It may have given "you" the perception you're in control, but you're not, you have been betrayed by every corner of the commercial industry. The only unique factor about Apple and the iPod is they've made the betrayal seem warm and fuzzy.
You are confusing the iTunes Music Store with the iPod.
I have purchased 6 iPods and currently use 2 (sold the others). I haven't purchased a single track from the iTunes music store yet my iPods are full of music I have legally purchased.
I am fully in control of that music, as mentioned in the article. The iPod works perfectly with plain 'ole mp3 files.
Now i just hit "start->control panel", click in the search box for something like "sound" and i get search-as-i-type results that are pretty accurate and take me right to the control panel i want to go to.

Rather than learn to stand up for himself he will look back at filing a lawsuit to deal with a problem of growing up.
Bullies are a problem and will always be a problem. The solution is to pop 'em in the nose and stand up to them. Take aikido, tae kwon do, boxing, or that fat ass could have just as easily ran a few laps to get somewhat in shape.
For his entire life, he will remember that he backed down from bullies, handled being the "star wars kid" very poorly, and was a big fat pussy.
The only way that war becomes "fair" is if both sides incur the same 'cost' of the war
Obviously, you have never been in the military.
The last thing anyone in the military wants is a "fair" fight. Technology and training are used to tip the odds and make the fight as unfair as possible.
And I suppose if you ever have to fight for your life you will agree.
I had been using Vonage with my Comcast cable modem with no problems for over 2 years. Last last summer, I started having severe problems with Vonage. Calls sounded like very poor cell phone calls and a 4 to 5 second delay from when I spoke and the person acknowledged they heard me.
I called Comcast to complain. After 3 service calls in 2 months, I finally was tired of the problems and went with Verizon DSL for 2/3rds the cost of Comcast broadband.

I've seen Wile e. Coyote blow stuff up on the moon lots of time and it looks completely different from that obviously faked footage.
You've probably had a relative, friend, girlfriend or a kid like this: whatever you do for them, it's never f*cking enough.
Microsoft: So what do you want in a girlfriend?
General Consumer Market: Tall, exotic, and thin.
Developers: And a fashion model!
Microsoft: Ok, here's RuPaul.
Microsoft: Oh, and we included a penis. Enjoy.

Absolutely nuthin!
Say it again y'all.
So, I say: party on, BPL!
Party on, Garth!
The new catch phrase should be "Now with rounded corners"
Rob's site and his decision, but how about picking something a little less bland?
1. Ninjas' are mammels.
2. Ninja's fight all the time.
3. The purpose of a ninja is to flip out and kill people
on a lawyer?
I absolutely would consider a design with all 153 redone topic icons.
Why not kill 2 birds with one stone?
Set a specific size for new icons and have another contest for all new icons.
Require the new design to use that specific size and style of icon.
We can expect a Matrix or a Lord of the Rings design?
Third prize is "You're fired".
I'm sorry I used my last mod point earlier today. Somebody mod this fucking asshole down.
Oh, Anon Cowards have mod points? Or you were too much of a "fat star wars kid" to post under your nick?
The old saying "Life is 10% of what happens to you and 90% of how you react to it" has never been more true.
While that fat little pussy may be celebrating now, he will always regret his actions and not standing up for himself.

I have no fucking idea what the above story is about.
Nor do I care.
Sure, the first dozen were original, but now it is getting a bit old.
I can't quite remember how it ends though.
Cartman finishes last.

I thought my watch was coming back into style.
Seems like an easy way to get around the end of the world
After all, he is right next to that slut Saturn.

Vonage works perfectly again.
