        http://mashable.com/2013/09/15/severed-finger-iphone-5s
        I'm sure the Apple QA department has tested extensively that a severed
        finger will not be able to access a stolen iPhone 5S.
        \_ It doesn't matter whether or not a severed finger can be used.  It

7/31    Hi, I am looking for a monitoring recommendation for use at home
        with my MacMini and as a second monitor for my Airbook. At this
        point I dont want to buy a fancy Apple monitor -- will probably
        wait for then to announce a new one -- but price doesnt really
        matter [office buy], but it doesnt seem like there is any need
        to spend more than $500? Historically I've just gotten a decent

        might be able to hit Intel up for donated/partially donated (reduced
        price) Core i7 Xeons when they come out?  Who would be a good person
        to contact about something like that?  We're of course willing to put
        out for them - perhaps we'll tattoo an Intel logo on toulouse if that's
        what they want :-p  -- steven

Intel puts dicks in legal vice By Mike Magee Published Friday 9th March 2001 08:37 GMT The chip company which once tried to trademark the letter 'i', a squiggly loop and the word surfboard, has now turned its attention to a retired group of private dicks, otherwise known as investigators. According to sources close to US firm Intelnetworks, the Intel Corp has recently made a call to the non-profit organisation and ticked them off for using the "intel" prefix. Intelnetworks Inc has no computer element to its business. According to the Merriam-Webster Collegiate Dictionary, it is an abbreviation for intelligence. Alternatively, maybe it will sue the Big Dick (dictionary). But, as regular and longtime readers of The Reg are aware, Intel is very jealous of its intellectual property. Just last year, it took legal action against a security computer firm called Intelnet for similar reasons. One of Intel's more risible trademarks is "Intel Hotels of Distinction" but as far as we know none of these establishments has opened its doors to guests as yet. The Internet means you can now search for US trademarks online, with more recent Intel trademarks including The Journey Inside, the Intel Pocket Concert, the Intelnet (76196221 not from Intel this one and filed in mid-January last), and the Dolphin (76026683) from Isle-of-Man firm Dolphin Intel Limited.
