(There's an old saying that makes the point: the only truly intuitive interface is the nipple. All others are learned.)
Sorry, but that interface is a learned one too. If you've ever sat and helplessly watched a new mother and baby trying to work out how to get some milk INTO baby, you know what I mean.
You could have elected a Vietnam veteran, a Columbia University professor, a member of the Apple Board of Directors, a guy with experience of government at practically every level, a guy without whom we wouldn't have the frickin' Internet... and GEORGE W. BUSH was the best choice?
Wordpad has never ever been able to read.doc files, troll.
You are wrong.
All of Windows 95/98's READMEs were in.doc format, because Wordpad -- included with Windows 95/98 -- could read them. When you first saved a new document created in Wordpad, it defaulted to ".doc" as a filetype.
where's your proof that the console is doing poorly?
Microsoft has invested $24B+ in Xbox in order to make a cumulative $5B+ LOSS so far -- and that's not counting the $1-1.5B that analysts estimate the warranty extension will cost. "Negative 24 billion" plus "negative 5 billion" plus "negative 1 point something billion" equals "doing poorly".
Personally, I'd be interested to see a record of stock transactions by IEB execs over the past few months.
Have Led Zeppelin members gotten a dime out of CDs with their original albums?
Probably not a great example to use, since Led Zeppelin is widely reviled for having blatantly stolen some of their most well-known songs from smaller, lower-profile artists.
Why isn't anyone questioning what expertise a surgeon general could have in the field of GLOBAL WARMING?
Who cares? I've tried explaining lots of different things without ever being an expert in the relevant fields. The point is, the people he was trying to explain something to DIDN'T WANT TO KNOW.

Xbox is a total and utter TRAINWRECK BLACK-HOLE DISASTER by any sane reckoning. Like, "shareholder lawsuit, SEC investigation" disaster.
if someone were to compare those works with the works of just the great classical master (Beethoven, Bach, Mozart, Schubert, etc, etc) it is a probability approaching certainty that all modern musical melodies exist in those libraries. What this means is that almost all pop music, that is, the tablature, is really public domain.
Hey, why stop there. Represented as numbers, any piece of music can be found somewhere within that infinitely-long non-recursive pot of gold we know as pi. Therefore all music is in the public domain. As well as all text, all code, all applications, hell... anything that can be represented as numbers.
Shi'as believe that Muhammad al-Mahdi will reappear when the world has fallen into chaos and civil war emerges between the human race for no reason. (Twelfth Imam) Ahmadinejad is part of an unorthodox group that believes muslims can hasten his coming by deliberately sinking the world into chaos (as opposed to "no reason"). (A nuanced discussion is here.) The publicly announced intention of Iran is to sink the world into chaos so as to usher in a new age.
Wow, you could replace "Shi'as" with "Christians" and "Ahmadinejad" with "Bush" and that whole paragraph still makes sense.

The title of the article should be "how much does a new American connection to the Internet cost?"
USA!=The Internet.
The thing that blows my mind is that there's an editor out there who can WRITE.
Yes but the cocaine trade isn't taking the earnings from legitimate businesses.
Of course it is -- why else do you think it's ILLEGAL? (hint: what laws do you think the tobacco and alcohol industries have bought?)

I'm not sure if it's as bad in NZ as it is in Australia but it's far from trivial..
In the lower half of the South Island, it's bad.

Internet Radio is, and will continue to be, alive and well. Just not in the USA.
Exactly. The labels are claiming that they represent EVERY ARTIST whether the artist has signed a contract with them or not.
Will it blend?
Actually, given that everything blended comes out as toxic dust... what happens if you put toxic dust INTO the blender?
When I can -- not as often as I'd like, I'm afraid :) so I know you under a different nick?

by the end of the year they finally hope to be making profit
:)
Yeah, right
Do you think they're going to make OVER SIX BILLION DOLLARS by the end of the year? Because that's what it would take.
Shame on you for implying that Clinton
a) did something
b) was wise
c) wasn't otherwise occupied with sexually harassing staff members
I got a spam email last week.
Thanks, gmail!

There's no way in hell any employer could make me use my own computer to do work on. No way.
I can't believe this situation even arose.

I can't wait for the protests and lawsuits claiming that autism isn't a condition, it's a "lifestyle choice".
