Ferrari FF revealed (http://www.autocar.co.uk/News/NewsArticle/AllCars/254990/)
honestly the thing is looking like one of the weirdest frankstein cars ever made:
the shape of the old BMW M Coupe (which i madly liked)
the front looking botched together from a porsche, peugeot 407 and a nissan GT (which i all liked)
the back like a honda having mated with a BMW Z4
then 4 seats _and_ all wheel drive ?
looks like Ferrari desperatly needed their own Panamera ... now jsut wait untill ferrari releases a SUV

The biggest problem I see with SS is that it's an unsustainable Ponzi Scheme which requires constant growth in population in order to sustain costs incurred by smaller and smaller groups of people.
This is why you are wrong:
Nonetheless, some critics are attempting to undermine confidence in Social Security with wild and blatantly false accusations. They allege that the trust funds have been �raided� or disparage the trust funds as �funny money� or mere �IOUs.� Some even label Social Security a �Ponzi scheme� after the notorious 1920s swindler Charles Ponzi. All of these claims are nonsense.
Every year since 1984, Social Security has collected more in payroll taxes and other income than it pays in benefits and other expenses. (The authors of the 1983 Social Security reform law did this on purpose in order to help pre-fund some of the costs of the baby boomers� retirement.) These surpluses are invested in U.S. Treasury securities that are every bit as sound as the U.S. government securities held by investors around the globe; investors regard these securities as among the world�s very safest investments.
Investing the trust funds in Treasury securities is perfectly appropriate. The federal government borrows funds from Social Security to help finance its ongoing operations in the same way that consumers and businesses borrow money deposited in a bank to finance their spending. In neither case does this represent a �raid� on the funds. The bank depositor will get his or her money back when needed, and so will the Social Security trust funds.
As far back as 1938, independent advisors to Social Security firmly endorsed the investment of Social Security surpluses in Treasury securities, saying that it does �not involve any misuse of these moneys or endanger the safety of these funds.�
Moreover, Social Security is the �polar opposite of a Ponzi scheme,� says the man who quite literally wrote the book about Ponzi�s famous scam, Boston University professor Mitchell Zuckoff. The Social Security Administration�s historian has a piece on this topic as well.
Unlike the frauds of Ponzi � and, more recently, Bernard Madoff � Social Security does not promise unrealistically large financial returns and does not require unsustainable increases in the number of participants to remain solvent. Instead, for the past 75 years it has provided a foundation that workers can build on for retirement as well as social insurance protection to families whose breadwinner dies and workers who become disabled.

My advice as a designer - CUT & RUN!
There will be other clients to replace this a-hole.
Hi. Thanks for the support. The only good thing about the whole experience is that it's served as kind of a wake up call for me, regarding how I want to handle pricing and clients in the future. :)

Yeah, with this previewing four months ahead of Macworld, I'd say we're headed for a major upgrade of .Mac with even tighter integration to Mail, iCal and iLife.
I still hope Mail and iCal will be collapsed into one app in Leopard.
Heh, and don't foget the iPhone is slated to debut in early 2007. Though I don't expect it to be available in January, I'll bet they will at least preview it. So I think the iPhone and .Mac upgrade will go hand in hand. So besides the phone synching with the improved online Mail, Address Book, and iCal, expect these features:
1) Ability to make blog postings from phone
2) Ability to view online photo albums/slide shows from phone
3) Ability to *post* online photo albums from phone
Although these are available from other phones and websites, I think Apple's edge will be in marketing its ease-of-use to the consumer
And hey, I just thought of something...
What if Apple not only expands the storage space for mail and files, but *greatly* expands it (maybe for an additional fee) with the intent of having people host multimedia files (music, photos, even videos) on their .Mac account. So the idea is that the iPhone will be 4GB but maybe your music collection is 20 GB. Well, you can upload the files to .Mac, and .Mac will then have the ability to stream any song in your music collection to your phone (or to another computer). Sure, there are already web-based services out there that already allow you to view and stream content from your own computer, but:
1) hosting content on your own machine may be in violation of your broadband provider's terms of service
2) your machine would have to constantly be on
3) your machine would not have as fat a pipe to the internet as if you hosted it on something like .Mac (or at least in theory it would be more constrained)
So having .Mac host streaming multimedia would be so great! Not only would your precious music/multimedia files be automatically backed up, but they would be available to you from the iPhone or from any computer. If Apple doesn't do this, some 3rd party provider eventually will.

I am all against this nostalgia gaming. U have so many great games available on the ipad or iphone that utilise their potencial, why would u wanr to play games that have 12 pixels running around? I think it has more to do with people remembering the "good old times" when they havent had all that depression, fear and insecurity going on.
I played Atari up through super nintendo. I stopped at that point partly due to the games appearing to play themselves. If you ask young people to go back and try to play Zelda or link from beginning to end, you often hear "its too hard". The point of the old games was to be challenging; not to be a movie disguised as a game.
I'll admit that recently when I played an older game I was disappointed but then I realized I was doing something wrong. I was hitting the continue button. The older games are better if you challenge yourself to score as high as possible on one credit or compete with a second person on one credit.
You know the new games would be more interesting if played like that too. These first person shooter games are ridiculous because you keep getting back up after dying. The thing is that it doesn't seem as boring to play like that because the scenery of the game keeps changing. But try having two people play as far as possible with one life or three if that is standard and go as far as possible on that. I bet it is a better game if you play with the rul that you start over when you die in the game.

Here is my situation:
- Disabled WYSIWYG fonts
- Disabled Spelling and Grammer Check
- Typing in a single page
CPU starts from 30% and stabilises around 90%. This only happens when there are equations on the page, but I'm not typing in the equations - just typing beneath them. The typing is slow and can't keep up with me. Has anyone else found this? Also, I have Word 14.1, Latest so far.

I upgraded my 2011 Macbook Pro memory to 8gb and have 2x2GB available. Can I use these in my new 2011 IMac 21.5 in addition to the 4GB that is in their already? The specs I find look the same/similar. This would give me 8GB (4x2 pairs).
Thanks

What, did Apple think that Verizon customers would warmly welcome someone who shunned them for 4 years? The customer is most important, shouldn'thave signed that exclusive contract with AT&T... relly stunted their growth in the CDMA market, people move on too...
But real Apple people don't move on. They wait. They aren't normal consumers.

Guys.
by seeing the results of the poll, we can see that majority of voters won't buy the new iPhone 4 in white. It is based on around 3200 votes.
I am not an expert analyst or anything like that, but let me say this now, when the white iPhone 4 launches on April 27th, it is going to be chaos and out of stock because there are TONS of demands of this phone I dont know why. Same thing goes with the iPad 1 and the white iPad 2, people are saying that iPad 1 was just a bigger iPod touch, and the white iPad 2 was ugly and terrible-looking. But see now, TONS of people decided to choose white iPad 2 instead of the black one.
Typical Apple fan. They vote no, and when they finally see in person, they can't resist to buy one even if they have a black iPhone 4.
For me personally, I have the original iPhone 4 in black that I bought back in June last year and I am looking to upgrade to the white iPhone 4 and sell the black one.
Just an opinion though

:eek: you've got to be joking right now. it's not supposed to be cushy, it's supposed to be horrible ...
I thought we'd left the idea of horrible back in the dark ages. :rolleyes:
At least some of us have.
I saw the Swedish "Millennium series" films a few months back a couldn't help notice that when the protagonist was (wrongly) sent to prison, it looked more like a college dormitory than anything you'll see here in America.
likemyorbs would be horrified to see prisoners treated so humanely.

meh, my first HD was 52MB that .052GB or .000052TB or .000000052PB :D
Mine was 10MB ... and people told me I was wasting money since a second floppy drive (5 1/4) would be more than enough (one to boot the OS, one for the data).
