When someone like Mr. John here admits he's making an uninformed opinion, "I don't have a mobile phone or an iPod or anything", its kinda hard to give his words any weight no matter how much of an icon he is in the music industry.
Just because he personally doesn't use a tool doesn't mean it needs to be completely done away with. I could point to many uses of the internet as a means for musical collaboration. For applications there's Ninjam for one, FL Studio has Collab, and there's also many online communities of artists working together and feeding off each other's inspiration and creativity.
The candle hasn't burned out long ago, Elton. There's just more sources of light that you haven't bothered noticing.

"I've chosen a black background for most of my text because it's easier on the eyes than staring at a white screen. Think about it: your monitor is not a piece of paper, no matter how hard you try to make it one. Staring at a white background while you read is like staring at a light bulb (don't believe me? Try turning off the lights next time you use a word processor). Would you stare at a light bulb for hours at a time? Not if you want to keep your vision."

I came to the page expecting to see "First Washington Post" in the comments, and was disappointed.

Yep, you heard me. I fixed him. All it took was one package sent via snail mail, and a favor I called in from our mutual friend "Bob".
"Why not start researching realistic methods of destroying/deflecting these menaces before they get the chance to do their damage on us?"
Fuck that. We deserve to be creamed by a cosmic cueball in Infinity's game of snooker. Oh great Shiva, we beseech you! Earthball in the corner pocket!
