Comment Let me ask the most obvious question... (Score 1) 993

Why did you settle for the "Angelic White" model and not the "Empire Black?"

I am not going into the usual ad hominem attacks other slashdotters have resorted to regarding insecurities and compensations but why is white not a manly color to you. A lot of geeks these days are toting white Macbooks (if they haven't replaced it yet with the new generation) and I don't see them insecure about the color.

The only reason why I have the black version of the MSI Wind is that white is a tough color to keep clean, especially with my hyperhidrosis, but other than that I do not have problems with it.

Lessig's "In Defense of Piracy" 218

chromakey writes "The Wall Street Journal is running an essay from Lawrence Lessig about the fair use of copyrighted material on the Internet. He makes the case that companies who go to extreme lengths to squash minor videos, such as Universal, are stifling creativity in the modern era. Lessig makes specific reference to a YouTube video that was hit by a DMCA takedown notice, in which a 13-month-old child is dancing to a nearly inaudible soundtrack of Prince's 'Let's Go Crazy.' Lawrence Lessig is a board member for the Electronic Frontier Foundation."

Top Apple Rumors, Bricks, Low Price, NVIDIA 283

Vigile writes "With the news that Apple will be releasing new MacBook products on October 14th, speculation has begun on what exactly those new products will be. Tips of a manufacturing process involving lasers and a single 'brick' of aluminum are catching on, as is the idea of a sub-$1000 netbook-type device. More interesting might be the persistent rumors of an NVIDIA chipset adoption that would drastically increase gaming ability, allow MacBooks to improve their support for OpenCL and take advantage of the new Adobe CS4 software with GPU acceleration. Will NVIDIA's ailing chipset business get a shot in the arm next week?"
