At some point isn't it easier to just buy the software?

It is a ridiculous idea that will never work. But, it might be fun to use just to piss off Facebook.

Many generations of our elders had no Internet, TV or radio. Consequently, they spent a lot of time socializing and discovering delicious liquor combinations. No reason we can't leverage some of that good info.

So turning a software free market into another Apple walled garden is an advantage? Maybe they should call it "Apple Genuine Advantage."

Shit, I just found it. How'd we miss this before?

        if (Password == "JOSHUA")
        {
                printf("Greetings Professor Falken");
                godmode = true;
                return;
            }

Whatever, so long as it brings back the TURBO button I'm buying one!

You don't really need a weapon at all. Just turn on any electrical device that gives off an RF signal while the plane ascends. Then watch that fucker go up in a firey fireball of death!

The Google business-class apps are encrypted, private and sync with Android out of the box. And the best part - since Google says you can trust them, it means you have nothing to fear! Of course, you would have to stop using your desktops and switch to Google Apps for your calendaring and email.

Since we know that gravity = acceleration, we should make the phone work only in zero gravity. Problem solved. NEXT!

If you don't know any details it's OK to say nothing.

Looks like somebody got their PR spin piece relayed as a news story again. Bravo!

You can remove the DRM from EPUB, PDF and PRC (Amazon's flavor of Mobi DRM), but it's not easy enough for the general public to do. Google Mobidedrm and ineptpdf.pyw.

I do this for everything I've bought on my Kindle just on principal. Kindle doesn't support ePub, most likely so they can lock you into their evil monopoly plans. If I had it to do over again I'd get a device that supports ePub, just to avoid the hassle. In this case I don't mind the DRM too much.

I think the prophet Jeff Spicoli said it best when he decreed, ""All I need are some tasty waves, a cool buzz, an' I'm fine."

He could have used the money to buy a Macbook Pro. If you max out the specs they come out pretty close to $150k.

It's the Internet in microcosm. Engineers first used the Internet to pass technical information. Noise was kept to a minimum so work could get done. Then the engineers were surprised to find that the general public had an intense interest in fluff and chatter.

So it's the same thing with Twitter. We mostly ignore it, unless we're using it for geek thing we find important.
