  1. Dilution of Trademark on The Googlewashing Of Our Language · · Score: 1

    I think more important than the story is the recent trend to use the term "Google" as a common phrase - "to google," "googlewashing." Xerox, Kleenex, and Microsoft are all aware of the possibly of losing exclusivity of their trademarks by having their brand become a household name.

    I hope Google is paying attention.

  2. KEXP Seattle on Discovering New Music? · · Score: 1

    You might try KEXP. Commercial free independent radio. The BEST radio station on earth. They stream in all the formats, including uncompressed CD quality. They are also really good at playing requests. Then there are the online playlists. Then there are the two weeks worth of archived sets.

    Try it, you will like it.

    Even if you need windows, you can still use the Powerbook. My G4 running VirtualPC runs Win98SE fully networked to work's NT domain and net printers.

  4. T2:3D Battle Across Time on Terminator 3: Rise Of The Machines · · Score: 1

    Actually, James Cameron did write a third Terminator movie. At Universal Studios Hollywood, Arnold, John and Sarah go "Back to the Future" and destroy Skynet. Plot info is here.

    It is a good show, especially when they spray freezing cold water on you to simulate the Terminator exploding.

    Interesting trivia from that page:

    # Running only 12 minutes and costing $60 million averages to $5 million per minute of film, the most expensive of any movie in history.

    # When John and the Terminator go into the future Sarah stays behind to hold off the T-1000. When John and the Terminator arrive in the future the T-1000 comes through the portal after them. According to Cameron the only way that the T-1000 could have gotten past Sarah is to kill her. In his mind that means that Sarah is dead. As Linda Hamilton is not going to be returning in T3 Sarah is probably dead.

    # The Cyberdyne theater is called the "Miles Bennett Dyson building", after the research scientist (Joe Morton) who was killed in the explosion at the original Cyberdyne building.
