- Then don't fly...again, why is that so hard for a small minority to understand. The airlines are not going to set THEIR security on your terms, either you follow THEIR security procedures or don't fly.

- And if this “winning” coach is strip-searching his own players or fondling them? The fear of terrorist attacks on planes has always been grossly overblown; you’re far more likely to die on the taxi ride to the airport than you are on a plane.

- But it is significantly easier to forge an electronic signature than a wet one. Nobody even reads signatures. It doesn’t matter what someone scribbles down in ink. Not even a third of all households have computers, much less internet access. Source?

Microsoft's PC vs Mac Site

Seeded on Mon Aug 9, 2010 9:11 PM EDT ()

Microsoft has gone on the extreme defensive with a microsite devoted solely to convincing people not to switch to the Mac. It's a large collection of Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt, and a few legitimate points.

Is Apple plotting a search of its own?

Seeded on Tue Aug 4, 2009 10:43 AM EDT (The Register (UK))

Techcrunch reported lots of rumours about an Apple Search engine in November last year but they died down as nothing emerged to substantiate the idea. The idea gets its latest traction because Apple has recently ejected Google CEO Eric Schmidt from its board.

Apple extends contract with AT&T, forgets about you

Seeded on Fri Aug 1, 2008 8:55 PM EDT (CNET.com)

Undoubtedly some will say that AT&T may have made the best deal in quite some time and I tend to agree. But still others will say that Apple did the right thing in taking the money and although it's forced to sign up for another year with AT&T, it's still the right move.
