Well speaking for those of us non-trolls all i can say is: this thing is fucking rad. As far as price goes, have you seen the army budget? Drop in the bucket my friends.
It was starting to look like the RIAA (I realize this isnt the RIAA, but I'm throwing them into the same category as the RIAA) was making more money off suing pirates than actually gross sales. What a hell of a business model.
Start > programs > accessories > Magnifier
Or whatever it is on windows machines. My point being, there are solutions that are already there and I know there are some other non-native solutions as well.
For YEARS lawyers and "concerned citizen" groups have been using the ADA to make money off of small businesses and architects. Now that that has dried up, it is time for them to start harassing the owners of websites. Public websites will be just the start of it, it will eventually be expanded into the private sector. While implementation of tools for better viewing of websites and web content would be a nice feature, it is hardly the job of the government to start making such mandates. The ADA needs to apply to enforcing the rights of the disabled, not the privileges
I *KNEW* 2 girls 1 cup was more than a smut film gone bad. Instead it is a story about two girls sharing good viruses with each other. That is so touching.
I think this shows not only an issue in general with IT security issues for spies, but likely shows a much larger weakness in covert operations as a whole- not only in the Russian government, but presumably our own. Russia has not only some of the most top notch hackers in the world, but also is no new kid on the block when it comes to spying. These guys have rivaled our (US) own CIA for years. To see them fall to such an amateur mistake is boggling (as we know there are no shortages of errors in our own spy programs). While I am sure that someone over in Russia is going to lose their job over this I wonder if any lessons will be learned by their (and our) Intelligence agencies- specifically looking at how this error can be avoided in other areas.
More interesting however, is HOW these guys got caught. Somehow the FBI got tipped off... Maybe NSA forwarded some emails they sniffed out.... Which brings me back to my first point. PGP anyone?
That is almost EXACTLY what I said to the publishers I work with when they asked me about the support for ad servers and HTML5 (which has no support, no surprise).
I haven't actually seen the creative assets yet, so I don't know if its a campaign designed at actually selling a product (most likely is), or just keeping the brand image out there. My guess is what ever the ad is it will be interactive with the user. I've run a few small tests for amusement to see what could be done to enhance the advertising experience (sorry web users, they are going to get more integrated)- It can do some pretty neat stuff. But I digress.
In either case, I agree making a campaign that eliminates IE just to use some technology that is in its embryonic phase is stupid. Not to mention when it is probably geared to people who already have a Mac. But that could also be the point. You already have a devoted user base, might as well advertise to them to sell them the latest product... Like an iPhone 4g.
Granted I do use Firefox and Chrome via my PC... So maybe I'll buy a Mac after these ads. j/k
In a couple weeks Apple is unleashing a new ad campaign all using HTML5 (as opposed to the flash & rich media (java) ads up till this point). Granted they are all going to be only viewable on compatible browsers (everything but IE), it is going to be interesting to watch advertising take on this new medium.

You clearly have trademark issues as well. "Pac" is distinctive so any name using "pac" will likely be a trademark infringement.
Yeah you are better off calling it Super Face.... errmm..
Grad students are even worse than that!

Well as long as I get to play as the thimble or hat, I have no complaints.
That will be the last time I ask to borrow someone's phone to make a call...
If you are reading slashdot you probably wont be using them anyway!
what a shitty problem!
I be 99% of the western culture is not and will die.
Is Asia ("eastern culture") not the most overly populated place on the planet? How does western culture get singled out here?

Wonder if they will outsource the tech support to the U.S. Oh, Irony.

So does that mean instead of emailed pron links my car will now just drive me to the smut shop on its own?
