   Wish it had a Linux version!

2. Comment - Mac users flaming over FireWire; Jobs shrugs

   Hmmm, the USB standard was basically authored by Intel and a few others if I remember correctly. Now that Apple is in bed with Intel, so to speak, I wonder if that has something to do with the sudden about face with Firewire. Intel has been wanting Firewire to go away for years.

   There must be either a lot of alcohol or drugs in use, or total brain death, for anyone not to see those ads and be totally unaware it is going on.... I think facts are being stretched or manipulated here so the NAB can yet again to try and delay the inevitable. I trust Nielsen as much as I trust politicians. Look at the TV ratings they post.

   Religion is a private matter and should be kept private to those who believe in it. Once your expression of religion is made public it is then an invasion of my privacy if I don't want to hear or see your expression of belief and will be responded to accordingly. Separation of church and state was done for this reason. Last I heard the DMV is run by the states so it should not consider any religious beliefs for exclusionary purposes as is outlined in most state constitutions. As a matter of fact this extends beyond just the DMV but to all those applying for any exclusions from state laws based on religious beliefs. By allowing the exclusion in this case lawmakers have violated their own state constitution.

5. Comment - IBM software sales help spur 'powerful' $26.8 B quarter

   Your insults are unimportant. I am a current IBMer in the US and have been for over 15 years. You are a "former IBMer"?. Get "downsized"? Most likely you were in management by your attitude. Typically they will never acknowledge how NAFTA and IBM globalization have hurt the IBM workforce in the US. Current management use job loss threats, constantly preaching the manufacturing philosophy of LEAN and how it will "save" the company. Save it from what we are still trying to figure out as every year record profits keep churning out and more layoffs loom. Raises have not come for most of us in over 5 years because they use a pay system based on market place averages where if your position is a certain percentage over a midpoint in your band you don't get a raise no matter your performance or productivity. So no adjustments for inflation over the past 5 years means we are at least 10% below where we should be. I am not anti-corporation at all, I just don't like IBM practices towards it's employees, the folks who help them get those record profits every quarter. If you read the international news you see IBM employees are organizing despite IBM efforts to stop it. They also are tired of what IBM does to them. So I am not living a fantasy you are living in a rose-colored bubble turning a blind eye.

   And in 9 years how many jobs have gone international? How many US folks have been humiliated by folks like you who think it is alright for a company to brutalize it's employees systematically all the while claiming record profits and millions for it's executives. My opinion does not ignore sales. Sales are fine and yes most sales are international but the services folks holding down the fort here in the US, the one's who keep the contracts renewing, they are the one's who need recognitiion. They are the one's who are ignored and rarely compensated commensurately for the hard work they always do.
