he bought the laptop for $300 from a woman who fits the description of the suspect in the original theft
I don't think she would have bothered selling the computer if she was interested in the data. I'm sure the data is worth much more than $300 to the right person.
Obviously it's a good thing that wireless is getting faster. However, most people use wireless for connecting to the Internet. Even 802.11b is much quicker than most Internet connections. It will be a while before this technology is useful to a lot of people.
Time Warner also held negotiations with Sunnyvale, California-based Yahoo and Google, based in Mountain View, California, the Post said. Mike Love, a Microsoft spokesman based in Reading, England, declined to comment, as did Time Warner spokeswoman Mia Carbonell in New York.
Looks like Yahoo and Google weren't interested. No big surprise.
So that would be the philosophical difference between Microsoft and what Google is up to at this point?
Gates: Well, we don't know everything they are up to, but we do know their slogan and we disagree with that.
As other posters have clarified, Gates was probably not talking about the "Don't be evil" slogon. However, that was not immediately obvious from TFA.
I'm just waiting for Apple to release iTV. People could just download TV shows and watch them whenever they want. TiVo has shown that there would be a demand for such a service.
So, maybe I'm guilty of trying to save a buck. Enom charges me $8.75 a domain name which is much cheaper than Verisign. I was not aware of their involvement in any frauds or scams but I will certainly check into it. Could you recommend an honest domain reseller?
I buy my domain names through Enom. Yes, of course, Verisign has a hand in all.com tlds so I don't have much of a choice do I? But where I do have a choice I avoid Verisign.
I, for one, will not buy any products/services from Verisign. They have been involved in too many shady dealings like the wildcard DNS fiasco. I hope that IT people in the UK do the same with CentralNic.
Of course companies like Johnson and Johnson are sponsoring video game tournaments. Video game players are in the perfect demographic for most marketing efforts.
While I agree it's important to have valid HTML it appears the one error on their page is quite small. They used the "name" attribute which they should have left out since they already have an the "id" attribute on one of their forms. I think we can forgive them this one mistake.
Mac OS X 10.4.3 build 8F23 includes about 75 new bug fixes to the OS, fast bringing the total number of specific improvements the update will deliver to nearly 500.
It's too bad that Apple is integrating so much DRM into their OS. One of the things that I've always like about Macs is that they work for you - not for someone else. However, DRM seems to be a major shift in this philosophy.

so what is the extra ~ $600 for?
Advertising and marketing.

Gates disagrees with Google using that slogan or that it's possible for any company to not be evil?This should appeal to those people who like to play NeoPets.

I like the fact that you can get search results in an ATOM or RSS feed.

Is Sun trying to do what politicians do and focus on negative advertising campaigns?

Looks like 75 bugs and 500 improvements.Why bother selling old computers? They depreciate so quickly you're better off just throwing them away.
Berkeley was a lot better than junior high school, but it still involved homework, which deep down in my heart I could never believe in.
I hear you. I always avoided homework as much as possible too.
