I wonder which Chinese exports to the US will suffer as a result of the closures. Does it mean no more iPhones? Or is that why Apple stocked up on the new iPhones in these past few months? ;-) - Raoul Pop

I can tell you first hand, steel and steel parts that are made in China are a big issue. The plants have already been shutting down for a couple weeks now so they can clean up, and the parts that have been coming in during that time were ones that US companies ordered to stock up for the shutdowns. They will be shut down until the Olympics are over, so a few (10?) more weeks to go. - cmiper

Great, the European Union is in this too. Which means The Netherlands - where I live - will be the country to implement it first and enforce it the most rigorous. - Kenneth Verburg

I don't quite understand how this is even possible? If I drop a CD into my PC, and use iTunes (or whatever) to convert the files for play on my iPod (or whatever)...how is it that someone at a border crosssing or anywhere else for that matter, will be able to determine and/or prove that I don't own the CD which the files were taken from? Even though the "could" drag it out and ask for proof of the originals, but how much effort is going to go into this? Unless I am misunderstanding it all, it makes no sense to me and is doomed to fail and waste a lot of money in the process. Even with bought files that are DRM, you still have the ability to play them on diff devices, how coudl they even prove I had violated that? They will start treating legit and legal customers as criminals, it will all end badly. - cmiper

Given all of the things that are happening in the US and the UK (increased surveillance, draconian "homeland security" laws, etc.), I think the idea is not to make it easier for the people, but to get them accustomed to more crap like this. I don't know what the overarching purpose of all these filthy efforts is, but their overall effect is to seriously creep me out. - Raoul Pop

There is a very bright beacon on the horizon. Direct Note Access will smear any old definition of what a copyright violation is. When you can move every single note of a Jimi Hendrix guitar solo in time and pitch, then copyrighting a song becomes like copyrighting a blank sheet of paper. http://www.celemony.com/cms/in... - exador23

How did you get your image to show Kenneth? I tried (Attitude!) and used the FF bookmarklet and it didn't work for me. - Greg Newman

It took me a bit of figuring out too Greg, but if you move your mouse over an image when you clicked the FF bookmarklet there is a blue square around the image and when you click it it's included. I only found out after watching the movie tutorial ;) - Kenneth Verburg

that worked like a charm. thanks Kenneth! Mystery no more. - Greg Newman

You can also add multiple photos. Just keep clicking. - Russellreno

“Auntie Dawn's PC was an easy fix. HP has a pretty decent recovery tool that preserves apps and data.”

May 23 at 4:48 pm - Link

Really? That is crazy...is HP the only one with something like that? I've seen factory restores from a hidden partition, but keeping the apps and data? Wild! - Will Harris via twhirl

Had to do fam. PC rescue last week, indeed HP keeps it all. Great stuff, although it took 2 hours to find out this was the case. - Kenneth Verburg

Same thing happened with my son's laptop. He was going to spend $60 for Firedog support at Circuit City. I found out on the web site you just had to press an F key during startup to do a restore. I don't recall all the apps working but it did backup his user folder so all of his itunes and data were still on the machine. - Kevin Shannon
