Too bad that at least here in Germany, and I believe all of Europe, most household trash get incinerated leaving only some ashes and metals that already do get recycled. Even old, already existing trash mounds are being treated that way. So no raw material mines for us in the future.
The again, if you actually read what Gartner said it's quite resasonable. They just said that right now there isn't much in it for companies widely distributing a buch of iphones to their employes because it does not for example support Exchange or Notes. Which is a fact.
This could all change quite quickly in the future.
Applets in the Dock sound like a great idea. I use neither the Dashboard nor do i like the Vista way of putting applets on the desktop. I would actually use applets in the Dock.
Balance in the sense of a non pro-moore stance nothing else;) I don't know who the dude is or what hes selling nor do i care, but you are correct with your statement!
I know everyone loves M. Moore and his message and I would be the first to root for him...if he was genuine. This guy seems to have no journalistic integrity, at least there is enough information out there to be very skeptic. He likes to manipulation just the same as the people is he critical of. Just for some balance:

Funny thing is, supposedly the sudent discount does not prevent you from beeing able to get your VAT back if you are elegible. This is directly form a sales rep, but do take this with a grain of salt I would always double check.
1: Everyone knows this one: Do not buy overpriced RAM from Apple!;)
2: Try to buy a laptop right after an hardware upgrade cycle at Apple. The models taken out of the Apple store can usually be found with a big markdown at independant resellers (I saved 500 on my MBP that way, couldn't have afforded even the low-end MPB at the Apple store otherwise).
3: Do not buy Applecare form Apple. The Applecare plan for an MBP is 349$ at the Apple Store. They can be had much cheaper at ebay. Usually at around 200$.
4: At least here in Germany you can get a significant student discount. Even if you are not a student yourself. All you need is any Student ID number, it does not have to be yours personally, and enter it online on purchase or call up a sales rep. I have not tried this myself though.
This would be even more restrictive than it used to be travelling to East Germany, which was not really fun either. I feel less and less a free human who can move around this world, that i was born into, freely. Just when you thought it couldn't get much worse (so soon!)...
To add to the insult, SMS messages used to be a byproduct of early mobile phone carriers internal communtications with the phone. It's just part of the protocol. It was never meant to be used by the end-user at all. Some people figured out how to use it for their custom messages and after a while it became hugely popular. At that point hey charged a small nominal fee but soon realized that the customers were willing to pay much more for it and it became the cash cow it is today. For a while, the open SMS proxies of the carriers charged by the minute. That meant anyone with an ISDN connection (this is in Germany) could dial in and could drop any amount off messsages that would fit in each timeframe. That is how the free SMS web services operated. Of course that has all changed now.
What is most worrisome about the ruling, if everyone would shut up about physical RAM chips, is that a transient collection of 1s and 0s is considered a 'document'. It could be quite a beautiful sight to hand over thousands of pages full of hex code from memory dumps and have the MPAA pay for the discovery.
Yes, shrink. And only that, it's really not that spiffy. It requires youto have completely free space at the end of your partition. All it does is rewrite the partition table to end at an earlier position. On any normaly used disk you will have to do full fragmentation first before doing any shrinking. So even doing something as simple as setting up boot camp requires a very specigic setup.
I just finished installing Boot Camp on an external USB harddrive. It takes a little work (WinXP doesn't like to install itself on a usb drive), but it's really a nice and flexible setup. And it allows me to play LOTR Online;). For development and testing i prefer Parallels, which can use your existing Boot Camp partition.
It does in Parallels, but not (yet?) in Boot Camp. In Boot Camp you can put two fingers on the touch pad and click the mouse button to perform a right-click. Two finger scrolling works however.
Serioulsy, does anyone even really miss it these day? Tapping on the touchpad with two fingers for a right-click really does not make me miss a second button.
A little story from when i visited Floroda: The Florida Everglades National Park are continually trying to buy up more land to conserve and protect it. A while ago, i forget when, most of the Everglades where sold of to some Japanese company for their paper industry of all things. I guess they never actually vitited the Glades before the purchase. So they basicaly got duped and are in the process of selling back the land, thank god.
The difference between your average on-board RAID and an add-on card is that the on-board chip still offloads most operations to the CPU so it's kind of like doing it the soft modem way for those that remember. You generally do not get,uch of an advandage (and sometimes more problems instead) than using either Windows' or Linux's build in softraid functionality. So the market for RAID add-on cards is where performance is at all an issue.

How true!
OMG, I wish I could mod you flamebait/troll so bad right now. No further comment.

Agreed, and it is very easy to just buy from someone else on the next purchase of a PC as well. Easier than switching Banks or the insurance provider.

I find the one mouse button it does have actually kind of useful for drag'n'drop. The tap and release substitution feels too awkward for me.

I bet she was cute too!
Ok, how do mirrored sunglases work then?
I can also think of a number of great Jazz LP's from the 60's. I have no idea what the GP is talking about.

And I am not happy to see Dune II by Westwood Studios not beeing recognized as the basis for which the success of WarCraft was build on.
Sweet, I seem to be in the lucky(?) 10%
