...
I for one, welcome...
"Mark Fletcher for making bloglines the Internet's news network (RSS Reader)"
Neat, now more people can autocreate blogs targeted for adsense...
"Robert Lanza -for eye-opening work on embryonic stem cells"
See your future, it's right here
"Steven Squyres for keeping Spirit and Opportunity roving"
Where is the rest of Nasa on this one??? But that's humanity, always picking up one who holds the stick
The rest... boring, BTW there are also bunch of research in DNA, materials, and compsci which are changing the world arroung us constantly, why not mentioning anything of those fields?
"Until The Incredibles, the conventional wisdom was that animators can't do action," Bird says.
umm..anime?
Not even. The only legitimate question he asked was "Why the softball questions?". Anyone who watches the show KNOWS that NO guest, no matter their orientation, is going to get mostly softball questions.
Jon was dead-on-right questioning WHY that dork was trying to compare Daily Show to a legitimate news channel's programming.
Jon's attitude at the end of the interview was really just shock. He, like many people, realize that there's NO ARGUING with pedantic rhetoric dicks in bowties. It's like trying to argue there is no God with a person of faith. In fact, it's just like that. What can you do when the host won't even respond to simple, irrefutable logic, like "explain how BS talk shows like this HELP public discourse in America"?
what about Skinny Puppy and Front 242 or Front Line Assembly...
All three of these have contributed orders of magnitude more than this guy.
Remix record using beats from the Beatles. How quaint.
Skinny Puppy is the most sampling band ever (actually I believe they were surpassed by the other two I mentioned), front line assembly being extremely deft at it.
and this was in the late 80's and early 90's.
I love how all these genre's and youngins attempt to take credit now for doing things that Industrial pioneered 15+ years ago....
