Attack of the ultra-nerd ...

Surely they're saving the Vulcan moniker for a planet orbiting 40 Eridani A when they find one?

I'll get my coat ...

Are you certain?

Apple asked me for my BANK statements, says outraged reader

WTF?

You know you don't have to buy Apple products from the Apple store? You can buy them through Amazon and all sorts of other outlets, ones who don't demand DNA tests before handing over your goods.

Paris Hilton

Huh?

So to save money they spent money on re-branding the channel?

Is it just me or would it have been more cost effective not to re-brand and to keep using the existing idents for another year or so?

It already exists

The MediSlat MCA i1040XT already meets almost all of these needs and has network security at an acceptable level as it runs Windows XP Pro or Vista Business editions. It even allows for hot swapping batteries.
