I don't see how Apple can hold people legally accountable for something that they should have predicted.
So let me get this straight...According to your line of thinking, If I park my car in a shitty neighborhood and it gets stolen, even though I knew there was a chance and put an alarm in my car, I shouldn't have any legal recourse and the thief is not legally liable??
I can take over 600 8 megapixel shots with the battery in my Canon Rebel 350D and even my older Olympus C2100 let me shoot more than 250 shots on a set of cheap NiMh AA cells, and either camera has more than a 3 week battery charge "shelf life".
On the Canon that's 1200 shots with the 2 batteries I have. That's what? almost 34 36-exposure rolls?
Power is NOT an issue unless you plan being stuck in the middle of a jungle completely away from a power plug somewhere.
Oh btw, I hope you didn't plan on using a flash, cause those take batteries, you know, and it's unfortunate you can't raise the ISO (ASA) on your film camera to match the conditions like you can on a digital camera.
Unless you shoot 4x5 or larger, film is dead. Soon that format will also be replaced.
Canon printers have a removable print head that is separate from their ink-only (No electronics) cartridges and Epson has non-removable print heads that are part of the printer and ink tanks with level and ink type sensing chips.
If any printer manufacturer wants to drop ink prices, all they have to do is simply charge less. Sounds obvious, but replacement ink has very very high margin for their manufacturers, and has even been referred to before as liquid gold.
Claiming that they have some new technology and then only charging a dollar or 2 less for ink sounds like a marketing ploy.
You get about as much info out of it as the average Film School project too.

Apple is rumored to release some gigantic news that could change the outcome of the Apple community
The Apple community is now an event...?
Download it to see how nice H.264 looks and a rare glimpse at one of the P4 powered PowerMacs. I like that song too, isn't that off of the Lemony Snicket movie?
What makes Apple's current pricing seem absurdely marked up to you?
Do you know the true cost for Apple to develop, manufacture, market, distribute and support any specific Mac model? Are you on the Apple board of directors to have such privileged information?
I seriously doubt it. I doubt that you even understand how a business works and that a company like Apple exists to make money and that to make money by selling a product you have to have a profit margin in your products.
Just because the Ma and Pa's down at the computer fair can build you PC for only 3% mark up it doesn't mean that a real computer company has to follow the same deeply flawed business plan.
I bought a 3.6 GHZ PC a month ago with a 17 inch screen, 1.25 GB of RAM an 80 GB HD and a dual layer DVD drive, all with built in Wi-Fi G. What's the big deal here?
All that computing horsepower and you still can't troll properly...
You forgot to add "And all this for only $399" to your comment.
The high pressure tank in that vehicle is charged to 300bar, or 4350psi.
That's higher than a SCUBA tank and it requires some heavy duty air compressor rigs to charge it.
I'd hate to be anywhere around that car in a crash or if it catches fire...
You must be in tight with the Mods.

Maybe you should post how it took you 7 hours to tranfer 14MB on a Mac.
I'm willing to bet that 90 + % of all future users of this Windows XP N thing will just go and download the Windows Media Player installer from the MS site anyway.
Oh yeah, this will be another movie to not see. What a great decision that was!
I guess dollars come before making a quality movie. Though I'd love to see what Peter Jackson could produce.
And Peter Jackson didn't change the original story in the LOTR?
Peter Jackson is no different than most other directors with their egos thinking that they could do the original story better and not leaving well enough alone, he made a visually stunning movie, but story wise it's just good enough to keep him in the graces of Tolkien fans.

You'd figure they would have done some basic research before settling on a organization's name...
You have to be a born Devil's Advocate to think that cybersquatting is a legitimate activity. The sole reason these %$#$ers register a popular product's name or every possible mispelled variation of those names is to catch the unwary and attempt to separate them from their money.
Why do you think that slahdot.org, slasdot.org & slshdot.org all have such a strangely familiar name and all lead to a bogus "search the web" sites? Coincidence, right?
Good on the UK court system for taking away the iTunes.co.uk domain away from that low life and I hope it sets a precedent that helps to rid the web of more squatters. We're not talking about someone registering "Romance.com" and making a profit from a legitimate foresight, we're talking about the act of a premeditated parasite.
6hrs with a G4 based Apple laptop is close, but a little optimistic if you want real world use out of it.
You *can* get 5hrs straight out of a 14" iBook with Airport off and the LCD turned down to the first notch without having to reduce the laptop's performance by clocking down or parking the hard drive.
Instant sleep mode helps you stretch battery life also.
Did you look at the thing??? "Kind of the same" is a Dell DJ compared to an iPod.
This is as blatant a rip off of an Apple product that I have ever seen, they even copied the advertising, and I would not be surprised if the packaging also looked the same.
Generic store brands don't copy the entire thing like this, and actually are often made by the same company that made the original product, they are different enough to the point where a consumer can not accidently mistake which one is the real thing. Can you say the same about this Super Shuffle?
I don't know what the hell they were thinking, especially by trying to pitch it in a trade show outside of Taiwan, maybe they hope to be able to sell enough of them to turn a profit before they have to stop.
You are right, I think it added up to 120GB every two weeks, not 120GB drives, which obviously didn't exist then.
The number 120 sticks out, I think that was their server capacity then.
Some interesting quotes from this article, I wish I knew how long ago this interview took place.
[BanDiDo] :
I cannot be busted, I have no warez here... And it
is not a crime to be in a group. I have however,
known many people who have been busted over
the years. Some due to their own stupidity, but
the majority due to "narcs". (Another unwelcome
part of the newbie attacks we suffer from)
Hindsight, etc.
A while back I knew a few people in Zeraw and it really amazed me just how much software went through their servers, something like six or seven 120GB drives' worth of stuff every 2 weeks or so. (This in 1998). It wasn't much of an issue as far as an impact on the industry until some started selling the stuff and it when it became way too easy for the man-on-the-street to get in and get stuff instead of actually going out and buying it. I'm actually surprised these groups lasted so long.
