  2. Yes, we all know Google is not evil and altering web search would be a dumb thing to do. But they are slowly creeping into everything we do.

    You pretty much can't go anywhere on the web today without being touched by Google. They know every search you do, they have adds on many websites, they can do Desktop search, they show us how to drive somewhere, They host our videos, images, e-mails, calendars, documents, in seconds find every post you ever made online, they will even be the first page you will see when you open your browser and if you want they will change your toolbar to assimilate your browser. And now with Double Click they have tracking cookies on well over half the computers in the world.

  3. Is anyone worried about google having all your personal info, they now officially own Double Click. If you think about it they now have access to all your e-mails, your calendar dates, your documents, every search you did and just about everything you buy online. Now being able to set one double click tracking cookie they could shape future searches to weight advertisers.

  4. I think there is a large percent of Linux users use it as a hobby. Playing with the system, modifying things, making things work better then the last guy could. I think they find a problem as a challenge and want to make it work part for satisfaction and part to show off for people who care. I think free is a reason but for a very small percent many Linux users have some pretty powerful systems and could afford Windows and Mac.

    Many Windows users are gamers and spend most of there time playing games for basically the same reason to do better than there peers and show off there skills. Some like to make them awful power point presentations that we all have to sit through. Some want to just surf and IM and don't even know what linux is or care.

    I personally use my computer to do home recording and photography and a good deal of time wasting.

  5. Honda Boy, about 15 years ago I owned a Pontiac Fiero GT with the V6. The thing had some good traction in snow with the engine in the rear but would not steer, I use to turn the wheel and pray.

    39 degrees and raining.

  6. So how manywacky PhotoBooth pictures does she have already. :)

    Did she get use to the multi touch track pad yet? When I use other laptops now I find myself trying to scroll with two fingers and right click by two fingers on the pad and clicking. Cool trick go to google maps and do the iphone pinch to resize maps, don't know why it works.

  7. Apple uses Hitachi, Seagate and Toshiba drives all off the shelf drives nothing special. The mac genius is probably just going to change out the drive and install the os and keep your old drive.

    My macbook came with a 160 gig drive I just ordered a 320 gig drive to replace it. The macbook drive is user replaceable doing so will not void the warrantee. Also there is a app called super duper that you can use to clone your drive and make it bootable.

    There are apps to control the fan many people use them to make the fan run all the time at slow speed so it is less likely to come on full when the cpu is pushed.
