Journal Journal: Do Slashdot Editors Need Remedial English?

In two different front page stories, one on May 23 and one on May 25, the headline proclaimed that one party sued another. In both cases, they were threatening potential lawsuits if their demands were not met, meaning no one was actually suing in either story.

Submission + - London's new planetarium opens to the public

shojokid writes: The London Planetarium, owned by Madame Tussauds was "rebranded" last year to The Stardome but at least Londoners now have a new Planetarium @ the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich, south-east London as part of the Time and Space Project. It features a Digistar 3 projector system which is said to be one of the more advanced. (list of Digistar Planetariums around the world) And the entrance cost is about the same as the tube fare around London.
It's funny.  Laugh.

Submission + - Apple sued - Macbook LCD not "millions" of

qu1j0t3 writes: "Business 2.0 reports, "Two MacBook owners ... have filed a class action lawsuit ... charging the company with deceptive advertising, misrepresentation and unfair competition over the use of the phrase 'millions of colors' to describe the capability of the LCD displays in MacBook and MacBook Pro computers." (Engadget broke the story. I can't comment if these guys have a genuine complaint; I've no plans to upgrade my Powerbook G4.)"

Submission + - Why Vista + Longhorn = Faster Networking

tomlasusa writes: Networking on Windows has always sucked, especially across LANs. Network Computing details improvements to the TCP stack and networking support in Microsoft Vista and Longhorn, including receive-side-window autotuning and the Compound TCP algorithm, which will increase network performance. Tests showed a Windows Vista computer had twice the throughput downloading a file from a Windows 2003 server, compared with the same download to a Windows XP computer. Longhorn will provide an additional boost. Could Windows networking finally be up to snuff? http://www.networkcomputing.com/channels/storagean dservers/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=199200598

Submission + - Steve Jobs highest paid CEO - $646 Mil

Whiney Mac Fanboy writes: "Fans of Apple CEO Steve Jobs are quick to point out that he is only paid a $1 salary for his role at Apple. However, according to Forbes he's the highest paid executive in the US — to the tune of 646 Million dollars for 2006. From the article

Forbes said the highest-paid CEOs were not always those that delivered the most to shareholders.Forbes said by its analysis, Apple's Jobs was 36th. Topping the list was John Bucksbaum of General Growth Properties, a real-estate investment trust. Over the past six years, Bucksbaum was paid $US723,000 a year while delivering a 39 per cent annual return to shareholders.
I wonder how much of that $646 Million was from improperly backdated options?"
