It's certainly a hefty package. I once noticed itunes added 50+ secs to a fresh windows instalation.
You don't have to used iTunes at all, If you have an iPod shuffle - you can use the "rebuild_db.exe" 9k application and simple drag and drop your music onto the player.
I've yet to see any commercially available Indoor PIR sensor for *retrofitting* light fitings, which seems strange as the technoligy exists and is used for outdoor security lights which come on - off automatically as you pass them / move.
I find this strange as it's an existing mature and cheap technology that could save plenty of juice, But then again people still buy energy inefficient bulbs.
Has anyones seen these anywhere?
While Bill Gates' generosity is certainly welcome, as some wise bloke once said "Never measure your generosity by what you give, but rather by what you have left." I'd bet my left nut the average Joe donates on average, a higher percentage of their wealth to charity than Gates does; and without a press release to the world every couple of months.
Please forgive me for being cynical about ruthless buisnessfolk.
Perhaps another reason for delay in acceptance of these findings, was that up until the early 90's the * worlds biggest selling drug * was one that inhibits stomach acid production and under patent - unlike cheap as beans & generic broad spectrum antibiotics.
Rather chilling when you consider one of the body's mechanisms of protection against bacteria is stomach acidity. Hence why European versions of this drug include the ancient antibiotic bismuth (also found in a famous pink stomach medicine)
So treating a symptom and possibly making it worse in the long run; good business plan - almost as graceful as nicotine enlarging airways and easing breathing: early adverts recommended cigarettes as a cure for bronchitis!

I'm curious as to what GMail uses as their spam filtering algorithm. - so are the spammers!
