I suppose that is why some software companies use the S/W equiv of Poly-Razz-Ma-Tazz... overwhelm the user with a plethora of "features" so that metrics look better when ONE otherwise major bug would stand out in a small-feature program/app. But, then many customers (and devs/publishers) cannot see the forest for the trees.
But, don't wear the tight denims. Go for loose fitting. I heard (years ago) that the proximity of the engine heat and all-day sitting in tight pants overheats the family jewells (for male drivers, at least), reducing their (viable?) sperm count.
So, if you're still looking to reproduce, get a cool (engine) cab if you can, or maybe get a dish drying rack and sit on it. Wait, you're from IT, so get a dish rack to sit on and then use a laptop cooler and let it remove the heat between you and the seat.
Will they go after Lotus/IBM for having tabs in the old Lotus Notes (say, back to 1996/1997)? Or, will they go after Lotus' and others' organizers? Will the suit be limited to browsers? Or expanded to anything on a computer display that organizes or differentiates document access portals?
Sheesh. Seems they waited to long to demonstrate due diligence. IP litigation is way, WAY out of hand.
Anyone been keeping tabs on the laptops at say BestBuy, CompUSA and Fry's and noting that the same old laptops seem to be there, but now they have vister blister AND sporting a price increase? Or, are they keeping the price unchanged, but hoping to move inventory?
Well, destroy the gait-watching advantages by skating in those wheeled tennis. Or using a Segway (Segue?), or by wearing a huge girdle or oversized kilt. Loat the kilt to the hilt with absorbtive material to nullify the see-through stuff.
It would be funny if people wrote their convos on paper, inside a metallic black box with view ports outside and shredders inside. Just to tripwire the administration into seizing boxes to inspect them.
BTW, there was a Jet Li film/movie from around 1996 or 1994 I think. It was titled "Hit Man". Simon Yam was a detective/OTCB/whatever and his team used digital gait-analysis software. I took that as an implication that Hong Kong routinely or quitely mounts all-seeing cameras to analyze gaits of criminals and others because the database presumably used referenced criminal. Unless the criminals are gait-recorded in court, jail, and on the street, maybe such imagery is from poletops.
NOTE: The US release did not have those scenes. The HK/Chinese version DID have the multiple scenes of gait-analysis going on. I suppose they self-censored the scenes either to not piss off the US in 1996-ish, or to diminish the non-local awareness. (Yep, I bought and watched TWO version of the same DVD...)
The really frackin' stupid thing is the requirement to send the hard drive for the keyboard problem.
It is quite plausible that the owner of that drive (a drive not being the suspect in the trouble ticket) could have all KINDS of sensitive, proprietary, patent or other trade secret information and therefore has NO obligation to trust that any HP rep or employee would not try to recover content on the disk, use the content, or just view anything there.
Problem is these bastards ought to have a rev level/batch-based disk for troubleshooting machines when the disk MUST be retained by small owners who are not endowed with corporate support programs.
Thanks a LOT, HP. Nevermind your statistics. Thanks for insinuating that all users are stupid. If you haven't yet done so, you need to devise a warranty that separates the disk from the other hardware. And, you need to design for CONSUMERS (not just prosumers and corporate or high-end types) laptops that allow for side-based removal so users don't need to open the laptop prior to returning it for warranty.
I already know that my next laptop will be a naked one, or one from a Linux-friendly outlet, or one I can kick windoze into Win4Lin or a VM.

I think some of that previous code prior to windoze was ADA. Probably 5 other languages, too....
I remember in 1987 when my ship "dropped the load". Engineering had a failure in some generators or something. But, after ship's power was restored, the AN/YUK-## computer was rebooted and all the tracks (contacts, friendly or otherwise) had to be manually re-entered. It took something like 30 minutes. Mind you, the ship was an FFG-7 type and we had no AEGIS, and I think we only had Link 11 and 4A before I left it. Were it a real war shooting match instead of independent steaming/exercises, we'd be a sitting duck. It sucked because one might not expect a ship with TWO gas turbines and 3 diesel generators and several switchboards to not go "broke dick" in the ocean. We did. I can't help but wonder what Turkey and the others leasing or buying these Low-End mix ships are experiencing.
But, hopefully, they don't buy windoze. I can't bear the thought of seeing a DOD-related ad stating, "DOD"/"MOD" recommends using Vista for all your combat operational needs." Well, unless they WANT and EXPECT the "enemy" to license vista. Might be one of those times where the DOD allows export of "advanced" US technology.

Only when humans decide to get out of and deprive governments and wealthy of the "defense" industry will humans have money and worthiness of being allowed doe DESERVE an interstellar ark.
Elevating Chinese attempts to breach a DOD (or any government) database to the level of military attack is just ASKING for excuses to wage war. Since vastly many interconnected ties exist in economics, land, and employment schemes, traditional war would be immensely devastating not only to average workers but to the wealthy land owners, property owners and even the high tech companies.
I call madness. Oh, and don't forget the US DOD is probably running stealth "attacks" on Chinese, Russian, French, Canadian, Australian, UK, Venezuelan and innumerable other nations' databases and networks, friend and foe alike.
remember, there are at least to sides to every story. Stop making Chinese out to be the big bad guy. Any nation with something to fear will do what China is known to have been doing for years, and what many informed as well as ignorant "red-blodded 'merkuns" overlook when the US is exposed for doing the same things. In the end, it's specious, corrosive human conduct. If all these people focus on poverty, disease, hunger, underemployment, and other things (like lessening the causes of reactive terrorism), then maybe we can concentrate as a collective on pursuing interstellar travels.
The database and network attacks will be less of a problem if the networks are not accessible via internet junctions. More honeypots need to be set up, more honeynets need to be spun off, and less classified information should be available.
Hell, I suspect that these things HAVE been done, and that the reports many of you armchair politicos (you know who you are-- just informed enough to be barely credible) and the rest of us see are the "leaked" stuff which was generated from logs of Chinese (and other nations') penetration attempts and successes against honeynets and honeypots, and the reports are just mostly useful for facilitating creation of domestic antipathy toward or or mistrust of the Chinese, or whomever is the boogieman of the quarter.
