What I would really like to see Apple do when they launch Jaguar is to drop the price on OEM video card upgrades for those of us with Rage 128s and who need an ADC connector. I love my studio display, but I now this makes me wish I had just bought a standard dvi display since the only place to find ADC compatible video cards is through Apple with their absurd prices for old OEM cards or Ebay.
I don't know if I'd say that none of them have artistic skills. If you look at graffiti in a purely artistic way, some it really is amazing. They obviously have knowledge of color, layout, and how to present ideas graphically. If we allow people to use their creative talents in such a way that it is for the good of everyone, webdesign, it's definitely something positive. If it gets people off of the streets tagging walls, bridges, and other things, and gets them tagging some html and claiming their own turf on the internet, everyone will be happier.
as MemeRot stated, many dealerships put their badges on the rear of cars, as well as their service department sticking their paper floormats in, the little tag hanging from your rear view mirror and many other little marketing schemes to get you to come back to them for service. It all falls under the same idea, if they can get their name into your head, hopefully it will be the first place you think of when you need a new car, service, or whatever else.
You may not like Microsoft, but it's their operating system. I'd expect all those little online service icons if I bought a new pc. However, I'm sure if you are reading/. you can click the MSN icon and hit the delete button. They aren't forcing you to use MSN. If you really don't like it, run linux, bsd, or buy a Mac.

MP3 Rage will allow you to not only get info from CDDB for already ripped MP3s, but handle all sorts of other tagging and renaming. Check it out
