That still doesn't justify Apple's software disabling MusicMatch's software without the computer owner's consent.
But the small print will probably have taken care of that...
I'm not anti-Apple or anything. I like those iBooks, and I think OS X is okay. It's just that intentionally breaking the functionality of another application seems sleazy to me.
We've already heard white noise, and soon we'll be able to hear blue noise! Meh.

Also, in the series Alias, there were some guys from an criminal organization called the K Directorate. You can guess what kind of desktop they used;-)
the indie store owner said he buys product for about $6 and sells it for $15. = "As an indie, I'm getting a 100% markup! I'm rich! Rich like astronauts!"
The second guy said he was overpriced and the standard price everywhere else was $12. = "You corporate whore!"
the flamer then made the accusation that he was implying if the indie store owner was truly indie, he should sell everything at a loss. = "ah yes, to be sufficiently indie you have to sell everything at a loss, how could we forget."
No, he's making a sarcastic remark. It goes like this (mostly paraphrased for others' amusement):
>> "As an indie, I'm getting a 100% markup! I'm rich! Rich like astronauts!" > "You corporate whore!" "ah yes, to be sufficiently indie you have to sell everything at a loss, how could we forget."
The last comment (about selling at a loss) is actually meant to sublty flame the "corporate whore" comment.
No, he means such a bonus item would be a good encouragement for people to buy a legit version instead of copying/downloading it and applying a custom patch.
Also, I fear that this technology will actually put people off the game, make it like a kind of negative demo. People might copy it, or download it, and then notice that the game is way too hard, and then proceed to not like, and thus not buy, the game in question.
You're complaining that the classes about the history of the 14th century were Euro-centric? Erm, do you realize that Columbus discovered America only in 1492? Or did you not pay attention in class?:-P
NGC 4151 is 40 million light years from Earth, far beyond the most distant object previously detected
by this type of telescope system, which was about 3,000 light years from Earth.

So Apple co-operated with MusicMatch, up and until it had its own software, and then used it to knock out its former partner.
Reminds me of a certain big software company somewhere in the North West of the USA.
Nah, most of them will have gotten used to a little UV radiation by now.

What was that rule again? Ah:
Never interrupt your enemy while he's making a mistake.
Looks like it's an -- illegal -- bundle sale of a jig with printed toilet paper!
So, when can I purchase a bending unit?

Get it now?
I just watched Gattaca on BRT2, a Belgian tv station. Good movie!
Start worrying about them getting stolen ;-)

I've got a Futurama soundbite that says: "You've got mail! It's not spam!" :-)
Yep, Myrealbox.com rocks!
Mozilla handles functions 2 and 3 already.
Yes, I do. I'm not totally stupid, you know :-P
;-)
Just a little bit
I know that. But the history classes, even in Europe, don't usually pay much attention to that either.

I for one, welcome our new molecular overlords :-P
The galaxy in question is supposedly called the "Beowulf Cluster" ;-)
Ah, that explains.
What about the Hubble Deep Field images that showed galaxies as much as 13 billion light years away?
Nice Stephenson (Snow Crash) reference!
Yeah, and if you have a bomb capable of destroying a planet implanted in Bender, don't set the keyword to "ass"... ;-)
