Blackboard's software is slow and bloated (due to their reliance on Java). I was really annoyed when my school switched from WebCT to Blackboard and hopefully this will give them motivation to switch to something else.
Do people still play pen and paper RPG's? I thought now that we have had wide availability of home computers for oh... about 15 years now, that they could have moved on. I would love to see a Battlestar Galactica computer game, but I have no interest in this pen and paper nonsense.
From the article it sounds like the guy just plugged the drive in the usb port, installed some drivers, and installed the program needed to play the movie. How is this a hack, it sounds just like installing any other hardware device?
I am curious to see if the RIAA ever considered that the reason music piracy levels are not increasing is because everyone already has all the songs they want. It's not like the RIAA is flooding the market with an excess of quality releases.
When did they claim that?
How about the years and years that apple computers have shipped standard with a one button mouse while claiming to be the best fastest computers available.
What's been done? A Company introduced a product which is new to their line? That happens every day no? I don't understand what you are getting at.
What i was trying to get at was that a multi button mouse with scroll features in not the most original peice of hardware on the planet. They even ripped the name for it from an old cartoon series.
So has trolling. Hint: some of Apple's best design work is subtle, possibly exceeding the awareness-threshold of trolls
Wow, another apple fanboy who defends apple products to the death and calls anyone who points out the obvious flaws in apples marketing stategy "trolls". Get over yourself, its a computer, not a way of life.
For a company that seems to pride itself on originality they seem to be turning their backs on everything they once stood for. First, they claimed that the PowerPC architecture was superior to x86, and now they have changed their mind and switched to x86. Now they have gone from always claiming the simplicity of a one button mouse was better to introducing their NEW AND IMPROVED multi botton mouse. I hate to tell you guys, but its been done.

The google approach is a lot better for those of us without any friends on facebook.
