“A Louisiana man claims in a lawsuit that Apple’s iPod music player can cause hearing loss in people who use it. ,[…]
The suit, which Patterson wants certified as a class-action, seeks compensation for unspecified damages and upgrades that will make iPods safer. Patterson’s suit said he bought an iPod last year, but does not specify whether he suffered hearing loss from the device.”
The last sentence makes this sound like a fishing trip.

“Kaikki Suomen Otto-pankkiautomaatit olivat keskiviikkoiltana suljettuina noin 20 minuutin ajan. […] Syynä oli […] reititinongelma TeliaSoneran valtakunnan verkossa.”
Olisiko ollut sama vika kuin se, joka jumitti Soneran sähköpostitkin?

“Soneran sähköpostiliikenne pysähtyi keskiviikkona useiksi tunneiksi.[…] Tällä kertaa Soneran sähköpostiliikenne oli jumissa poikkeuksellisen laajasti, sillä laitevika oli Ruotsin Hammarbyssä. Vika katkaisi sähköpostiliikenteen sekä Suomessa että Ruotsissa. […]
Katkenneesta sähköpostiliikenteestä tuli vihaista palautetta Soneran asiakaspalveluun pitkin päivää. Iltapäivällä kahden aikaan asiakaspalveluun oli muodostunut 45 minuutin jono.”
“One of the most common questions fielded from beginners concerning gimp is “how do I make a square/circle or other shapes.” The answer is not as easy as some other programs which have dedicated shape tools.”
To be honest, I find it pathetic that posting something like this under such a title is not a joke. Yes, I know it’s an Image Manipulation Program and not a drawing app, but… come on, drawing elementary shapes is… elementary!
“When […] Ontrack engineers carried the [hard disk]drive into their clean room and opened it up, the head was damaged, and the platters were caked with dust and smoke residue. But a week later, the company sent us an e-mail. Its engineers had recovered 100 percent of the data.
For Ontrack, it was just another week at the office. Apparently the company recovers data from fire-damaged drives all the time. And that’s one of the easier tasks. In 2003, Ontrack engineers successfully recovered files from a drive that arrived in Minnesota with a bullet hole in it. A few weeks later, they salvaged a disk that had spent three months at the bottom of a lake.”
