"It should be up to the courts to decide whether this deserves just a slap on the wrist. Until that time, it should be treated seriously."

No, he should be treated innocent UNTIL proven guilty in a court. That mean bail unless he is a flight risk or danger to the public at large. Also it does not mean freezing his bank accounts.

When I hear people say this myself and others have to call you on your Bullshit. You sat by for 8 years of Bush shredding our Constitution, spying on us, waging illegal wars, and massively consolidating power. And with your precious 2nd amendment making sure you had guns "just in case" the government ever went power crazy you did what? Right, nothing. The time to act if you were going to do something because you were afraid of the government has long past. If the government ever does plan on coming for your guns, which btw nobody is proposing, that will be step 100 out of 100 with steps 99 out of 100 haven already taken place. In other words, too little too late, the 2nd amendment won't protect you now.

"Only one person at a time may use the software on each licensed computer or licensed device. The service/software may not be used for commercial, non-profit, or revenue-generating activities."

So if your kids want to use Word to make a Lemonade Stand sign so they can sell Lemonade for .05 a cup on the front lawn? Ilegal!

Even worse your kids want to help out with Hurricane Sandy relief by making signs and posting them around the neighborhood telling people how they can help their local non-profit? Illegal!

Or I guess you can't even print up an Ad that you plan on hanging in the local supermarket saying you have a couch for sale?

Btw you wanna bet MS themselves hosts templates designed specifically for these activities?

It's time we hold these companies accountable for the crap they shove in the TOS. What Microsoft is doing is BS and they need to be called on it. Feel free to email Microsoft and tell them that you wanted to buy Office 2013 but because their TOS make both you and your children criminals, you went with Openoffice etc instead.

And many password strength checkers don't catch that either and let you think you are picking a good password.

Single factor authentication has had it's run. Now it's deader than a doornail. Time to move on and stop living in the past.

"What is truly scary is...this is it folks, this is the BEST the parties have to offer. Kinda sad isn't it?"

Obama may be no Bill Clinton, but with a less Obstructionist opposition he could have done a lot of good the last four years. How do you deal with a party that says we will not negotiate on anything and will go to the wall on every issue regardless of the consequences?

What's insanely scary is the leadership of the Right has just said this morning that they have no intention of trying to compromise AT ALL PERIOD for the next four year. They said it is 100% on Obama to come to them. What the fuck McConnell?

You want to play with Apple, you go by their rules and don't get to complain when things don't work out. I guarantee OS X 10.9 will be App Store only as well and Apple will give a crap if Photoshop and Office are not available for the Mac anymore. Let alone you puny developers. Remember, someone else will gladly take your place.

Does it look like Apple needs money? Apple doesn't need Adobe, Microsoft, or anyone anymore. They are like a giant self sustaining black hole that refuses to burst. And yet I do like my old Macbook and will probably purchase an Air to replace it at some point. Freaking Hypocrite. Sigh.

Fuck you Microsoft for making life harder for everyone all around who uses and supports Windows 7 and trying to force people into using your shitty Windows 8.

There are a Ton of high functioning alcoholics out there that are a lot more dangerous to themselves and their workplace vs smokers. At least smokers beyond smelling bad won't do any actual damage to coworkers inside of the office. Companies need to be really careful about adopting these sorts of policies.

A MORE expensive PS3? In this economy? They should have brought the price down to $199 not raised it by $20.

I use Foxfi and it couldn't be easier. Name the SSD you want to use, put in a password and Go. http, https, ftp, skype all work fine. I can do everything I would do when I am normally working. It's the same as being on any other WAP.

Finally they did Snow Leopard as well! You know, that OS that most Mac users are currently using?

They still haven't released Safari 6 for Snow Leopard or released Safari 5.1.8 etc to address the 121 fixes that Safari 6 brought to Lion. That's a huge problem. I'm very happy they fixed Java but why did they bother when Safari 5 is loaded with so many other flaws they won't bother fixing?

A bunch of zealots went way overboard calling Trolltech the antichrist when they did everything they could to bend over backwards for the OSS community. Considering how long it took for Gnome to become useable I am confident to this day that Linux on the Desktop would be light years ahead of where it is now if we had all just stuck with KDE from the get go. Of course that was when I actually cared about Linux on the Desktop. Linux has a bright future, just not on the desktop regardless of who is to blame.

Thanks for the link I'll check it out.

You should really read the full article. I know a whole 5 pages wahhh, but seriously it is well written and a very scary tale of someone being railroaded by the legal system. It was only through the charity of some celebrities and twitterers that he was able to appeal and get it overturned. Most of us would just be screwed and have to live with it. In the end he still had to go through losing his job and the ordeal of being a convicted criminal. Sad.

Fact: Most Mac users are at this point still running Snow Leopard.

Fact: Snow Leopard can only run Java 6 and Apple has stopped releasing security updates for it and the OS in general.

Fact: Most Mac users are SOL.

Sorry to be a bit trollish here but Apple, you know the richest company in history with money to burn, refuses to spend money to support an OS that is only 3 years old and that pisses me off.
