2012/3/15-6/1 [Computer/SW/Languages, Computer/SW/OS/Windows] UID:54340 Activity:nil | 3/15 Why does MS put double-quotes around the '8' in Windows Server 8, like

2007/7/10-16 [Computer/Companies/Apple] UID:47242 Activity:high | 7/10 My girlfriend downloaded music from iTunes onto another computer,
which we do not have access to anymore. Apple has record of the
purchases through the "Purchase History" option, but their policy

\_ If yahoo is owned by MS, perhaps they will no longer have scientology
