    Will you stop sharing as a result of RIAA act?

    I have never shared with others but I have downloaded. I never felt good about it and about the time when iTMS came out, I stopped. I sort of liked being able to preview songs, but since Kazaa doesn't come with genre listings, it really ended up being a huge waste of time! iTMS works for me...

    Funny flash site about Italy and the EU

    Nope, sorry, I wish I had because it was pretty funny. It sure didn't last very long..

    802.11g standards

    Yep, Apple pushed it out the door ahead of time, confident that it would be the accepted standard. They were right!

    Herve's Bar & Grill

    I would have a lot more respect for Rowling if she had donated some of that money to some kind of literacy program. The books are excellent, there is no doubt that they deserve every ounce of praise they get but it has gone too far and she's rich enough. Now that I'm on my soapbox, why don't...

    Funny flash site about Italy and the EU

    yeah, i liked the coffee part too, the traffic part is totally unrealistic though, at least from my experiences in Europe.

    Funny flash site about Italy and the EU

    Flash Site A rather humorous if somewhat stereotypical look at Italy and the EU. Maybe Giaguara or some of the other Italians can give us some feed back

    No iTunes Europe until 2004

    Independent article It looks like the European music industry is sort of messy, different licensing laws for each country.... Maybe this will help them get it together a little faster.

    Herve's Bar & Grill

    I don't know if it's a good move or a bad move yet, but a nice glass of cider would be ok about now! The G4 would make a good entry level machine.....

    iChatAV -- Cool, but useless

    Exactly, USB just doesn't cut it, Apple isn't known for releasing half-assed solutions and that is why it is firewire only. Everybody is (complaining) about iChat and it's only been out a few hours. (edited)! There are other apps that do this, but do any of them do it as well as Apple...

    iTunes Music Store in Europe in October

    ? At this point it looks like it will be the same as in the US, all online. It will be very interesting to see how they deal with the differing VAT rates as well as the licensing issues. I've heard rumors that Apple plans on opening stores in Europe in '04 and there have been rumors...

    Lost connection - Ethernet and cable modem

    I put mine to sleep every night and am running 10.2.6 on an iMac DV 400. The connection always cuts, I have DSL and then in the morning when I wake it up, if I want to read my email immediately I just go into the menu bar and click on the little <-> symbol and hit connect. If I wait awhile...

    iTunes Music Store in Europe in October

    http://mactechnews.de/ The article is in German but essentially states that they have learned from an EMI exec in Switzerland that Apple is planning on a Europe wide opening of the iTunes Music Store in October and that it will be probably launched at the same time the Windows version is. A...

    Don't Install Safari v80 Update!

    I made the big mistake of downloading an earlier unauthorized release and it fried Safari beyond belief. I had to totally delete all Safari files from my computer and then download a new copy. Never again!!!! I had to redo all my bookmarks and lost a few of the more obscure ones. If Apple...

    Osama, Saddam, WMD's and the 2004 election

    Gore has a brain, Bush has personality combined, maybe we would have had a decent president. 9-11 transformed Bush, who knows how it would have affected Gore.

    Osama, Saddam, WMD's and the 2004 election

    That is a very good point, and the people we owe money to are not Americans. The US has to borrow $1.5 billion every single day to pay for imports. That may not be significant in the larger scheme of things but it does mean that the US will only continue to invest here if their investment will...

    Osama, Saddam, WMD's and the 2004 election

    Why do the top 50% pay 96.05% of taxes? Jobs shipped overseas, minimum wage that equals slave labor, too many service jobs with no future, no insurance coverage with many jobs available, these are some of the reasons. The tax cuts would reach everyone if wages were more reasonable. CEO...

    Internet Taxing

    I like the idea of internet purchases being tax free and often will buy over the internet because without the tax it is slightly cheaper. However, sales taxes are one of the primary ways that cities and states earn revenue. It has created an unfair advantage for internet retailers at the...

    I violated the embargo for pure pleasure

    It never ceases to amaze me that gw took out all his wrath on Germany, Russia, and France when our two closest neighbors stood up and said absolutely not. It really points to the fact that close economic ties make it virtually impossible to censor those who disagree with you. The US press has...
