It sucks to pay the Windows tax. There seems to b a bit more hope for those of us that would like to get the laptops without paying the cost of a copy of Windows that we're not going to use, and is non-transferable (Amazon UK, and maybe Dell).
That's been going on for ages... it's just getting easier. (It's also a nice way of backing up your files). The problem is, you don't really accumulate a lot of newer music that way, if that's what your interested in. You will generally accumulate music that is new to you though.
When driving you have to deal with other bad drivers, car faults, road conditions, etc.
I consider this part of being a good driver. Want a good way of teaching people to be good drivers? Make them drive a motorcycle for a couple of years.
People that drive less are less of an insurance risk? Perhaps as the time driven approaches zero... but I would think people that drive well are way less of an insurance risk. This assumes of course that they only need to pay out when at fault. Shouldn't this at least be weighted by some sort of driving test that evaluated real-world conditions?
Not all advertising is lying. It can purely be describing your product in objective terms to your audience. This is actually even done on occasion, although it does seem to be getting more rare.
This might be extremely useful if one wanted to implement a server component of thin client, or a web based OS. I seem to recall a lot of stuff about one of those in the news lately. (It may be completely unrelated, but they may have some plans for it).
Ignoring good opportunities seems to be a Linux tradition. (In the marketing sense, not the technical sense). I think big inroads could have been made with netbooks with a bit of advertising.
I was thinking the same thing. It depends on how it's constructed. Even some of the 'filtered' power bars may have enough filtering to eliminate signal leak, but as they said, the signal is picked up from the ground, so I have too little analog electronics knowledge remaining to be sure.
Doesn't matter. Based on the number of security exploits found in Adobe software over the last couple of years, I'm of the opinion that they shouldn't be allowed to write software for public consumption anymore. It seems that every week there's another PDF or Flash exploit out. If Google is promoting the OS based on how secure it is, they may want to develop their own Flash and PDF viewers.

As they say, any press is good press. The unwashed masses are only hearing "Apple, Apple, Apple".
I think I recognize your writing style from other Sony advertising.

Not a problem. Crack the DRM in a more reasonable country.
The more appropriate expression might be 'on steroids'. If it was 'on crack', it would look like a MySpace page.
They seem to have had Windows developers in to teach them about writing secure software.

I think SoundCloud.com is a site that's already gained some traction is doing this. Either the labels do it, or somebody else will.
Highway accidents generally have more serious damages and injuries.

This generally assumes you're not paying for the machine yourself.

Don't taunt the PS3 fans ... they've had a rough couple of years.

Slashdot is an excellent source of many of these sentences, as with spelling mistakes they're even harder to brute-force.
I think I hear a whooshing sound.
When will the madness end?

Armed and Dangerous had fantastic dialog as well ... and a Land Shark gun.

Or perhaps DPRK? They're annoyed with both of the target countries lately.
Could their recent mention of releasing NeatX, an open source NX server, be related to this?
That would be Steve Jobs ... but he's a sick man.
