Nah, twas about an inch deep, in the middle of a side. One of those big copper industrial staples. I've a feeling the job "attach these floppies to this document" was passed on to a YTS kid(Youth Training Scheme (Young, Thick, Stupid)).
I'm not flaming Apple for the sake of it, I have four macs myself. It's just that what Apple have done with the whole aac thing has really angered me.
It would be very, very nice of them if they open-sourced it, unfortunately, it's just not going to happen.
1) www.bugmenot.com
It has a firefox plug in, you right click the username field, click bugmenot, and it logs you in, no registration required.
2) I'm guilty, so what? I like to go to a coffee place (a cheap, friendly one nearby) and work for 3-4 hours. It's a productive environment. I reckon I drink a coffee every 30 minutes while I'm working, so I probably have about 6 in 4 hours. Call it £3/coffee, that's £18. Call it 6p/kWh, my laptop drinks 65W, so that's about 2p worth of energy. It's a bit of a fuss about nothing.

Yes, the customer. They might say "if everybody came in and did it..." well, for 12 hours, there are 10 people drawing 100W, that's 12kWh, that's about 70p for the day. Boohoo.
BTW, guys who can't find power outlets, use my Confucius say style motto...
Think like the cleaner.
It's not quite a sub $500 mac. It's headless for a start, so users are going to need to spend $100 for a half decent CRT, probably more. I don't know what the target market is, as Apple has always sold headless macs to the professional arena (PowerMacs are headless as a rule) but lower priced macs have been aimed at the home user.
I hope for Apple's sake that they work out they need to bundle in a cheap Apple branded 17" CRT for $100 or so (Dell style).
Say the average man lives 75 years.
75 * 365.24 * 2000 = 54786000
1TB/54786000 = 19.6KB/photo. That's a bit crap really... 200 photos a day is more like it
Is it just me who finds the article to be a tad strange? Perhaps it's the mulled wine but all it does is mumble about how we have technology that stores data, and we can buy things that store lots of data.
What would be interesting is an analysis of what computer businesses are actually aiming at. I mean, we can see Apple are going for the digital lifestyle (iPod photo, iTunes, AirTunes etc.) but where are we actually going in terms of technology coming to the average user? I for one think that the bottleneck has to be our internet connections. Roll on household OC 48.

After all, the servers were down for a good period of time during the speech. I know I couldn't get on www.apple.com
A software removal tool that's malicious? From Microsoft?
And rather conveniently, this was /.ed earlier today :).

All Mozilla users should upgrade to the latest version:
Says the site, implying at least a partial fix is available.
Where can I buy me one of these magic espresso machines?

The guy who installed my dad's IT system. We found 2 floppies stapled to a sheet of instructions on how to back up from them...

The clear solution for apple is to stop being so damn secretive over what they do. Stop locking up DRM etc, please, it kind of defeats the point.

I *need* to know Candy misses me!
Actually write code. Get off of your donut encrusted seat and write code! Experience! Stop complaining... Arrgghhh.
Surely if there is the justification for a criminal case, the RIAA can have the federal system give them the information?
Now little Timmy can store days of HD porn under the mattress! Oh the march of technology...

I'll be frank, I really can't see it generating that much of an income. There are only 6-7 Billion people in the world...
You could probably get a much cheaper, nicer CRT. The market it is aimed at would probably not care about footprint anyway after all.
