Only for four more years though, they patented this is 2000. The patent would be reaching its 10 year span in about 2010, about time for the 4th gen consoles (assuming a 5 year product cycle). This could rear it's ugly head in xbox1080 (or whatever the hell they call xbox 3)
From TFA Houston's police chief on Wednesday proposed placing surveillance cameras in apartment complexes, downtown streets, shopping malls and even private homes to fight crime during a shortage of police officers.

Will the "Macintel" systems be able to run Windows?
Officially, no. However, on June 6, 2005, Apple Senior Vice President Phil Schiller stated that Apple will not "preclude someone from running [Windows] on a Mac. They probably will." Apple Director of Software Product Marketing, Brian Croll affirmed that "Apple doesn't plan to sell or support Windows, but we're not planning anything on the hardware side that would preclude it from running."

Also Linux has run on macs for ages.
On "MyDocuments" Right click -> properties, choose target/location/something similar (I only use the thing at work, I'm not there now so can't remember exactly) and choose a network/firewire/internal drive. My network drive is now "mounted" at c:\documents and settings\username\MyDocuments\ seemlessly, just like on linux.
From TFA The same would go for online merchants -- once you'd registered yourself and your computer with an Amazon or an e-Bay, they'd simply look for the TPM on your machine to confirm it's you at the other end.
So I'm at a mates house/parents/internet cafe/uni library and I want to log into amazon/my bank. Damn fooled, I guess I wont be making that impulse DVD purchase then.
And I wonder how many hoops I'll have to jump through to get these sites to recognise my new computer (or second computer) is me.
On another note, aren't MAC addresses supposed to be unique and tied to the hardware? How many cloning techniques are there for that?
The beauty of clustering in VMS is you can upgrade (hardware and software) without losing uptime.
2+ nodes, take one offline, replace/upgrade, add back in, repeat.
In the office I work in (in the UK where this survery was done) I've heard heard many people voice dissatisfaction with their job and a desire to do something more meaningful. Like paramedics, police etc. I get the impression that this is a growing trend.
That's nice. Why don't people just buy new monitors for $200-$300 that have
the capability of displaying the content?
Why the hell should I buy a new monitor? My current one works perfectly. I have the hardware now but someone else is going to effectively break it for me. There is no plus side. there is only a down side, that's why we're discussing it.
The beebs technology page is poor at best, 90% of the stories on it are old before they get there, and the rest of the stories are about the "new sensation that is podcasting" or switching between telling us that blogging is either a) a social disease or b) the next great big thing.
I think they just take week old copies of the register newsletter and rehash the less technical stories.
People who want 5 9's uptime, scalability, clustering, ultimate disaster recovery, NO viruses, NO security worries from hackers (other than social engineering hackers that everyone has to worry about, OpenVMS was declared unhackable at Defcon). People who have to have their systems always available no matter what. Who in their right mind would keep mission critical data on a windows system? Who? Only a yoghurt.
and with DRM restrictions only two other drivers can use the car, with 5 unique people as passengers. You will only be allowed to travel on Microsoft Highways(TM) as the car will not be compatible with normal roads.

how could we ever figure out how to disarm a thermonuclear weapon if nobody has ever built one?
If no one has built it, there is no need to disarm it.
In Soviet Russia, bomb disarms you.
Milgram wasn't challenged in ethical grounds. Ethical guidelines weren't properly in place when Milgram conducted his infamous study. Milgram is the reasn we have ethical guidelines!
"mildly coerced"? That's a rose tinted evaluation of that study if ever I heard one.
Usually when doing studies, you still ask people to be involved in the study, but don't tell them what the study is looking for.
No, you don't. The hey word there is usually. However you do tell them afterwards.
(at least usually, in observational studies, where no personally identifying information is collected whatsoever, there is no ethical guideline requiring consent. Example, monitoring the routes of people walking round a supermarket)
Not asking people is a breach of ethical guidelines.
Again, wrong, read the ethical guidelines. In studies where deception is necessary, guidelines say that the study should be approved by an appropiate panel, that the study should be non harmful, and that "participants" should be informed after the fact, and that they should have the choice that any data collected from them can be destroyed. The guidelines also say that the project should contain justifiable research aims and be of a nature that justifies or necessitates deception.
It doesn't matter if the subjects suffered real or percieved harm,
That part at least is right. The subjects must not be put at undue risk of being harmed.
the potential for harm was definately there, and they should have asked people first.
I disagree with this. Advancement of knowledge requires study to be done. Often the subjects must be "not previously interfered with". This sort of study is frequent and often necessary.
That must be why Berkeley is such a leading educational facility...
Studies like this necessitate people not signing up for it. If they know beforehand, it becomes utterly redundant. There are always opt out clauses, and the studies need to be pre approved by a panel. Any credible institution that does research involving people will have procedures for nonconsensual studies.
If a $20 bill falls out of some guy's pocket and you pick it up, legally you could keep it, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't give it back.
In the U.K. it is a crime to find and keep money off the street, known as "theft by finding", legally the proper course of action is to hand it into the nearest police station, and if not claimed with a certain time period, then you can keep it.
Of course, millions of people will end up getting these book-phones anyway if only for the sake of looking cool and impressing their friends (designer nike shoes,anyone?)
If this encourages people to read (books as opposed to glossy trashy magazines), even if it is motivated by being cool and impressing their friends, then I'm all for it.
Personally I doubt it will replace books. I've had an ebook reader on my nokia 7610 since I got the phone and find it a deeply fustrating experience. There's something satisfying about the weight, feel and smell of a book.
I also prefer to print things like stories to read them if they're long as opposed to reading off my monitor for extended periods of time.
Why would you expect the PC fee to be lower than the current licence fee? If it is a replacement fee the government would have no reason to lower it.
This does all rather contradict their current "tax free home computing initative" though.

I cannot purchase music from the iTunes music store and play it under Linux.
You will be able to soon when they release v0.2, and sync it with your iPod

Dwight Yorke [footballer] and Katie Price aka Jordan [page 3/glamour model] have a child born blind. OK, so they both look like they've been beaten with the ugly stick and Jordan has had a tonne of plastic surgery, but still an athlete and a model having a child with a birth defect.

Mine had a PIN long before chip and pin, because how else was I goint to get at cash from an ATM at 5% charge.
which linux distro would you put on it?
I installed it 2 days ago, it demanded internet or phone activation within 30 days or it would stop working.
I also doubt that Microsoft would port Office to OSX
umm...need I say more?
