"After a User Dies, Apple Warns Against Counterfeit Chargers"
Why would I be careful with counterfit charges only after I, a user, die?

Comment: How to get anything in or out? (Score 1) 393
There's no rcp, scp, or ftp. Aside from manually entering in code and compiling, how do you get anything INTO this machine to make it do anything useful? I see there's telnet but only a loopback interface... somebody, quick! Do something useful!

Didn't they sue someone over the use of the word "Book" (teachersbook) or something like that? This was a common phrase to apply to a year book. This kind of stuff is just beyond me...nobody should be able to own common words or letters.
Soon enough each individual letter will be owned and anybody caught using any of them will have their pants sued off of them. Aside from the 24 letters, I wonder how far into extended ASCII (or worse yet UNICODE) they'll get. I claim umlaut.

Sounds an awful lot like a high(er?) tech version of a geocache to me. Somebody should post these to geocaching.com and suggest a new style of cache... a data cache.
