Arvisp writes "According to a blog post by former Google China president Kai-Fu Lee, Apple plans to produce nearly 10 million tablets in the still-unannounced product's first year. If Lee's blog post is to be believed, Apple plans to sell nearly twice as many tablets as it did iPhones in the product's first year."

Bismark was actually extremely unlucky. They got a torpedo stuck in their rudder. So all they could do is turn around in circles, easy target, no?

The Swiss make the best stuff of course :-)

To protect France from what? Nonexisting WMDs? Some OBL in a cave? I see... You know they might not let you fly over their country because they happen to be a sovereign country and it is their right. How often are foreign bombers allowed to fly over US territory?

Yeah, whatever...
Anyway you have a very limited definition of "nerd". Only someone who knows all unix commands by heart is a nerd?

I just updated from 10.5 to 10.6. Suddenly I have 15GB more free disk space. So is this not because 10.6 takes less place but just because it measures the size of the hard-disk differently? That would be cheating! Is there a way to check the true free space? Cheers, ecbpro

You see, this is one of the good reasons there is the Swiss bank secrecy system. It is no-ones business how much money you have or owe! (but there needs to be a system that makes sure you pay your taxes). It is really a pity that US citizens are not allowed to use it anymore...

I live in Europe and I don't want the US to have ANY kind of access to bank transactions I am making INSIDE of Europe. It is none of their business! They have NO RIGHT to look at any of this data, member nations of Europe are supposed to be sovereign countries. They have police and intelligence that is perfectly capable of doing the job (probably much better than any US agency). Also people who's data has been accessed have to be informed. And then you wonder why many Europeans don't like the US? Why should Europeans trust US agencies? Would the US let Europeans look at all transactions INSIDE of the US?

It is becoming increasingly dangerous to be a scientist working for a government.
Just remember the British scientist Dr David Kelly who "committed suicide" prior to the war in Iraq.
