It's not nearly as dire as that, unless we keep using light-water reactors... take a look at a brief summary of the situation that jibes with what I've heard from various sources. Can't seem to find anything peer-reviewed at the moment, but I'm sure it's out there.
Or the "jumping on floating bits across lava" scene in... uh, Star Wars III.
That Anakin Skywalker was disfigured in a battle on a lava planet goes all the way back to Lucas' novelization of the first Star Wars film in the 1970s. I do agree that the cinematic realization was inspired by video games, though. Reminds me of this Onion article.
Resonating with that specious argument, no way Apple has any control over what devices AT&T chooses to allow on its network. Don't think for a moment that Apple and AT&T's respective roles in the JV aren't stipulated contracturally in a document worth of the Sheliak. Apple has far less wiggle room with the iPhone than they do with the iPod Touch.
Thank you for making my drudge of a job a little bit more bearable. That made me literally laugh out loud. "Hello? Who did I just call? Mom? No, I don't want to talk to you. *click* Hello? Who..."
... or wait... that's always the dilemma with Apple; they're so tight-lipped you don't know when the latest-and-greatest happens until it's already on shelves. Got burned on my MacBook, so I think I'll be waiting.

Various developers are busy implimenting [sic] workarounds for serious bugs
in Intel’s Core 2 cpu. Perhaps its petty, but my opinion of Theo’s opinion was not enhanced by his apparent inability to spellcheck a post as seminal as this.
There is no denying that the ROKR was a flop in the market, however, as has been pointed out countless times before, the ROKR was a Motorola phone (E398-derived) running Motorola’s proprietary phone OS; Apple’s sole involvement was as the content provider for the mobile iTunes functionality. I don't think anyone can deny that comparing the ROKR to the iPhone (Apple-designed, running OS X) is tantamount to, well, comparing apples to oranges.
Am I the only one that read that subject, initially, as "Embedded Linux Printer"? Not that that's a totally uncool idea, now that I'm thinking about it...
I seem to be finding the dialogue is completely intelligible in the surround mix, but more and more often the stereo mixdown or matrixed audio is nearly impossible to understand; I don't know if it's poor mastering or just a side-effect of ProLogic II or whatever, but it's aggravating as hell.
It’s amazing how when Microsoft programs something for the Mac platform, it always ends up being the best, but when Apple programs something for Windows, it ends up always being the worst.
I’d definitely have to disagree with the assessment that Microsoft apps for the Mac are “the best;” that may well have been true in the past, but the current incarnation of Office for Mac is, without a doubt, the most bloated and ridiculously clunky ‘productivity suite’ I’ve ever had the misfortune of trying to use. Besides sucking memory like a hungry newborn, it has consistantly shown buggy formatting both in Word and in Excel.
... I use Office 2003 under Win2k in Parallels now.
Actually, 'immaculately conceived', in Catholic dogma, refers to the idea that Mary was conceived without Original Sin. 'Virgin birth' is what you're looking for. But it ruins so many jokes... immaculate contraption, etc.

The last email is seriously old news; it's been circulating since at least 2002: see here and here.

What's even more disturbing is that I found that strangely erotic.

Somehow, my coffee-deprived eyes read that as "Commander Lockley looks extra sexy with a goatse"... and the mental imagery was vivid and horrifying.

I haven't seen a gas pump without a numeric keypad in years. Might be an issue in rural areas, though.
