The percentage of geeks in general population is growing (or growling, as the case may be)? Cool! More pale chicks with glasses, long hair, and unshaved legs!
So, people will be able to rent access to TimeWarner's or Fox's vaults, for so much a month? That might be worth it. Or maybe do a per gig/dl per month, available at any participating studios.
I think the biggest problem is that a lot of people don't realize that there is anything else they can run, other than Windows. My Dad is a prime example. Here I am, a Mac tech for the last 14 years and I go over one day and he's bought a PC. Never mentioned wanting a computer, never asked me a single question about computers, etc. Turns out one of his neighbors had gotten a pc and so Dad had to as well. Yeah, he's one of those guys that has to live in the right neighborhood in town, with all the matching houses and rules against just about anything other than college football parties. To people like this, a computer=Windows. Hell, he still gets me PC based computer games as gifts, even though i've told him over and over that I can't run that software. For people like this, you have to explain that you're going to put a new version of Windows on his computer. That's the only way to get through to these people.
Maybe it's going to be one of those face-hugger alien deals, like Jobs did with Apple, when Apple bought NeXT? Pixar my gestate inside Disney for a year or two and then they take over? Wonder if Jobs will be the dCEO and only take $1 in pay?

Apple? Netscape? IBM?
Here's one sign of him.

I'm a Mac user and I bought two new Macs in 2005. Definately not a switcher.
I'd be happy with 10%-15%. Mebbe Dvorak would start writing a column again in MacWorld?
what the hell do you call someone from Kansas anyway?

So, what's the difference? What about defenestrate? That's a neat sounding word.
Not everyone in tech is a programmer.
is that traditional degrees are actually worth the paper they're printed on, asshole!
How's that?
You can't get a good tech job with out a degree from an ivy league school? What is your definition of good?

It once made me dinner. The mac and cheese was a bit runny, though.
What?!!! There are people out there that are driven by their irrational emotions and not pure logic? What the fucking planet am I on?
Doesn't Disney do this with their DVD releases?

D'oh! Tiem to server my nipples from my chest in shame.
While on the topic of vestigial: male nipples. No known use.
They server to break up the monotony of the mail chest.
Edit out the car driving past the Shire?
See, we have this new guy, named Chewbaca...
In post-Soviet Georgia...
Help not will you receive, devient XYX.
Should have training/education expenses figured in as a yearly cost. For something like this, IT staff don't get to go on Linux pub crawl this year.
Hey, looks like something's heading our...Shit, Yuri, start pedaling!
Hey, computer geeks can solve anything. They've read books and...stuff. And if it involves elves or pr0n, they'll do it even faster.
