Comment 2010 = 1984 for Apple (Score 1) 381

Today, we celebrate the first glorious anniversary of the Information Purification Directives. We have created for the first time in all history, a garden of pure ideology. Where each worker may bloom secure from the pests of contradictory and confusing truths. Our Unification of Thoughts is more powerful a weapon than any fleet or army on earth. We are one people, with one will, one resolve, one cause. Our enemies shall talk themselves to death and we will bury them with their own confusion. We shall prevail!

On January 24th, Apple Computer will introduce Macintosh. And you'll see why 1984 won't be like 1984.

Because Apple will wait till 2010.

Telescreens are most prominently featured in George Orwell's novel Nineteen Eighty-Four... They are television and security camera-like devices used by the ruling Party in Oceania to keep its subjects under constant surveillance, thus eliminating the chance of secret conspiracies against Oceania.

Replace Telescreens with "iPhone", ruling Party with "Apple", and Oceania with "AT&T". Irony at it's best.

This is old news to me. I have been using PayPal's virtual debt card for at least a year or two to pay for many of my online services that require a credit card. The system was pretty simple: you went to PayPal's website and typed in the URL of the store or service you wanted and then you would be redirected to the site along with a pop-up window of your virtual debt card information to use. I used it a number of times and then it disappeared off PayPal's website, but the card number generated for my account kept working and so I kept using it. What was strange was I never received a CCV code and I would just enter anything like 000 or something random when it was required.
