People also forget that, as much as this sucks, it's worth it to not cause a panic too early when maybe they don't have all the details themselves. I would rather hear the solid facts in a calm manner a little later than a panicked "um, some of your information was stolen, we're still figuring out the scope of this..." on zero day.

+1 for this. Silverlight hasn't been around that long, they obviously were fairly recently able to learn something new. It's understandably frustrating to lose all that work, but they can certainly do it again and move on. The tech world is ever-changing, and we have to be too.

Coincidentally, the meetings are often called by and full of social tools as well. I'm glad we only have them once a month or so.

Exactly. Argh. 99% of women give the rest of us a bad name!

So much potential here, and they ruined it by using COMIC SANS.

Cubes!

nook is LCD dumbass...

And learn to spell before you start talking about physics, the concepts of which are obviouly well beyond your grasp...

In my case, a Google search of this username comes up with a completely different meaning of the name than I intended (I work in IT, and am not... whatever "the 'it' girl" is supposed to mean). Also, my real name is the same as that of a porn star, so anybody who started looking for me would get distracted long before they found me. I'm safe!

Masturbation.
Go on, have fun.

You're welcome.

They do. It's called sales tax, and the neat thing about it is that it applies not only to Apple products, but to everyone equally. Cool, huh?

I mean, what the hell? I don't even have any Apple products aside from my old iPod, but your logic ("hurrrrr let's tax people who prefer a particular brand more than others!") is ridiculous.

But then they wouldn't get the smug satisfaction of pointless America-bashing.

As if this problem isn't bad enough already. I absolutely hate going down the highway seeing billboards with misspellings. It just looks so...stupid. It's amazing how technology was supposed to make us better, smarter, faster... doesn't it seem like in some ways it's making us (well, the average population) weaker, lazier, and dumber?

It boggles the mind, honestly. I just cannot imagine being so shallow and.. ridiculous.

Of course--but usually you get what you pay for, so the nicer atmosphere and better food is going to be a little more expensive. Despite what some people seem to think these days, you can't get something for nothing, or every perk you want without ponying up for it. Things cost money, service requires a paycheck for the employee, and quality in either of these areas requires more money than a cheaper, lesser alternative.

Imagine how many edits could be done to Wikipedia articles surrounding details of a widely publicised case, too. Anything with that much potential for bias is a bad idea.
