.
2. The companies that didn't pay for the product placement can actually sue the show if they don't like how their product is being used/displayed during the show and/or what show their product is being shown on.
I know alot of people when I show them my PDA they simply say "oh, my life isn't busy enough to need one of those". Many people just don't have enough stuff to really warrant a full calendar, to do list, always on email and IMimg and everything else.
On the other hand just about everyone wants to listen to music somewhere where their CD collection isn't.

Or once you get directed to the second one just throw a bunch of 000's on and hit enter.
That'll slow it down a bit.:-)
If I bought a car (a Ford for this example) from a dealership, gave it a paint job and tried to resell it, would it still be a Ford or an "IGottaPoop-Mobile".
Actually even more to the point, when you go to the car dealership are you buying one of "their" cars (i.e. "Jim's-Auto-Center-mobile"), or are you buying a car with the same name as the company that created it?
With only one type of identification one can be assured that all guards and even employees are thoroughly familiar with it.
Familiarity breeds contempt.
What?? I have no idea what you are trying to say. I thought maybe I didn't know the meaning of contempt, so I went to dictionary.com and looked it up.
contempt n.
1. The feeling or attitude of regarding someone or something as inferior, base, or worthless; scorn.
2. The state of being despised or dishonored; disgrace.
3. Open disrespect or willful disobedience of the authority of a court of law or legislative body.
So...Are you saying that if the federal employees become familiar with their new ID cards they will like find them inferior? Just because they've gotten to know them?
Or maybe the government employee's will feel disgrace towards their new ID cards. Surely they wouldn't want to show these disgraceful ID cards *everytime* they walk into a building!
Oh, that's it...it's the last definition. The gov't employees will become disobedient to the authority of a court of law because of their new ID cards...
Wow, too bad their "system builder" page doesn't render properly (at all) under firefox.
I had to use IE just to see the available options.
They look nice, but they are gamer systems. No company is going to buy their boxes there. Most companies don't care what color their computer is, they just want a good price and good support.
Just as importantly, are you going to legalise it so that the money paid for pot gets taxed, and is subject to free market pressures instead of (often violent) black market pressures?
What year are you living in, 1932? How much moonshining and sales are really going on? I'd have a better luck finding a black market stem cell seller than I would finding moonshine. (And no, I haven't looked...yet)
Heh, that's funny because I started my own computer repair company a couple months ago, make $50 an hour, and nearly busy enough to start taking on employees. I've actually been thinking of raising my rates just so I can get a little time off.:)
Yeah it's more work than being an employee at someone else's company, but it's more rewarding too (and not just monetarily).
Oh and I went to a crappy college and dropped out in the first year.
Sure it's not a boom anymore, but there are more computers out there in the hands of more people that don't know how to use them.
Hey, thanks for the website with viruses, popups, AND spyware...the trifecta of scum.
If you're going to give a porn link, at least give a GOOD porn link.

How about from Sony's site, playstation.com? http://www.playstation.com/ps3-openplatform/index.html

I've found that it's mainly Flash that makes Firefox eat up the cpu. Try running flashblock and see if it clears up your issue.
You're probably joking, but you do know that you can set a minimum font size in firefox, right?
Sounds like Bill Hicks to me.
Or one that was poor growing up.
They'd learn the code at a friends house when the friend punched it in for both of them.
You should come to NYC. The grocery business is alive and well with freshdirect.com.
Damn good stuff too, some of the best cuts of meat I can find without traveling all over town.

Your logic is flawed.

We get it, it's just that some company already beat you to the punchline by about 7 years...
Better luck next time though

I get it now.
Hey, at least attribute your quote.
It's Bill Hicks. One of the greatest comedic minds of all time. Google him sometime ya bastards...

AOL blocks hotmail like there's no tommorrow. I just went through this with something I was buying via ebay.

The RIAA doesn't have to do anything special to screw with p2p. The music being made now *is* 30 second long clips repeated over and over.
The problem for the music industry is now people can hear this before they shell out $$ for a CD.
I think we /.ed microsoft!!
