I can understannd that autoit and perl could be abused to ran malware, but what was that about anything from Apple? Did they just mean applescript and things like it or apple Software/Hardware?

What’s the KEYBOARD SHORTCUT for Delete?! Look in a contextual menu, fool!

"right-clicking on things and hoping for the best, like some fucked-up business edition of Riven."

Russia: SEXY LIZARDS which landed FROM SPACE are all DEAD

Who done it?

Who killed the geckos?

Did some earth bound lizard kill the space lizards on arrival?

Or are the real overlords the fruit flies, who had to dispose of the llizards because they found out ...

Apple: No, China. iPhone is NOT public enemy number 1

Re: FUD

Exactly what I thought when I read the article.

I was highly surprised to see this text, without any real arguments, in theregister.

Re: Place your bets

The odds are way to good for cuba.

Where may I place my bet?

most likly countries

Most likly countries would be some which have a limited infrastructure and which are high on the list of evil countries. Therefore China and UK would be ruled out. How about North Korea, Somalia or Ecuador?

Oh, shoppin’ HELL: I’m in the supermarket of the DAMNED

Where do you shop?

Seriously, I would stay out of that shop if they do not bother to implement a proper fast checkout.

The normal checkout is probably not much better and a real torture for the employees.

At IKEA I prefer that Fast Self Checkout because it enables me to get in and out (with furniture!) in less than 10 Minutes. ... And nobody has time to stare at me or to look what I have bought.

Accept the truth.
