    The MPAA filed a lawsuit against Apple this morning, citing massive revenue losses due to the new Apple DVR.

      I used to not watch TV, but I found I was spending so much time telling other people (who didn't want to know) about how I don't watch TV, that it took up less time just to watch the damn TV instead.

      Clued-in moderators rate funny stuff as insightful, b/c funny mods don't increase karma, whereas a corresponding downmod will decrease it. Its the weird slashmath. For example, say you get 5 +1 funny mods. You get no karma points for Funny mods. Then someone else bitch-slaps you with 5 -1 troll mods. You get a -5 karma hit.

      Besides, you have to have a bit of insight to be funny ... otherwise it wouldn't be funny, so its karmic (ok, moan and groan, that pun was pretty bad)

    I hate the way that it keeps charging me 99c every time a music track plays in the background... At least it won't have some of the annoying features of Windows Media. I hate it when Clippy appears and says "You seem to be watching pro wrestling. Shall I e-order beer and pizza for you?"

      "...Shall I e-order beer and pizza for you?"

      I wish clippy did anything as useful as suggesting beer and pizza.

      Or: "Based on vocal patterns and poor video quality you seem to be watching porn. Click here to order more lubricant!"

    Seriously, who cares about "Watching their music"

    Those of us on acid, naturally.

    Yep, it looks like the Apple Product Cycle is operating 100% according to spec on this one.

    I hope it doesn't have an iPod dock integrated. Apple changes thier iPod dock designs more often than I change my underwear.
