@pmbaustin: I actually owned and ran Windows 1.0... for about a day.

@Googlo The Otaku Ninja: More-illustrative images for contrasting Apple/Xerox with Windows 1.0 would show some overlapping windows.

Apple owned overlapping windows IP. Microsoft was afraid to implement them in their Windows product (until version 2.0), for fear of being sued. Carnegie Mellon wasn't selling a product, so just like anyone, they could play around with overlapping windows to their heart's content.

@asus389: Lead-shielded airplanes makes a lot of sense.

Unlike the iPhone's native tethering feature, which allows just one tethered device at a time, the BC2 allows simultaneous tethering of multiple devices, but it still requires activation of the iPhone's tethering option (at $10 extra cost per month) which requires an AT&T metered data plan (e.g., $25 per 2 GB). If you…

@Agrippa: Ben Gurion actually has some pretty bad ass security procedures. Do people remark about it? Yeah, sure, but they put up with it... or else.

@supergeek1694: Have you only read the 7-month-old letter?

we know the TSA's been unpopular lately

After misinterpreting a scientific article and opting out of the scanners, the travelers proceeded merrily on their way and nonchalantly received far more radiation during the flight than they just avoided.

With a name like Sharp Lynx SH-03C with Android 2.1, it's sure to be a hit.

@Master_Soda: "What makes you think they didn't ignore him like the first time?"

@emy1: You can keep on dancing, but your point of view has no bearing on the veracity of the claims.

@Ventus: Yes, a responsible business would follow up, and that goes for CD Baby, too. If CD Baby followed up, then it doesn't make sense for snapper.fishes to suggest someone might have left the contract "lying at the bottom of a drawer". That hypothesis only makes sense if CD Baby didn't follow up. Which suggests CD…

@emy1: Oh, how dense of me. Of course the facts of the matter shouldn't be questioned, because the author surely researched the situation thoroughly. In other news, melamine dog food is actually good for your pet and all those bodies you saw on display at the local museum are of happy donors.

@snapper.fishes: That sounds only slightly plausible. If you never followed up with Apple, I could believe the contract was lost and Apple employees thought you'd never signed it, while they noticed you had provided everything to Rhapsody et al. Jobs tried to make the most of the situation. Only after the keynote,…

@emy1: Says Hu?

@John Crane: Actually, the buildings often have many stories. Yes, these devices detect runners in passing. Many bank accounts yield zero interest these days. So what's your point?

@tomsomething: A nod's as good as a wink to a blind man!
