The Korova milkbar sold milk-plus, milk plus vellocet or synthemesc or drencrom, which is what we were drinking. This would sharpen you up and make you ready for a bit of the old ultra-violence.

Maybe, I'm not sure. I know there's plenty of ignorant pricks to take his place, but Bob was so good at it. I think I'm going to miss him.

I get most of what h.265 promises already out of x.264. Nicely integrated into Compressor and MPEG Streamclip. It's the standard for YouTube, facebook and Vimeo.

Mystery malware wreaks havoc on energy sector computers
http://arstechnica.com/security/2012...alware-attack/The computer worm, alternately dubbed Shamoon or Disttrack by researchers at rival antivirus providers Symantec and McAfee, contains the string "wiper" in the Windows file directory its developers used while compiling it. Combined with word that it targeted the energy industry, that revelation immediately evoked memories of malware also known as Wiper that reportedly attacked Iran's oil ministry in April and ultimately led to the discovery of the state-sponsored Flame malware.

Apple is now a more valuable company than Microsoft ever was (623 vs. MS's maxing out at 620 billion in 1999)...
Yeah, there's been some inflation since 1999, so we'll probably have to wait a few weeks for Apple to catch up to the inflation-adjusted figure...
Meanwhile HP is going down the shitter:
HP to absorb record quarterly loss of nearly $9B
"Hewlett-Packard Co. on Wednesday said that it will take a massive charge against its earnings for the latest quarter, leading to a record loss of nearly $9 billion."

Microsoft once ruled the world. So what went wrong?
"Microsoft is suffering a slow death by committee as bureaucracy stifles the company's core creativity"
"Apple's iPhone now brings in more revenue than all of Microsoft's products. In the quarter ended 31 March 2012, the iPhone had sales of $22.7bn. In the same period, Microsoft earned $17.4bn from everything it sold. So a single Apple product, which didn't exist five years ago, had higher sales than everything Microsoft has to offer."

US seizes Android app piracy sites in copyright crackdown

The amazing thing is that even $1 apps are pirated. There goes the pirates' "if legit software were cheaper, then..." argument.
"It is dark the other side. Very dark!" - "Oh, shut up and eat your toast!"
Huh. Did you see this in your article?
"Jack Palevich reported that his firm had experienced a higher piracy rate on Apple's iOS platform due to users "jailbreaking" their phones. The technique allows them to bypass the iPhone maker's efforts to restrict them to programs offered in its store."
Yes, but wouldn't that be an argument FOR the AppStore? As protection for developer AND consumer (malware thread from tampering with apps)?
"It is dark the other side. Very dark!" - "Oh, shut up and eat your toast!"
Exactly, CG.
VF: Yes, I saw it for sure, but won't capitalize on it, since it's not universal - note:
Jack Palevich reported that his firm* had experienced a higher piracy rate on Apple's iOS platform due to users "jailbreaking" their phones.
* That would of course be the case if he mainly makes apps for the iOS... (admittedly, I don't know - do you?)
I wonder what percentage of iPhones actually are jailbreaked? Anyone got a reliable number?

Not necessarily. The app store is open to a whole host of other issues.... credit card fraud... hacking... etc.
Apple has also demonstrated that it is quite open to the idea of collecting/selling personal information. (Interestingly enough, I have NEVER had "apple" junk mail before... until I got the iphone a week or 2 ago.... strange coincidence!)
Get the Samsung and forget the iphone!
I thought you weren't coming back here, Bob?

I think someone has explained you already that this mail did NOT come from Apple. In the nearly ten years I use Apple products, I have yet to get mail from them I didn't ask for.
I'd rather check one of your Windows machines for some bad software.

There goes your reading problem again. READ MY WORDS WITHOUT CONVERTING THEM TO YOURS.
Now answer the question or this is the last I will write on the issue at hand.

Absolutely. What has not been explained however is how the mailer got the information to be able to contact me.
The same can be said for me... only the other way around. In the 15+ years of operating Windows... I have NEVER gotten ANYTHING "apple"... until of course I became an iphone owner. Once again... strange coincidence.In the nearly ten years I use Apple products, I have yet to get mail from them I didn't ask for.

I've never got an Apple mail, either - of any kind, and I've owned and used Macs since 1986...
But let's reverse the situation:
I've never owned a PC - but can you guess the number of spam mails I've got that in some way have to do with M$ Windows stuff?
