I think apple is doing what google is doing. First apple starts out with a really slick mp3 player. Then they slowly build on it.. photos, mini videos, embedded diggie cam?, pda type functions, sync with a tivo like device?
Similar to google taking over deja news, images, email, IM client[hints in desktop search], web browser [gbrowser.com].. pretty soon they have a full fledged OS!
Build out your product in iterative phases, making it better with each pass until you have market domination.. or maybe it's the other way around.
The reason why people buy iPods is because iPods are the newest "trend" in mp3 players. Nobody is going to be impressed by your klunky looking Archos but if you whip out an iPod, you know people would be staring.
Of course there are better products out there.. but it's the one that is marketed the best which wins.
I could be the king of..

"Don't forget to add something vaguely religious the last paragraph of the article."
Or so they would have us believe! Seriously though, it's Friday afternoon and I'm sure the CNN writers are having the same issues.. Get me the fuck out of here... wha...? need a story... err.. hold on while I found some random facts and try to add a little DaVinci Code at the end.
... and we have to rename everything we already named?
"Oh, I'm sorry mostly-bag-of-water, but your universe is called Xezzuylly in your native tongue and your planet is called Hydrobagswamp. After reading your history books, specifically the colonization of America, we have decided to allow you to keep some names. Saturn's 9th moon will now be called Paris. Thank you and have a nice day"
Einstein never did bad at Math--that's a total hoax.
In his first year of HS, he got a 1 in Math. In this point scale, 1 being the highest. The next year, the school moved to the 4.0 system where he received straight A's.
When people look back at his grades, it would appear he only got a 1.0 in his first year but he actually got straight A's through out. Does anyone honestly believe that he would be bad at math? Im sure he could do calculus in his sleep.

Seti@home with one of these things!

... and when you turn it on, a crackly computer generated voice says, "Would you like to play a game?"
err.. name ONE french OS. Last I checked, nobody was flying to France to learn at their universities or work at their thriving computer market..
My original comment was a joke. We all know that the American's have no better ally than the French... er...
... that the French don't know how to use computers.
In other news, 5% of the French that had to reboot their computer also surrendered to a local CompUSA.
hehe. Godzilla vs Mothra
O&A are coming to XMradio. Might be worth it to get the stream service so you can listen to them at work... [with the volume turned down ;-]
Been watching TSS? hehe
... with some bikes Gilligan's Island style? I'm sure if they start to get tired, just bring up some porn and they'll be good to go for another hour.
... that when my mom starts typing sentences in the address bar, it will actually work!?!?
Address: I want to buy roses
Result: Welcome to buyroses.com!
*sigh* I'll miss the days of yelling at family members that a domain must end with dot something and an email address has an @ symbol.
From the official website though:
Phil Collins News
... of the crash scene look vaguely familiar.
Oh yeah...

Laf! Good one. Mod up.
There is no life in outer space as we believe in 2004 as is the Earth is flat in 1004
Careful, using the same logic we should ignore w3c html standards and just adopt what IE uses.. ;-)
Of course, the standard desktop would be Windows Xp, etc
Are there any services that will email you when a new /. article is posted?
.. for dot-code infringement. Err.. dot-code is the same as .Net right?
