  2. Re:who cares if apple sells more copies of osx? on Bunk Camp - Apple Gets It Wrong? · · Score: 1

    You're right. And also, the version of BootCamp currently available for download is free, so Apple isn't getting anything out of this. All Intel Macs come with preinstalled. If anything, this will sell more copies of Windows XP, since a full version is required to install on your Intel Mac.

    Marked increase in SMUG. Damn you, George Clooney!

    I know some people in the Waste Management industry who agree with your legal perspective.

  5. Lies, Damn Lies, and Your Quote on Movie Downloads to Coincide with DVD release · · Score: 1

    Forget that your source article is nine months old, TFA says Apple has 1.8% of the WORLD MARKET, not the US Market. These movies are to be sold in the US only, where the percentage is much higher.

    Apples and Oranges, my friend.

  10. Honkey? on Faulty Microsoft Driver Saps Intel Core Duo power · · Score: 1

    I don't know ANY white people who are offended by the term "honkey".

    Oh no, it's already affecting the spell check! I guess it *truly* is a software problem...

    With all those lego bricks, they surely could've just built one. ;)

  15. Re:Powered by a crank? on UN Internet Summit High Points · · Score: 1

    There is no mouse, there is a trackpad. I suppose you can move the cursor about with your elbow while your hands are occupied with your cranks.

  16. Re:Might not be "Double" on Telecommuters May Owe Extra State Taxes · · Score: 1

    Yes, I believe Giuliani killed the commuter tax. IIRC, only residents of the five boroughs pay city income taxes.

  17. Re:Might not be "Double" on Telecommuters May Owe Extra State Taxes · · Score: 1

    I highly doubt you make less than I do. I'd imagine there's some threshold where you wind up paying some NJ taxes. I'm waaaaaaaaaay below it. :)

  18. Might not be "Double" on Telecommuters May Owe Extra State Taxes · · Score: 1

    I live in Jersey and work in New York, but I get credit in New Jersey for the (higher) income taxes I pay in New York, so I wind up paying only NY taxes.

    Wouldn't it be easier for the programmers they hire to incorporate themselves?

  20. Does not affect right to copyright on NYC & SF iPod Subway Map Controversy · · Score: 1

    Receiving federal funding does not make the MTA a branch of the federal government. Therefore, the MTA is not restricted from filing copyrights for their publications.

    The MTA is not a branch of the US Government...

  22. RTFA on NYC & SF iPod Subway Map Controversy · · Score: 2, Insightful

    He formatted the maps to be read on an iPod.
    The maps are not formatted for any other mp3 player.
    Apple makes the iPod.
    Therefore, this is an Apple story.

    If the airwaves are so full of "crap", then why are so many of us downloading those crappy TV shows from the internet?

  24. Re:Correct me if I'm wrong... on Chief Justice Rehnquist Dies at 80 · · Score: 1

    Well, technically he was praying for "vacancies"... but unless you're hoping God will intervene by making them very bored with being on the SCOTUS and divinely making them want to retire, yeah, he was praying for deaths. Real Christian-like... As for the @_@, eh, I can't see a connection. It's like saying Pat Robertson had anything to do with it if he was praying for William Hung not to be given a Source Award. It was likely going to end up that way, anyway.

  25. When Billboards Know Your Name on Bluetooth Ads Beamed from Billboards · · Score: 1

    Quite a few years ago, I was riding in the car with my buddy Mike and his wife. We were going out to the movies and we weren't quite sure where the cinema was. Off in the distance, we saw a giant electronic sign flashing my buddy's name "Michael". Sure enough, it was the movie theatre. We thought it was very odd, until we realized the sign was just referring to the John Travolta angel movie, which was playing at the theatre.
