    You had me until the 10 people bit when everyone knows 2 maybe 3 people could handle the wave traffic.

    What most certainly is funny is all the people whining about how unfunny the articles are.

    is like watching Hollywood try to do geek stuff.

    You do know the upload feature just uploads a copy, without destroying the original, don't you? Your original self is still sitting at his computer in his mom's basement. You, on the other hand, are just an online backup. Sorry to break the bad news to you.

    P.S. This really hot chick just walked in to deliver a "wave" to your original self. Unfortunately, she walked right back out again before he could take advantage of the situation.
