I currently use Hotmail Popper (http://www.boolean.ca/hotpop/ - $17.50) with Mozilla Thunderbird...not only does it work like a charm, but it's also, well, not Outlook.
However, I do see that Hotmail might try to cockblock my Hotmail Popper access...hopefully alternative solutions will popup to allow me to circumvent this.
I don't see what all the brouhaha is about. Provided they make the antennae subtle, or even better, only install them in the more "touristy" areas (as opposed to the "primitive camping" areas), I can't imagine how this could take away from the camping experience.
If you don't take your laptop, it doesn't affect your "be one with nature" goal...also, at least WiFi usage is a quiet activity (assuming it isn't used to blast streaming music). I imagine I'd be more irritated with loud, obnoxious, drunk campers than quiet, laptop-using ones.
I thought this was going to be an article about how someone attached a wireless access point to a canary, and now it was flying around randomly (and very, very briefly) giving people free wireless connections.
Many of you might think I'm joking, in a very lame manner. Unfortunately, I'm being totally serious.
For individuals who want to accept credit card payments, PayPal keeps 3.9% of each incoming transaction. I'm sure Apple was able to negotiate somewhat better terms.
Even if Apple makes less on PayPal-paid songs than on "normal" credit card transactions, I bet they're not too concerned...I would assume that iTunes' slim-to-none profit margin is considered an iPod-related advertising expense anyway.
Great post...unfortunately it seems your sarcasm & observations on the the current administration's definition of "freedom" have been lost on a great number of posters.
The only problem with this plan is that, in the process of flooding the advertiser with data requests, you make the referer rich thanks to all the click-thru referal money you helped them earn.
From my (very, very shallow) understanding of the technology, it sounds like it could do pretty well (in theory, at least) in "prosthetic-eye/lens-type" uses...at least for people with lens-dengenerative issues.
...if only I could afford to. $1500 for an iBook is a tad steep when you can get a P.O.S. HP or Dell laptop for $700, tops.
Especially considering that, as my "personal-use" computer, all it's ever used for is iTunes, Firefox, Thunderbird & MS Word...nothing that warrants gigaflops of raw processing power.
Maybe if Apple brought out one or two low-low-end products that could compete, price-wise, with all the mass-market, Windows-running junk out there, they could really pick up some market share...the challenge would be figuring out how to do this without undermining their brand image.
What the hell was that? I interpreted "cell phone pictures" to mean a mosaic comprised of little images of Nokias & Sony Ericssons. Now that would've been cool.
"The government realized technology was going to restore the country's economic health so the entire country unified to push broadband penetration rates to the extreme."
Broadband penetration is good stuff...but me, I'm a fan of broadband girl-on-girl.
Imagine once these become readily available and one-handed typing becomes the norm (well, more so than normal)...by the time the average/. reader switches over from their favorite boobies page and hunt-n-pecks out a comment, it'll already be redundant a few dozen times over.

These lawsuits better not result in another crappy Superbowl iTunes commercial.
The "iTunes Exclusive" Green Day song (the "I Fought the Law" cover) from the last one made me want to gouge my ears out.

Sorry, I thought this was a /. poll.
Yep. In fact, here they are:
http://www.apple.com/ipodshuffle/
http://www.apple.com/macmini/
That's a bit pricey, even by commercial airline standards.
So after the handful of people that are both rich & interested have taken the trip, what's Sir Richard going to do with his space travel business?
I want to know how they managed that on a diet of candy & desserts.
I must be doing something wrong, because when I subsist on crap, my ass & gut get bigger.
I think there's best-selling diet book potential there.

Excellent comment! It makes me wish I had mod points.

And I really am kinda disappointed right now.
I suppose this is a valid question...in fact, it got me wondering.
In summary, yes, yes it is.
Here's what I found:

I get the feeling that Reynolds Wrap sales are going to skyrocket in Australia.
I wonder how those "Crocodile Dundee"-style hats would look when covered with tinfoil....

Maybe Griffin will release a new accessory, called the 'Mr iMicrophone': "Hey good looking... We'll be back to pick you up later!"
I checked their "News" section: still no "Deadbeat thug CEO jumps bail, flees country" headline. Looks like their webmasters are slacking.
I actually was expecting to see some sort of "new interim CEO" announcement, but couldn't find anything like that either.

Como una promesa eres tú, eres tú,
como una mañana de verano,
como una sonrisa eres tú, eres tú,
así, así eres tú.
Toda mi esperanza eres tú, eres tú,
como lluvia fresca en mis manos,
como fuerte brisa eres tú, eres tú,
así, así eres tú.
Eres tú como el agua de mi fuente,
eres tú el fuego de mi hogar,
eres tú como el agua de mi fuente,
eres tú el fuego de mi hogar.
Como un poema eres tú, eres tú,
como una guitarra en la noche,
como el horizonte eres tú, eres tú,
así, así eres tú.
Eres tú como el agua de mi fuente,
eres tú el fuego de mi hogar,
eres tú como el agua de mi fuente,
eres tú el fuego de mi hogar.

What would that be, a synchronized, virtual-glove-wearing circle jerk?
