Yet, Yahoo's LaunchCast still insists on using ActiveX to open up popups for the "music player" windows, even though it is entirely unneccesary to do so.
And you're forgetting that IE 7 doesn't have extensions. I use Adblock, FoxyTunes, ForecastFox, Farkit, Stockticker and Slogger.
I think Apple is just feeding the fears that, as a result of the success of the iPod, the company is changing from what it used to be.
In other words, Apple is finally starting to break out of being a niche company and is moving to the mainstream.
That's not necessarily a bad thing, is it?
Just hope the alien at the receiving sitting at his alien telegraph machine mistakes it for trillions upon trillions of 0s in Morse code. He'll probably think we don't understand 0 is not a prime and ignore our message.
I believe Apple gets credit for the GUI because they were the first to do so on a "personal computer". The machines Xerox were making at the time were not intended for home use, and the original IBM PCs had a command line interface.
Also consider how many advances Apple has made to the GUI that have been co-opted and trickled down to every other OS.
Play Harmony files on your iPod all you want. But firmware updates for it are bound by the Apple TOS. There is a Disagree/Cancel option, and since this capitalism Real should have an iPod alternative.
Isn't that the real problem in the first place? Movies on BitTorrent while they're still in the theatre?
Ideally this would change the whole DVD distribution (waiting a whole year for Return Of The King to come out), but is it realistic?

Try to imagine yourself in a customer support call center for Dell or HP or Gateway... and 2500 old ladies called you all at once to tell you that their new Linux internet machine thingy isn't connecting to the interweb thingy anymore. Oh, and they want their icons back.
When you're done freaking out and the twitching has subsided, feel free to reply to this post.
" The atomic clock timescale of the Observatory is based on an ensemble of approximately 50 cesium-beam frequency standards and a dozen hydrogen masers. Frequency data from this ensemble are used to steer the frequency of another such maser, designated Master Clock 2 (MC #2), until its time equals the average of the ensemble, thereby providing the physical realization of this "paper timescale."
Specifically, the frequency of a device called an Auxiliary Output Generator is periodically adjusted so as to keep the time of this maser synchronized as closely as possible with that of the computed mean timescale USNO timescale UTC (USNO), which in turn adjusted to be close to the predicted UTC (BIPM). The unsteered internal reference timescale is designated as A.1, while the reference of the actual Master Clock is called UTC (USNO).
UTC (USNO) is usually kept within 10 nanoseconds of UTC (BIPM). An estimate of the slowly changing difference UTC (BIPM) - UTC (USNO,MC #2) is computed daily."

Call me a newbie, call me what you will, but I attempted to get the driver for my ATI Radeon 9500 Pro to work on my nForce-based AMD system on Fedora for months to no avail.
I then purchased an NVIDIA 6800 GT and got it to work 5 minutes after I downloaded the driver.
At that point, I could care less about it being a "binary only module" and it "tainting the kernel". To heck with philosophies, I just want it to work.
As a side bonus my 6800 GT works wonderfully in Half-Life 2.
ATI makes great cards, but because of my noobish inability to get 3D in Linux to work on my Radeon, I find myself a happy and content NVIDIA customer.
This sort of news doesn't suprise me about ATI.
...we're in serious trouble.
I'm glad I'm buying a box at the store and getting a CD. This whole Steam thing scared me away when Counter-Strike first went to it.
iTunes I can live with, but not Steam.
I live in Overland Park, Yuppie Central in Kansas City. There are hay fields less than 300 yards from my townhouse complex, which is less than 2 miles from the headquarters for Sprint.
You mean there isn't a "Microsoft PC"?

There's this "Designed For Windows 95, NT" sticker on my old Toshiba laptop.
And every keyboard I've purchased at Best Buy in the last 6 or 7 years has that Windows key on it.

Those Firewire cables in the drawer aren't much of use in this situation, as the other end of the cable is the iPod dock connector plug.

Same reason you can't see them in the city, it's really bright around. You have to wear your Ray-Bans on the moon. There are no clouds.
Set it up for mirroring and carry your website with you just in case you come across a computer without Internet access. Thanks Apple!
You're not. I'm looking at the cheapest Dual G5 PowerMac myself. I can't wait to switch.
My goodness, what the heck is wrong with $0.99 a song? I thought the complaint was that $18-20 for an album was too high?
What is so unreasonable about paying a fair price for music? Is free the only fair price?
Hypocrisy.

Some math textbooks have the table of squares on the inside of the covers. I think my middle school textbook was the same one Ramses used.
Anything else sounds shady to me.

Wake me up when we have Gamma-Ray discs.
Hope it doesnt burn up and die on me.
