  1. Re:Switcher Commercials on Microsoft vs. Apple's "Thunder" · · Score: 1

    Boys and gurls: The whole point of the switcher commericals is that Apple is going after people for whom more than one mouse button is scary, the people who keep AOL in business. This is the next growth market for computers, as the other niches which have driven growth in the past (power users, designers/artists, gamers etc.) are all saturated. Apple ie going after the people who buy their computers like they buy their washing machines, and these people don't want to have to know anything. They want to press play and rock and roll, and that's what Apple is providing for them. I constantly have a terminal window with top running, and I configure my firewall from the command line. But I'm not most users, and neither is anyone here. We are not Apple's next market.

  2. Ahh, Tetris, sweet Tetris. . . on Seventeen Years of Tetris · · Score: 1, Funny

    The only game I've never gotten tired of. I remember having a paper due in college. I sat down at 4 pm, played eight (8!) hours of Tetris, and wrote the paper in three hours.

    Now that's Professional Procrastination.
