If it weren't for the Apple I and II and classic Macs, there would be no Apple today. It was the classic era where nerds gave Apple enough success to get to where they are today.
If things were different they wouldn't be the same.
The same could be said for many, many other companies.
"While the outcome is not what we had hoped for, we will continue to advocate for changes to the law that will prevent abuse of the patent system and protect inventors who hold patents representing true innovation", Microsoft said in a statement.
Someone needs to let Paul Allen know about MS's change in attitude about patents.
It's a 10-year old operating system. It was all Windows users had for a long time, and Vista was a flop, but Windows 7 is really good and has a strong adoption rate.
Agreed, but will these small nudges to get users away from XP be enough to get them to change their OS? There are other options available to XP users that provide similar functionality to the applications and/or services that are starting to exclude XP.

Not ordained, but he did attend a Christian university. FTFA:
Harwell was formerly a student at Biola University, a small Christian university in southern California. Many of the victims were Biola students and Harwell may have compromised university systems as well, police said.
I don't see mobile GUI's in there. Surely Palm's early offerings qualify as a "before" and iOS & Android as an "after"... and Magic Cap as in "in between". Desktops aren't the only place we use GUI's.
In Googleverse, Chrome updates you! It really does - it automatically updates the browser to the latest version. I just make copies of each major version for testing (much easier on the Mac than Win; not sure how Chrome updates Linux installs).
I have Chromium 12.0.742.91 on my computer. Have they really made hundreds of beta releases?
Not betas, but builds.
I wonder how many versions of Chrome will ever have a minor version number greater than '0'? I don't recall seeing one recently (at least since Chrome 4).
"but of course it is limited to tethered boot only". Does the word "of course" in there mean it assumes I knew this already, or find it very evident that this is so?
It is conspiratorial. It projects a similar fate as Jullian Assange or Dominique Strauss-Kahn encountered, which some believe to be lies perpetrated by those in the government. This story doesn't make the government sound like they're above such things.
I am sure all the Anonymous members are shaking in their boots now. Scary U.N. is coming to to get them carrying black bags with their names on them.
NATO != U.N.
* NATO has guns and bombs, "Oops, we're sorry" immunity and sometimes enforces decisions the U.N. finally gets around to.
* U.N. has no guns or bombs, and usually no spine or balls either.
Bill Gates is not the answer for Microsoft, but changing leadership is. They have become sloth-like in their old age and have become a market follower rather than a market leader.
MS probably needs to remove one or two levels of management to allow things to speed up again. Ideas and progress are slowed by too many filters.
Let's not exclude the US government either. Nothing points the finger elsewhere like attacking one of your own major contractors. The NSA, CIA, etc aren't above stealing the RSA keys./tinfoilhat
All these security breaches reminds me of the game Uplink.
All these security breaches remind me that the world has changed in an irrevocable manner and that it's only a matter of time before anything and everything falls victim to these types of attacks. Nothing is really safe anymore.

The fine is already $16,000. From the link:
Each separate email in violation of the CAN-SPAM Act is subject to penalties of up to $16,000, so non-compliance can be costly.
It's just a matter of actually finding them, dragging them to your jurisdiction and squeezing blood from a stone.

This probe is running away to deep space because it's afraid it will have to work at FoxConn if it ever returns to Earth.
That's "Must See" as in "you are legally required to watch and learn, citizens."

An unordained repairman tried to fix a mac?

Are you sure you remembered to upgrade?

Not right away ... it'll take about a week before it runs Linux.
Article images seem to be broken.
Here they are:
"but of course it is limited to tethered boot only". Does the word "of course" in there mean it assumes I knew this already, or find it very evident that this is so?
But of course.
can't be: there are no viruses on Apple. Go ask your local Genius !
So I guess only iTunes users running Windows have to worry about that scenario?
TFA doesn't tell us much except that Sony got hacked and some guy got arrested. The summary sums up the whole thing.
It is conspiratorial. It projects a similar fate as Jullian Assange or Dominique Strauss-Kahn encountered, which some believe to be lies perpetrated by those in the government. This story doesn't make the government sound like they're above such things.
Whatever happened to our Constitutional protection from cruel and unjust punishments?
I think the BoR & 8th Amendment says cruel and unusual punishments.

Maybe they'll named it just like the apple's one: iOS = iran Operative System.
Does that mean 'gcc' will stand for "Government's Censorship Compiler"?
unfortunately this second attempt will be owned by the censors.
The censors would be both government and big business.

How about stating the battery life in actual hours of continuous use instead of estimated days based on estimated usage? Is that really so hard?
So you're excluding Boeing?
