Narrator: And so the bold legions of PC and Mac users went forth into battle...the powerful, tightly-knitted cluster of Mac soldiers armed with their modded iPhone swords and unaware of the audible carnage around them due to their blasting iPods--and the varied array of PC users, from corporate IT managers to hardcore gamers to plastic-light-saber-wielding nerds to senior citizens to stay-at-home moms, armed with their shields prominently displaying their beloved coat of arms (the Windows symbol) and chanting "C:Windows/Attack.exe!" Although the PC soldiers epically outnumbered the Mac soldiers, large portions of the legion crashed frequently and inconveniently. There was no way that a single nation could fully gain victory in the war, but it was highly entertaining to the vast number of Linux villages watching eagerly from high up in the hills. This was truly a battle that no ONE could win...
Yeah, I would also vote for the PlayStation controller. My biggest struggle with it would be when I got a PS2 and was forced into using the analog sticks whereas analog on a PS1 was optional (and no one I knew ever used it). I don't have a problem with it now though. I can't imagine using any other kind of controller.
I hope I don't get modded down for praising a Sony product. The subject of video games is the most self-contradictory topic on Slashdot because we are required by law to hate MS, excuse me, M$ and $ony and not be crazy about Nintendo due to DRM.
I'm not sure how it relates to setting the date, but/. voices in my head are assuring me it's to properly enforce a DRM lock on all your food. No heating stolen pizza for you!
General Electric, General Motors, and General Mills are all in this together. I can feel it.

Just kidding. My mp3 player is a Samsung YP-U2J. I prefer it over the iPod because...
It's the size of a flash drive and charges as such.
Although browsing for a particular song in a large library can be a pain without a click wheel, I rarely do that because I keep the device on shuffle mode.
It has an FM tuner, which I used all the time back when my library only consisted of 5 ripped CD's.
It has 2GB, which is plenty of storage for music.
It doesn't store pictures or video, but I don't need a portable device for that. I have a computer.
It's only $100. The iPod nano is the only member of the iPod family that comes close and it's $150, with no FM tuner.
But that's just me. If I had more money, I would have probably gotten an iPod. I wouldn't now though, because I'd rather have a world outside of iTunes. Just my various rambling for today...

I guess 2007 won't be the year of Linux on the coffee table.
The bridge just called. It wants its trolls back. And the goats.
And...
In Soviet Russia, coffee table touches you!
That's not what I was going for. I was implying that Firefox would be racist.
Go to Youtube and type Gates Jobs into the search box...

That's fine, as long as they don't use colored tabs on us.

Look closer.

That would be a funny April fools prank to play on your local bank, as long as everyone put their money back later that day. "April fools!"
