Furthermore, the agreement seems to have been created without the involvement of a lot of lawyers and some members of the community worry that the FLA might have unintended consequences if adopted without sound legal advice.
Who knew that the lack of involvement of a lot of lawyers would be seen as a bad thing?
If approved, this propoal would increase the price of a 30-GB iPod by 26%... The backbone of digital photography has become tangled up in the fight for making sure music companies get every nickel and dime they feel that they deserve.
When did ipods become the "backbone of digital photography"?
Researchers at the MIT McGovern Institute for Brain Research have used a biological model to train a computer model to recognize objects, such as cars or people, in busy street scenes.
this is, of course, the first step in finding Sarah Connor.
All I have to say is, Artists and their surrogates who fall into the trap of seeking recompense for every possible second use end up attacking their own best audience members for the crime of exalting and enshrining their work.
So some people are trying to silence magazines about a subject they object to, and Amazon refuses to be intimidated or allow them to intimidate others on their property.
In an open letter this week, Jobs said that removing the software would also allow greater usability for customers, as any online music store would be able to sell songs that would work on all players. Warner Music, the world's fourth largest record company, seems far from convinced.
And what, if anything, would music labels know about customer usability and convenience?
From the writeup, it sounds like they've created Mr. Fusion. So when the Flux Capacitor is created, at least the inventor won't be chased down at the twin pines mall by middle eastern terrorists in a vw bus.
Mayor Menino: This isn't even a check, it's a bill!
Ignignokt: No it is a check, tell him Err.
Err: It's a bill.
Ignignokt: It's a...! Why the hell are we trying to cash a bill!?
The NYTimes reports that the Turner Broadcasting System and the ad agency responsible have reached a $2M settlement with the city of Boston and state and federal agencies that treated the light boards placed around the city as an act of terrorism (as covered earlier on/.)
It may have cost them $2 million, but the amount of coverage (read: free advertising) they got for the upcoming ATHF movie is almost immeasurable.

The improvements include searching across multiple networked Macs, parental search snooping
I'm not sure that's an improvement. a "new addition", but not an improvement.
They should have gone with Cingular
Are you kidding? Cingular will charge you upwards of $31,000 for calls you didn't even make.
"We don't know where the ringing is coming from,"
I can only imagine what that roaming charge looks like.

We've all heard of Google bombing; the US Government may be taking the expression rather literally.
And it has as much to do with an actual bomb as an Aqua Teen Hunger Force advertisement.

And we thought the exploding batteries were bad..
Yeah, this guy got fired.
So some people are trying to silence magazines about a subject they object to, and Amazon refuses to be intimidated or allow them to intimidate others on their property.
Yeah, it shows what kind of company Amazon is, versus Wal-Mart who would have caved in.
Mortimer.CA writes with a recently released report from Berkley entitled "The Landscape of Parallel Computing Research: A View from Berkeley
Would that be a Parallelograph?
China has already implemented a massive online ID database, which they say will help prevent fraud.
And by "fraud", they mean "democracy".
So the 'Night Wind' project wants to store wind energy produced at night in refrigerated warehouses
So do they release this "Night Wind" with a "Dutch Oven"?

Windows Media DRM has had fewer security breaches than Apple's FairPlay, yet WM DRM is licensed out the wazoo
I had no idea that the MS licensing department was actually an orifice.
A celebration is planned for the winner and other players on February 24th, somewhere in London.
Don't tell me they're going to make the players work to find out that location too.
Wake me when they invent the Flux Capacitor.
From the writeup, it sounds like they've created Mr. Fusion. So when the Flux Capacitor is created, at least the inventor won't be chased down at the twin pines mall by middle eastern terrorists in a vw bus.
The followup to the violent Rockstar title from 2003 will 'push game design and storytelling forward'
And by "push game design and storytelling forward", they mean "piss off Jack Thompson".
I got sick of the "save the caravan" one, previous to that was the first time (early on) where you had to follow the Orc guy, and beat off his armor
Are you playing the hentai version? I played through the entire thing and never had to beat anyone off.
Yeah, but wait until they get to the bank:
Mayor Menino: This isn't even a check, it's a bill!
Ignignokt: No it is a check, tell him Err.

Why is the mainstream news media failing to report on this potential breakthrough?
Because reporting on the mooninite invasion of Boston gets more ratings?
Google Earth has agreed to blur and distort Indian locations
I thought the US government took care of that already, around 1838?
"What is the proper size and scope of government?" Yeah, good luck using the internet discussions to solve THAT problem.....
It does seem to be an out-of-control problem. According to wikipedia, the size and scope of the government has tripled in the last six months.
The accumulation and focusing of knowledge may be the noblest use or purpose of the internet.
That's your opinion. Midget porn afficionados would beg to differ.
