Its much less hassle to just bring your keys with you (4gb drive attached) than having to lug an iPod in your pocket all day....i'd still opt for the iPod though..
Hmm... I wonder if this could have anything to do with yahoo and hotmail starting to catchup with mail space...
One of the many things Google has always been good at was staying ahead.
I don't know about everyone else, but copyright violations seem like they should ONLY be civil. This criminal prosecution is just taken to far: congress was even attempting to pass a bill that would make copyright violation a criminal offense in the US! (I dont think it passed though..)
Won't putting these people in jail prevent the copyright holders of collecting damages? (Isn't that the point: that they are supposed to be reimbursed for lost money?)
If this happened in the US, the end result would be that everyone that is ever convicted of copyright violation is going to be punished twice: jailtime plus civil lawsuit...
The U.S. is granting too many patents for too broad of topics. It's coming to a point where even new things can't be created simply because a patent exists that, not only covers part of the new invention, but the entire GENRE of the invention.
They need to reform the patent law before it gets even more out of hand than it already is... Up next: a patent for "any process whereas pages of paper are bound together.."
That'll be great to get a really good Open Source BIOS - we'll have new features and capabilities not ever thought of before: who knows, maybe we'll see a Nintendo Emulator for our POST...
"The First Direct Clue"
While this may seem monumental, there will be many, many more clues and each will most likely lead the researches to a completely different conclusion.
It's pretty admirable that all these companies (Charter included) are actually taking the time and cost required to fight against the subpoenas. I'm sure this trend could have very easily gone the other way.

I read that as "I've yet to see, however, a LCD that makes me want to replace my breasts.
Thats because you're not looking at your LCD straight on...
The thing I like most about the new LCDs and Plasma screens is that it makes the CRTs less expensive...
I don't mind the bulkiness because I get bonuses: Cheaper price and (not just according to this article, but personal experience) a better picture...
but flat panels still look so cool...
