They aren't options if you are just selling stock you aquired through some other means than an actual options award. I dunno, say you started the company and you retained a percentage of it. Don't confuse Larry and Sergei's cashing in with flipping options. It's not the same thing, and it doesn't mean the same thing to Google's bottom line.
What's interesting about the article is that a lot of the operations should be taking advantage of Altivec on the PPC and whatever the heck intel uses (MMMXXX?) on the Core Duo. The fact that the intel chip was even slightly faster than the almighty altivec on tasks that should be optimized for it bodes exceptionally well.
How much does the extra core help here? Someone needs to fire up CHUD, turn off one of the procs and re-run the benchmarks.
Ah, I've always known my company was "Special"... Seriously though, it probably won't run windows out of the box, but you can bet the next version of VirtualPC will rock.
Actually, maybe we'll see some competition in that area, since the problem just got a whole lot easier to solve.
Linux, of course will most likely be booting off this machine within 8 hours of the first Slashdot user receiving theirs in the mail.
Perhaps it's not a good idea, but if you justify it as cooling down oceans we've already heated up, then it's completely consistent with human history as it relates to science: No matter what we've screwed up, we always think we are, at the moment of thought, smart enough to fix the new problem.
for instance:
Break something in nature (say, introduce a non-native species)
Attempt to implement a "complimentary" fix for that problem (introduce another non-native species that likes to eat the first)
I think you're confusing the functionality of Wine with that of VirtualPC.
On VirtualPC, you are emulating hardware at a pretty low level and running a full version of windows, there are some extensions that can be loaded, optionally, to improve things like copy/paste between OSX and Windows, but you're running a full otherwise unadulterated version of Windows.
You can (and I do) install Windows from a normal Windows ISO rather than the "special" one that ships with VPC, simply by "booting" the VPC from the ISO. You can even install an x86 Linux distro on VirtualPC if you like.
Therefore, I don't see any reason this wouldn't affect VirtualPC users.
Without excusing the security hole, is it really that surprising that the emails are stored as "plain, unencrypted text"? I would think that encrypting e-mails on a mail server of that size would be the exception rather than the norm. Anyone know if Exchange is encrypted?
No Sane webmaster?
If you'd ever used any enterprise level analytics before other than the hit counter.gif on your geocites page you'd know that this is how most of the best web-site analytics engines work (Hitbox/HBX Analytics for one). Google isn't breaking new ground here. Yes, you need to be able to trust companies that you partner with. Shocker, I know.

Just think, the lone intern that was responsible for the Mac version is now free to write crappy software for Windows. hahahah. Suckers!

Perhaps Coldfusion, WebObjects, .net, or J2EE+Struts (depending on your definition of 'commercial')
