its about as sweet a sentiment as getting her name tattooed somewhere on your body...
just what happens if/when a breakup occurs. there it'll be, haha suckers
or instead of the artists becoming just another name on the list of sales, they could actually produce good music. If you've ever been to a good local band's show(or a local of somewhere else), you'll wonder how some of these other idiots ever get a CD at Best Buy. the answer comes from the whole monetary requirement to get that done.
although Palm never had quite the impact of the iPod on the masses, I do believe that once upon a time when they were originally introduced they were a fairly must have item, since cells didn't do much more than make phone calls and laptops were still fairly heavy.
there's going to have to be some large steps forward in the PDA market, much like your iPod analogy, to get it really out there. and not only will its features and actual functionality be important, but also its baseline price. too expensive, and it will never catch on.
perhaps it seems like a waste because something like a simple media player sounds like a pretty piddly thing to be worrying about. which realistically it is, however when you see that a ruling of this nature applies to much more than just one little application, but a whole range of them, it really takes it back to the whole fact that Microsoft basically wants every piece of your PC system to run Microsoft applications only. This way, they can justify charging you more money, or in the very least keep money from flowing to competing applications who never have a chance to begin with since most people are likely to use what it comes with. The only way it could be worse is if MS tried to make it so you simply couldn't use anything but software they approved of use, and I think if they could have it this way, they probably would.
i myself am a replacement for a truly uncapable programmer (two of them at one point in time) who spent the better part of 3 years creating a program which only performed one of its intended functions, and did it poorly at that... pinging another machine
I, however, have done in 5 months everything that program was intended to do, and then some. booya.
In essence my true response is that a complex program requires complex(rigorous) thinking. Less complex programs require less complex thinking.
Gates ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. And Gates blessed the seventh verstion, and sanctified it; because that in it he had rested from all his work which Gates created and made.
hehe I was thinking the exact same thing. I'd rather be put on the news having downloaded some Led Zepp or AC/DC or something. Hell I'd even take Asia.
"...Sony says it will be better than the Xbox 360's features"
and my dad says he can beat up your dad:P
it would be nice if instead of just simply saying that it will be better, that they say WHY and HOW it will be better. anything else is pure speculation.
I think it would just be easier to take the control of the car away from the driver, like in minority report. of course then they'd just bombard you with personalized ads from the moment you step into the car to the moment you get out:(

need i say more about the ignorant stupidity of this writer
Whats the likely hood one of 250 employies would go on false date with one of 15 million customers? This does not make sense on any level... I bet this guy is just frustrated that he isn't successful with women and so figures it must be someone else's fault but his own.

no, but you get a free T-shirt saying 'Microsoft !(Inside)' or 'Microsoft ^(Inside)', whichever you prefer
Wow are you serious? Jeez, I guess $40K a year just doesn't buy as much as it used to... ha!
NCSU sure spoiled us then, with nice Wi-fi access 24/7. And at under $10K a year to boot!
because MicroSoft is 10 years behind when it comes to security and stability of the OS

maybe we should all just use aluminum cans connected by strings instead of VoIP
mutated sea bass will be the only good thing to come from this
I wouldn't even run XP on a system like that, 512 meg of RAM just doesn't cut it once you get more than a few windows open
turn on CNN, I need my fix!!!
