a recent Apple patent request for something like this for law enforcement to have the ability to shut down cell phone functions in an area. I guess saying it is to protect children makes it look a bit less Orwellian than saying it is for law enforcement.
If you still don't remember your password send a password recovery request to the NSA. I understand they have great support for things we all loose track of.
for their own products maybe they would be more popular. At least this was somewhat creative, unlike their past Scroogled ads.
Funny thing is that while Microsoft points the finger of shame at Google they are trying to do the same thing: http://advertising.microsoft.com/international/display-ad-targeting
This Swiss have just about got this figured out. It is called Direct Democracy: http://www.swissinfo.ch/eng/specials/switzerland_for_the_record/world_records/The_Swiss_vote_more_than_any_other_country.html?cid=8483932
Several years ago I was visiting a friend in Sion Switzerland, when he excused himself for a few minutes saying that he had to vote on an important issue. He then turned on the TV where the representative for that district was speaking, picked up his home land-line phone, dialed several numbers and after just a couple of minutes he hung up.
He explained that big insurance companies wanted to pass a law mandating that all vehicles be outfitted with a monitoring device that would record the drivers driving habits. As we watched the vote total shown on the TV, the representative explained that although there were vastly more cars on the roads than in the 1950s the safety of drivers had increased greatly and that the mandate was not justified. The public vote overwhelmingly defeated the new law and the representative cast his vote in favor of his constitutes.
From what I witnessed that day, it seems like a Direct Democracy works very well in most cases.
"He said that Microsoft has "spies" in the forums on the Hotfix.net in an attempt to find out who is leaking software previews on his site. Microsoft also asked him to provide the names of who is leaking Microsoft files to his site, but he said he declined to do so."
Imagine that, MS spying on forums and trying to find leakers. They may want to put a call into the White House about the whole spy thing to get some help.
Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, who oversees the FBI, described the problems cited in the report as unacceptable and left open the possibility of criminal charges. He ordered further investigation.
"Once we get that information, we'll be in a better position to assess what kinds of steps should be taken," Gonzales told reporters following a speech to privacy officials.
Looks like Scooter will not be alone in line for a pardon from the Prez!
Phase one - Promote global warming with manure.
Phase two - Penguins die...
Phase three - Declare there is no Linux, pick up Free MS Vista Coupons for effort!
I thought the campaign was starting to slow down a bit. weak sales would explain that. With 5 years to forget why someone should rush out and buy the next OS, MS has re-trained many of their user base not to need the newest thing. It will take some time for them to re-train the user base to want the newest thing again.
Funny you say that, Linspire 5.0 is was out way ahead of Vista and many of the features in Vista look alot like my Linspire desktop. I think I still boot into Win XP every few months to update my AV software, then I shut it down again.
From the article;
In a similar example, I wasn't sure why Word 2007's "Office Menu" button was throbbing bright orange in a new blank document, but it really wanted my attention.
Do I really need throbbing buttons? Perhaps it is best not to turn on a Vista PC while suffering from a hangover.

I knew I should have sent a raven instead of that stool pigeon!

Wow them with a talk about how the Internet is made up of a bunch of tubes...
There is a simple solution to this if it is ever used against you:
"Yeah, don't forget your 27B(stroke)6"
e-paper covered cereal boxes add audio to bring "snap, crackle and crunch to life.

Oh SCO, how did you sink soo low....
When I was a child I use to hope the Circus would never end, but now I've grown tired of the clowns!
that with Vista the security is baked right in!
Windows security is baked-in, so you get that fresh baked security goodness...
The Security is really baked-in
SCO announces it is moving its headquarters to Dubai.

My notebook is dual boot Linux/XP (although I rarely see the XP login screen), how do I calculate the TCO for both?
I use Linux most of the time, so Linux uses the most resources (power, wi-fi, CDs, etc.), does that mean the TCO for Linux is higher?

I guess earth doesn't know the words to the song then.
Can you even use the words open and Microsoft together?

Yep, he has the right vision. I have seen many improvements at Linspire since he stepped in. This is really good news for linux and for Linspire.
