Comment Macs had a similar issue not long ago (Score 5, Interesting) 133

It's ironic that the story would say you won't find this issue with a Mac Book air.

It wasn't too many years ago that iBooks had an issue where they would smell like body odor after the case had begun to oxidize.

We still have one. It still stinks.

I guess they were thinking most nerds wouldn't notice?

Indeed. There is a reason memorials are made out of things like stone. Things that don't really last make the person making the dedication feel better, but I've always felt they were bit hollow.

I still find it sad when I see those "In Loving Memory of" stickers on new cars of all things. ...That same car will rust and decay and eventually be sold for scrap in 20 years or less most likely. How does that honor anyone?

Thought I had replied to this but i don't see it here anymore...

Sorry, no. As much as we're not fans of the Light-O-Rama software (lots of interface quirks, costly upgrades) there really isn't a lot of options out there, and none of it is any better.

I'm pretty opposed to charging for software that is specifically for proprietary hardware anyway... so.. meh. Moving on.

NY Court Says Police Can't Track Suspect With GPS 414

SoundGuyNoise sends in a story that brings into relief just how unsettled is the question of whether police can use GPS to track suspects without a warrant. Just a couple of days ago a Wisconsin appeals court ruled that such tracking is OK; and today an appeals court in New York reached the opposite conclusion. "It was wrong for a police investigator to slap a GPS tracking device under a defendant's van to track his movements, the state's top court ruled today. A sharply divided NY Court of Appeals, in a 4-3 decision, reversed the burglary conviction of defendant Scott Weaver, 41, of Watervliet. Four years ago, State Police tracked Weaver over 65 days in connection with the burglary investigation."
