The company doesn't pitch it as a "light saber". Reviews of the product compare it to a light saber, but it is not marketed by the company as one. Lucas is complaining because the laser has a hilt like a sword or a light light saber. His argument is fairly weak IMO.

Arlen Specter lost in Pa, Bob Inglis lost in SC, and congressmen in Al and WV lost. Here in Utah our incumbent Senator Bob Bennet didn't even make it to the primaries. While I agree the anti-incumbent wave may not be a strong as the media makes it out to be, you are definitely inaccurate in your statement that only one incumbent lost election in the primaries.

Comment Re:The data is for fatalities, not accidents. (Score 1) 776

That would make sense if the fatalities are only the driver, however, if you looked at the data, it includes fatalities of passengers, pedestrians and other drivers. Some of the older drivers survived, but killed other people. Even accounting for age, the ratio of the driver dying and the driver surviving is pretty even.

Companies like HP and ASUS are hardware companies. They think of hardware solutions to problems. Apple straddles the world of software and hardware and think differently (so to speak). Hardware only companies work at a competitive disadvantage when trying develop integrated solutions. They can do it, but it does not play to their strengths.

Actually, I think this suit had to do more with control than artistic integrity. EMI has not treated its artists very well, which is why many have jumped ship (such as REM, Radiohead, The Rolling Stones, et al). This is probably a way for Pink Floyd to stick it to the label. PF has never been overly label friendly anyway.

If this was about artistic integrity only, this suit would have been filed long ago. Singles are not just a 21st century invention. Pink Floyd have had many songs released as singles over the years. I have owned a few 45rmp by singles by Pink Floyd in my day. They have also made several compilation albums over the years with songs from their albums as a way of fulfilling contractual obligations. So this suit was clearly not just about artistic integrity.

It's a naive, domestic operating system without any breeding, but I think you'll be amused by its presumption.
