"We (Jona Bechtolt and Claire L. Evans) excitedly came up with the AirMail idea minutes after we watched Steve Jobs' keynote at Macworld."

Well, I've been putting my old iBook in an envelope since October 2006

You think Steve reads my blog???

(I'm not being serious here, really not ^_^)

The truly paranoid already store everything encrypted on their drives. So after a drive fails or whatever, there's no need to do stuff like this... ;-)

Dutch gadgetblog Bright already had a hands-on with this camera in one of their unboxing parties.

There it's called the '880' with YouTube functionality, but my guess is, these are the same camera's. I mean, how many 8.1MP Exilim YouTube shooters will there be?

>I've realized that you are a complete idiot!

Hahaha, well, ever since I bought a Vista license I indeed feel that way! ;-)

>Vista Home versions didn't OEM until mid-Jan... most of first months' sales are upgrades

...to OEM-versions, thank you very much.

>Vista is by any sane measure a success in terms of sales, not a failure.

By any sane measure for shareholders you mean. For them it's a success. For an average end user it's a total failure.

Why should anyone, businesses included, upgrade to Vista again? To get what exactly?

>So sorry - this isn't a case of a failure

Imho, as a product it is.

>still $3bn richer

Making money doesn't necessarily say you're on the right path. Ask a drug pusher.

yes, totally true, but it will also be used as an argument to get the Vista-license (in a short while you probably aren't able to get a XP-license anymore), because you can still downgrade it to the OS you actually want.

My point is, are the sales figures of Vista reflecting the enthusiasm of the market? If you ask me, not one bit.

...or you could've gotten yourself one linux system-administrator... For 250K a year you can get quite a good one too! ^_^
