Yes, now we can read the name on that credit card of the guy 50 yards in the background of the picture taken with a cellphone camera.

Great, just what I'd want, more crap pre-installed on a factory built computer. Will they also have to install the yahoo searchbar, google searchbar and msn searchbar in each browser they install? Explorer is too proprietary of a file explorer, they should have to bundle ExplorerXP, freeCommander, and A43. If anything, it seems like all the EU is trying to do is make Windows so unusable that the eventual move to linux will be a godsend.

I don't know if that's really a great example. So far in Ubuntu 8.10 I've had multiple system control windows that extend below the bottom of the screen, so if I want to change some advanced preference, I have to guess how many times to press [tab] and then [enter] if I want to 'click' OK for the changes. I have yet to experience this when playing around with XP or Win7. I've only been using this netbook for a short while with each operating system, though. About a week for XP, then a week for Ubuntu, and now a week or so for Win7.

Well, setting it up to work on two monitors worked for me. Even though it's on a different computer from yours, and uses a different videocard, but it worked for me! So you must be lying! Year of the Linux desktop!

Uhhh as a former student, this seems pretty silly. I haven't had any problems with XP or the Office 2003 Suite at all. What are these people expecting Windows to do, pull their personal info, poll it to Microsoft through WGA, and have Microsoft check College enrollment records?

I do know of one other reason why people would be afraid of WGA, though.

"Subject: Fire.

Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to inform you of a fire that has broken out on the premises of 123 Cavendon Road..."

no, that's too formal.
*deletes text, starts again*
"Fire! fire! help me! 123 Cavendon Road. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Yours truly, Maurice Moss."

Houston has a tunnel system and bus system/light rail. It could certainly be better, but it's something.

I know I've been out of college for a little while now, but do people actually blow through TVs that fast these days? At the risk of sounding old, that just seems wasteful.

Get off my lawn!

This can pretty much apply to all laptops in general. Most major manufacturers still gouge at a ridiculous level on increasing the RAM pre-installed in a laptop. Apple may be the leader of the pack in overpricing, but unfortunately, all of them do it to some extent.

This makes a lot of sense, especially in a supply limited environment where one can't simply make an additional copy of the product at little to no cost.

Will those $0.69 primarily be the karaoke tracks?

Besides the current near impossibility of building a clone instead of using existing DNA, he made that statement because the method for sequencing is only 99.3% accurate. So basically, you completely missed his point, since he was saying he understood they may not need 100% accuracy (not cloning), but wondered where something with a 99.3% sequencing accuracy would be applicable.

I'm willing to bet Ford will still be around and doing OK at that point.

That's a shame, since this (likely temporary) problem is a result of Microsoft shoehorning new features that are intended for new hardware onto their old players. A great treat for the consumer and something standing in stark contrast to many other companies' modus operandi.

So it's only the players used to watch Anime?
