[i]The new iPod my girlfriend gave me is a trap. Yeah, it is great looking and I really love the baby blue leather case but when, oh when, will Steve Jobs let me buy music from somewhere other than the Apple iTunes store and put it on my iPod?[/i] That's the last time I buy a gift for you, you ungrateful bitch!
Hitchhiker's biggest shortcoming is that it will make absolutely no sense whatsoever to people who have not read the books or seen the BBC series.
I mean good lord, Ford is carrying around a towel all the time and telling Arthur to make sure he has his towel with him... but the movie never explains to the audience why the towels are so important!
The first thirty minutes is really the most difficult as well, because they really tried to wow the audience with a strong, fast-paced opening... the problem is that the first half hour is packed with too much information for newcomers to absorb. It's just overwhelming how quickly they gloss over concepts, and it's overwhelming how many concepts they throw at the audience. It gets much better through the rest of the movie when they slow down and take their time to explain things and let ideas sink in...
Even if licensing out the iTMS format to other online music stores would theoretically drive more people to buy iPods, there's one factor that everyone's forgetting: user experience.
Apple doesn't want just any joe schmoe with a smelly t-shirt selling songs for the iPod because Apple wants to maintain a level of quality with the entire user experience, from the purchase of songs on iTMS to the browsing of their songs on iTunes to the uploading and management to the seamless integration between the store and iTunes.
Incorrect. If the $150m was a settlement, Apple would've kept the money for good. Since it was just a $150m investment, Microsoft has since sold off shares in Apple at a tidy profit.
As far as I know, Mac OSX comes with iSync which does this anyways.
They might be relying on Apple to take care of the software now. They have Address, iSync, Cal and other stuff that syncs with the Palm, so they probably figured, why not let Apple worry about maintaining this stuff instead?
Spending 12 hours in a chatroom! IM'ing all my friends (I don't know what any of them look like) several times a day! Connecting myself to Kevin Bacon (takes eight degrees for now) on Friendster!
I just KNEW someday someone would vindicate me and tell everyone that these were not anti-social activities!
If they stick to this and stop bothering kids who download/share on the internet, I'll actually call this a good turn of events.
See, by busting street vendors, they'll be hassling the REAL pirates, people who are trying to make a dishonest buck off of music, instead of busting college kids who are enthusiasts and fans of music.

Weta, not Meta. What kind of nerd are you?
When did the dinosaurs develop a military, and what happened the first time they thought about the evolution of flight?
"The Aristocrats!"
"dupe?"
Are you talking about the story or the editor?
"he needs to slap his daughter and tell her to quit doing whatever the hell she's doin on her computer"
What, you mean like browsing the web?
If Lucas could easily buy good reviews, he would've bought good reviews for the last two prequels too.

Try operating a laptop touchpad or an iPod with wet fingers!
It must really suck to be a sophomore at Duke!
Makes sense. I bet they are even going to jump right over a lava shark.
Wouldn't that be redundant? I thought Star Wars already jumped the shark.
When I go to xvid.org I see a plain page with the following text:

The settlement had to do with other terms.
You guys are so nasty, making scuzzy comments about seedy slots.

iTunes Music Store only helps the RIAA.
RIAA gets a cut of almost every song sold on iTMS, just like when you buy most CD's.

It was awfully, awfully kind of you to say so.
Paul Thurrott has a history of bias against Apple and very unreliable rumor mongering.

When does the network stop being free and when do they start taking monthly fees?
It's not true that the city is without broadband.
My parents live in Cerritos and I set them up with DSL before I moved out.
Why isn't there a MAME for PalmOS yet? There are NES, C64 and AtariST emus, but what I'm really wanting is MAME!
