One of my coworkers claims that every printer puts an invisible but identifiable mark on each page it prints that identifies it as the specific printer as the source of the document, as well as the date that the document was printed. Is he pulling my leg, or is his tinfoil hat on a little too tightly?

I've refilled my own ink cartridges and bought commercially refilled ones as well.  I assume you are thinking of the commercially refilled ink jet cartridges for your office.  I found no difference in reliability or longevity between the refills and new, expensive OEM cartridges.

I've read about reported problems French Facebook users were having with their private messages unexpectedly showing up on their timelines. My private messages are private for a reason, I don't want everyone to see them. Is this problem limited to France, or is it a wider problem?

Ok, so I was pretty jazzed about a new Kindle Fire. I figured it would take the good from the first gen, take advantage of hardware improvements, both from a cost and performance standpoint, and provide a superior device for about the same money.

It remains to be seen whether the court will issue the injunction against Samsung selling many of its products in the US, as Apple has requested.  But if issued, that would only directly impact Samsung and those who desire a particular Samsung device in the near future.    

I've been trying to find a keyboard that has the same feel as the old IBM PCs from the 80s-90s. They had a long stroke and a very distinct "click-click" tactile feedback.

One think that can be counted on in this world is things that are often horrible, sometimes racist, sometimes nationalists, and generally unpleasant to be posted in comments on YouTube. How much of a improvement in the amount of common decency shown in comments do you expect to result from the push to use actual names on YouTube?

Well, she can't do worse than Yahoo's corporate "leadership" has recently.  Then again, I could say that about myself.    

Well, the interface is going to be different, for sure, with the new "metro style" but beyond that, it looks like it will be a pretty major update.  The file system you noted, Resilient File System in MS Speak, is supposed to be noticeably more scalable and reliable.  Hyper-V will be able to work in multi-tenant configurations.
