I see what you've done there. You've taken the word "consumer" and inserted the word "sheep", inventing your own brand new word "consheepmer", in order to suggest that most people who buy things make their decisions based on the decisions of others, rather than carrying out their own in-depth research into all the options available. Well done, you should be proud of yourself.

Almost all of their potential customer base weren't even aware beforehand that there was an Apple product announcement due today. Of those that were, only a tiny fraction would have wanted to watch it live. No-one's hearing this 'message' you've invented. I believe they are planning to market this product via means other than just the keynote.

It sucks, but not for the reasons you give.

RSS piped through Google Reader onto the 'Reeder' app is a very nice reading experience. It's a PITA that I now have to View Source, CTRL+F, "rss" on sites that don't explicitly advertise their own feed, but that's the browser manufacturers' fault for removing the native RSS functionality - why they all chose to do that, I'm still trying to fathom.

Ok, I read the entry and it looks like someone is installing Telnetd and it's doing what it is supposed to do. This is a "rooting" just like turning on terminal services on Windows allows remote access.

Little silly to setup with root access but this is not a flaw as such, just telnetd running as root without login.

What so cool about this. Any good Unix book on telnet would tell you the same thing?.
