Looks like I am totally a fool. When I connected w/o Squid it was fine. Dunno why it wasn't displayed as a Squid error in my browser with the small picture of a squid, that is what led me to believe it was real. MY BAD! -Cow

This is not the type of thing to be fooling with at this stage in technology. Until we understand things better it wont be safe to do this. Nature has a way of surviving in unusual and surprising ways. Besides Microsoft, seriously even if you arent a mac user you would not put something in your body from this company with a history of poor quality and security problems in its software not to mention an emphasis on making money rather than making a quality product that makes money because it is good they make a mediocre one and people use it because they don't know any better or think they have no choice. Frankly even if Apple were to do this type of thing (which they wont) i would not mess with it anyway because they are a computer and software company. IBM Nanomachines? There is something dangerous from a company that actually specializes in such things is on the cutting edge of development and knows what the hell they are doing.

I'll be the first to admit that I don't know the entire story here, but since when is disagreeing with your boss a criminal offense?

What he did is inappropriate, but once they asked for access and/or rescinded his 'permission' and he refused to cooperate, he became a candidate for termination and perhaps civil liability. Whether or not he committed any criminal acts is up for debate. I think it's very dangerous to suppose that resisting your employer - even, no, especially if your employer is the government - is illegal.

Video on the logic board most likely. =( Doesn't sound like the LCD. This happens over time when the case and logic board flex each time you open the screen. If it flexed too far, you'll get the traces cracking which will lead to that type of behavior. Apple had the problem with their first G3 iBooks, but I thought they had remedied it. Ever had it repaired? It may not have been assembled properly (there's something like 60-80 screws on the way into a harddrive replacement), which could lead to this.
Apple laptop service tech guy here. =) Taken a few of them apart in my day.

Is't illegal wiretapping and collecting data in violation of the law a felony? If it could be proven that bush was directly responisble for the recent illegal survailance then he could be impeached. I think that there is no way that the techniques the president/NSA are using are not in direct violation of constitutional, statutory, and precidential law. If only somebody would hold the president legally accountable for his actions...
