• Ah, but if it does, they really don't have to keep track of EVERYONE... they just haul the law out and whack it over the head of anyone they want if something else doesn't stick. In reply to: "Bill proposes ISPs, Wi-Fi keep logs for police"

• Oh give us a break.. seriously? You found a story here that was worth this many words?
  
  Just a thought, but perhaps the team had the robots.txt file in place as they were building the site and launching as to not have Google crawl it in the early phase, to make sure things were ok? Soft launch is not uncommon. Or, perhaps someone just forgot to remove the file put in place during development? These are human beings after all.
  
  You probably should write a story based on substantiated facts, rather than assumptions on what you think you know. That is the difference between journalism and blogs... and why blogs will almost never be trusted.

• Fixed battery? Ugh.
  I can live with that, but if it has a glossy screen and no matte option, no market here :-(
  
  I'm going to buy up an old model and upgrade the crap out of it.. that should tide me over until Apple gets inundated with glossy screen complaints and sees the light rather than the reflection... In reply to: "Unibody 17-inch MacBook Pro reportedly in works"

• Who cares which on-line technology will dominate. If your apps are all on-line, when the power goes out, the server goes down, Time Warner/Roadrunner goes out and all you have left is a MacBook Pro with a full battery, you will fall in love with MS Office all over again.
