I don't what is creepier. The singing robot, or that it has telekinesis and can play piano while it sings.

I was one of the boneheads that waited in line all night in Dallas when they came out and I was 48/50. I have used mine almost daily since I bought it and have never had a single problem with it, although now that I have said that I have probably doomed it to die within a week.

It resembles OSX because it is the basis of OSX. I set up the first NeXT lab at Texas A & M in 1991. I think my favorite part of it was the portable profiles. When you shut down a session you took your existence with you on portable personal media.

John B, in the IT world the presence of a firewall is not in the least bit synonymous with hack-proof. If there is no need at all for the customer network to communication with the plane's operations network, why in the world would anyone want to trust an application (firewall) sitting on an operating system, sitting on some piece of hardware to protect one network from another when packets have a phenominally hard time aerisolizing and jumping from one network to another? TRUE AIR GAP!

this is fundamentally wrong. Biometrics should be used to verify identity, not establish it in the absence of other controls. If it is based on an imaging system it can be bypassed and unless this follows the mantra of all other "high tech" security controls, future revisions of it will be backwards compatible and will unavoidably inherit the flaws of their predecessors.

I saw it this afternoon. The xbox360 got a jolt from the all-spark and came out of the box and attacked the owner who had just purchased it. It was hillarious.

Etch-A-Sketch FTW!

This is crappy nonsense. I do not need the government to protect me from configuration changes to displayed information. Isn't the purpose of government to provide the services, we as individuals are incapable of providing for ourselves? national defense, incoming asteroids, spam, caller id spoofing. I rather they protect me from documentary spoofing. If Michael Moore can take quotes out of context under the guise of free speech, I should be able to rearrange letters on caller id in the same spirit.

If man can make it, man can fake it. The more complicated the lock, the easier to break it, as it will inheritently be dependent on some small simple process. What a waste of time and money.
