Comment Re:Knowing apple.... (Score -1, Offtopic) 124

Using old hardware makes Jobs angry.... you wont like him when he's angry.... Then he wouldn't like what me and my friends did on sunday. We were walking in the mall in Orland Park, IL so just for fun we go into the apple store and change the back grounds on about half a dozen laptops to the microsoft logo, and the homepages to microsoft.com. Yes we are all nerds.

Comment Re:Inevitable but maybe a good thing (Score 4, Insightful) 310

I agree, in theory I'd love to take on sony with this kind of thing. But when the shit hits the fan and you have a lawyer telling you that you could lose your house and everything you've worked your whole life for then your I'd probably save my own skin too. Anyone that says the guy didn't do enough is an idiot, and they can only say that because they've never been anywhere near that kind of a situation. Companies like $ony have armies of laywers and will look for loopholes that would probably include lawsuits for anyone you've ever met your entire life, no one need that kind of hassle in thier lives. So I think everyone should just let the guy be, he's been trough enough already, and what he did do is alot more than most people.

Opera Mini servers get the page that you want to go to and then, the send it in a way so that is is viewable on your phone. So I'm sure that they will come out with a versoion for the tv's and stuff. Hell, they have a version that is compatable with the nintendo DS, so im sure that it's just a matter of time, for the tv work arounds.

http://www.fiercemobilecontent.com/story/itunes-now-70-digital-music-sales-amazon-growing/2010-05-27 I know this is kind of an old link but 70% of the market qualifies as monolopy. Plus the fact that they are about 30% of all music sold in the us every month. They are even under a DOJ invistigation. http://topnews.us/content/221070-apple-under-doj-investigation also kind of an old link. Then they are trying to dictate other stuff, like the whole thing with flash. IMHO if the DOJ is investigationg you for anti-trust laws, then your pretty much a monolopy or on the verge of becomeing one.

Submission + - Palin e-mail snoop gets year in prison (networkworld.com)

netbuzz writes: David Kernell, whose prying into Sarah Palin’s personal e-mail account caused an uproar two months before the 2008 presidential election, was today sentenced to a year and a day by a judge in Knoxville, Tenn. Kernell was convicted of misdemeanor computer fraud and felony obstruction of justice back in April. His attorney had argued for probation on the grounds that what Kernell did amounted to a prank that spun out of control.
