More complex DRM seems to be the only way out of this, but I thought the EU wanted Apple to drop DRM to allow cross compatibility. Perhaps all the EU wants is an even stricter version of Fairplay that can be used by all other competitors to Apple?
This is a step in the wrong direction for digital music it seems.
I agree on the Jordan vs. Bird game. I did buy that game to play as Bird however. Go Celtics!
PS - I know the Celts are the worst team in the NBA this year, but back then even the pastiest geeks were fans of the Green.
Actually these ads are illegal in the city of Boston. A company can't just put up bills on public buildings or structures with no permit. The 4 calls were probably due to citizens being vigilant after one of the subway lines was shut down in the morning when the first device was found.
It is something to get indignant about when someone runs into your office telling you to turn on the news and the hospital where your wife works is on TV with freaking BOMB SQUAD trucks outside it. You might think its no big deal, but to many Bostonians it is a very big deal and something we're mad as hell about.
As someone who lives in Boston, I'm glad they decided to take these precautions. You have to take these all seriously, because who knows if they're threats or not?
I'm mad as hell about this ad campaign because when it comes time to pay for all the police activity today, you can bet your ass Ted Turner won't offer to foot the bill.
Dell sets up their operation with laptops designed as "Desktop Replacements." These heavy beasts, like my two year old Inspiron 5100, are really designed for home computing and not lugging all over the place.
Frankly I'm not sure who would want a Dell laptop this large. This seems like a competitor to the 17" Powerbook or something, but I don't know how big a market there is for one of those either.
