...the headline is incorrect. What actually happened is Adobe downloaded a demo of the Macromedia company. Then they found and ran a crack so that the trial never expires. The $3.4 billion number is how much Macromedia was trying to sell their company for to make up for pirated copies being distributed via p2p.

With her brain stem still intact, the computer would act randomly to reflexes, and sometime during the 15 years, would probably open Word or at least notepad.
Then, we just wait to see the string "iwanttolive" or "iwanttodie" or something meaningful to appear. ("hi" at the very least would be likely to appear during the first 1352=26*26*2 letters entered randomly (ignoring other characters).
The source for Google Suggest does not work locally, so I believe it can only be run from google's server. It is basically google.com with the following tacked on to the url: webhp?complete=1&hl=en
Look at this detailed analysis of how IE, Opera and Mizilla render CSS. Note that Opera and IE were both wrong at first, but Opera has adopted Mozilla's convention.
This clearly demonstrates that the "browser war" is really a one(IE)-on-one(Firefox) battle with Opera and others simply choosing which side to mimic.
What the article fails to mention is that the second (right) mouse button is simply a fail-over in case the first (left) button gets stuck. This should "nearly double the average lifespan of the apple mouse," according to inside sources.
Yeah, well most computers in need of such emergency boot technology have a BIOS that doesn't support USB booting. You might look cool while plugging the iPod in to the PC, but when no one is looking, you'd better slip in a KNOPPIX cd prior to booting up!
I don't thinks so. Google seems to have no desire to implement this feature in a firefox plugin, In fact, note that google recommends and links to the open-source Googlebar extension for firefox on the google toolbar download page. http://toolbar.google.com/googlebar.html
Google knows that if people are ready to click on well-placed ads when browsing using IE, then it is their duty as a company to place well these ads. I don't hear google complaining about the adblock extension for firefox that can be used to block all ads, even those tasteful text ads by gooooogle.
No, google is not evil, nor will they become evil. They are making money by gaining the trust of millions of users, and investing that money - and more importantly that trust - to continue to make products that people want.
I'd be more interested in seeing something that would let you shoot a specific bit of information wirelessly at specific people near you.
We should be able to do this in our cars by now. It's gotta be more efficient than speaking in ones (finger raised) and zeros (fist raised)!
No really, I would only use it only to helpfully point out to other drivers that they left their blinkers on or ask them to kindly allow me to change lanes.
Remember when TV was free? Now we pay the cable companies to serve us hours of popups on the television or Internet. Either way, we're paying for the right to watch these shows. It is hardly "piracy" to download a show that we missed last week while working overtime to get some of the money that we send to our CableProvider/ISP each month.
In the mean time, would someone please repost the last episode of 24 WITH commercials so I don't feel so bad about "stealing" this garbage that I already paid for... twice!
He probably knew the machine was a potential witness to his crime. Perhaps he wouldn't have had to take the computer had it been sleeping quietly in the corner rather than snaping pics and spinning its hard disks.
THIS JUST IN: The computer was heard pleading to the thief as he left the scene, "I swear I won't tell, just leave me here so I can finish downloading latest.hollywood.dvdscreener for my law abiding owner."

Um, wouldn't it be easier to fit pilots with electric-shock dog-collars and setup a few thousand miles of invisible fence?

Can I think "control-c" instead of "copy?"
...completing my sentences! ...me crazy!
How about auto-completing my thoughts?
Me: Computer, stop comp...
Computer:
Me: You're driving...
Computer:
Me: control-alt-delete!
Computer: atl-F4
Me: control-alt-delete!
Computer: atl-F4
Me: Why you little...
Computer: Yes, Dave?
Um, if you read the Mozilla Prefetch FAQ, you'll learn that this only happens when you are not using bandwidth for something else. Don't worry.

If we could only build these tubes long enough to port light from the other side of the world at night...
...Wait, even better, we put up several small satellites to bounce the sunlight received in say, Japan to say, NYC...
...No wait. Let's build one giant satellite to reflect the light directly from the sun to NYC at night...
...Oh, wait.

google's still not evil
The inquirer reports that SEO Blog and others think they are evil because of their new AutoLink toolbar feature: http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=21470
