If a user has write access to a file system, then they can fill the drive until there is no space left for others. For the most part this just takes some chatting with the other members of a household or workplace, but to avoid confrontations you can set up the system in various ways to limit a user’s disk space use. 09.23   AppleInsider   Apple Expands iPad Distribution To Third-party US Retail Channel, Staff: Apple now allows its largest distributors to provide all six models of the iPad to authorized resellers across the U.S., continuing the company’s meticulous and methodical expansion of iPad availability. 09.23   AppleInsider   Apple Issuing Refunds For Apple TV Rush Orders, Citing Delay, Staff: Some customers who paid Apple for expedited shipping on the soon-to-ship Apple TV are receiving emails from the company Thursday informing them that those shipping charges have been waived due to a possible ’delay.’ 09.23   Fox News   iPads On College Campuses?
