White House Ditches YouTube 204

An anonymous reader writes to tell us that in an apparent response to privacy complaints, the White House has quietly moved off of YouTube as a method for serving the President's weekly video address. Choosing instead to use a Flash-based solution and Akamai's content delivery network, this comes just days after YouTube began to roll out their own new policies regarding privacy of visitors.

well, i bought the AppleCare package for my Powerbook (pismo), and it's long since paid for itself. I've had about $1500 worth of "out of warranty" repairs (new screen (about $700) and new CPU module (about $800)) that were covered by AppleCare, so I'd have to say that it's worth it. Laptops can get pretty beat up being carried around so better safe than sorry, IMO.
