I don't know how they measured the dominance of these search engines, but I know how its supposed to be done: by the number of hits it gets on Google. In that respect,
Google: 9,630,000,000
Yahoo: 5,240,000,000
MSN: 4,220,000,000
Ask: 2,140,000,000
Clearly, though, the most dominant search is the word "search" itself. It gets 16,670,000,000 hits.
I can hardly remember the original message now that you've blinded me with your wit. I'd better write that diaper thing down. If only I could give mod points to an anonymous coward.:)
Vista is amazingly secure. I've been trying to crack a Windows Vista machine all morning, and I can't even find one. Nothing like those operating systems that people are actually using.
that Google likes to keep things secret? That company has done more to prevent the rest of us from keeping anything secret than a team of private investigators could.
I think Sony's biggest problem with getting widespread adoption of Blu-Ray is that the vast majority of users are happy with the current DVD format. The improvement from VHS to DVD was obvious. Replacing your DVD collection with an expensive Blu-Ray collection that may never catch on with most people seems ludicrous.
People might find Blu-Ray equipment in the closet with their Betamax VCRs and their old minidisc players.
Even if Apple did buy Nintendo--which I think is extremely doubtful--I don't think it would benefit either company to combine their branding at all. Nintendo does games and Apple, as Slashdot has discussed ad nauseum, doesn't. Who is supposed to benefit from diluting two strong brand names?
But if I discover the hidden content and tell two friends, then they each tell two friends...the fines could reach millions of dollars easily. Is the government into multi-level marketing style fines?
The ability to do whatever you want with a PC is way ahead of where it was 10 years ago. The question isn't whether a program will properly create your photo gallery/handle your e-mail/deliver news to your desktop, it's which free program will do it best. I don't think young people ever stop to think, I need to do this myself the same way they might have 10 years ago.
A calculator is still pretty limited if you don't learn to program the stupid thing, or at least to manipulate someone else's programs. If someone cares about making the thing work at its maximum, they'll learn what they need to, but PCs don't make young programmers feel needed anymore...
And, yes, I think it's a problem--a distinctly American one, unless we'd like to see highly trained Asians and Indians doing all the technical work 10 years from now.

You can do that with Beyond TV Link. There are other ways, but Link is pretty easy. http://www.snapstream.com/products/beyondtvlink/
I've yet to hear about recalls for laptop batteries in actual Sony laptops. Are the batteries actually better?

Nintendo probably only did that to protect themselves from more predatory companies. I doubt Nintendo would try to go after Sony or Microsoft legally.

...but can I use it as cell phone?
"Slashdot ladies"? How do you regulate a fictitious class of people?
Is there some kind of Dvorak filter for Slashdot readers?
This proves it. Apple is a bad elevator company.
