Why Apple Should Buy Dell
Why Apple Should Buy Dell:
After beginning with this non-starter the author, Frank Fox, goes onto suggest several reasons why this would be a good idea and what Apple could possibly do with the Dell brand (the best of which is to make Dell a "Linksys" like low end brand to Apple's high end "Cisco" brand). He does, however, miss the most obvious idea. An idea floated by Michael Dell himself in an inverse way.
Apple should buy Dell and then what?
"Shut it down and give the money back to the shareholders."
Almost everyone knows that Apple is sitting on a huge pile of cash, around $24.5 billion. That might be enough to fill one of Scrooge McDuck's cash vaults, but there have to be some other interesting things to do with that much money.
While feeling depressed about how low the value of Apple stock has fallen recently (below $90 per share), I checked out some other companies that are falling due to the same economic worries. There I saw the perfect company that is finally cheap enough that Apple can buy the whole thing: Dell.

On Vista
Once you get past the fact that a retarded savant designed the UI whilst being beat by a domineering mother so that he constantly asks 'Is this ok?', it's not a bad OS.

Stealing songs from youtube with free Apple software
Step 1... Firefox + Greasemonkey + YouTube to Me script
Step 2... iSquint. Since you followed the directions for the above script you now have a "Save Video As" link at the top of every youtube page. Choose your video, right click, "Save As" on the link at the top of the page. Drag the saved file to iSquint. Leave the defaults alone and click start. iSquint will convert the movie to an iPod compatible mp4.
Step 3... Open up iMovie, drag the mp4 into a new project. Once the movie is imported drag it onto the timeline and go to the Advanced >> Extract Audio from Clip. This separates the audio and the video. Drag the audio clip onto the desktop and you will have a file called "Extracted Audio 01.aiff" on your desktop that contains the audio of the former youtube clip.
It's a long way to go, but using this method you can, for free, extract just about any song you can think of from youtube.

Bruce Willis -- Forum Warrior
A forum poster over at Ain't It Cool started defending Die Hard 4's PG-13 rating. The AICN crowd thought that meant the movie would suck. Poster "Walter B" said essentially "No I worked on the movie it doesn't suck." Eventually "Walter B" revealed himself to be none other Walter Bruce Willis -- John Mafuckin'Clane. (Note the intelligent use of Apple hardware;)
Link to the thread. Scroll about halfway down "Walter B's" posts are white on black like an admin.

The More You Know
iMovie's H.264 Share >> iPod encoding from a DV source looks great on Youtube. For iSight encoding use iMovie's Share >> Quicktime >> CD-ROM for decent results. The iSight video ain't that good to begin with, and its usually just a HEADSHOT!

More on Jobs' keynote and stock prices
Narnia over at Websides has some other charts that show RIM and Palm's slide during and after the keynote and also notes a corresponding jump in Yahoo's stock when the IMAP push mail to the iPhone was announced.
Macworld Expo Keynote in a graphic
Apple announced two products today one bleh and one hawesome. I'll let the market decide which is which...
Wait it all ready did.
