Yeah, whichever way I look at that title it looks like he's being made out to be a con artist.
Reality Distortion is one thing, conning people is another.
I know that's not what it was meant to look like, but it does, and that's that!
I remember in the late 70's in England my Father coming back from some training course or other raving about the films they had been shown starring John Cleese, and he was always hyped on the fact that Cleese actually made people learn through laughter.
I can't remember specifics but Dad worked for Thorne EMI who were in the Security business.
I was there too and an Apple rep in the white sneakers made a copy of the Tiger installer DVD in exchange for a bit on my sandwich. He told me they'd been there all morning and he hadn't had a bite to eat. He was about 5' 10", dark hair, blue eyes and a small mole on his neck.
You installed a new OS - to all intents and purposes its a new computer - so you need to reauthorize your "new" media center PC. Or am I missing something here?
"The U.S. can, and is moving in that direction (highly automated armaments, "smart" bombs, cruise missiles, and now in prototyping, fully automated flying drones), but terrorists still prefer the low-tech approach."
Unfortunately that's why terrorists will have to bring their half of the war into our cities and neighborhoods. As soon as they're unable to spill the blood of their attackers, antagonists, liberators or whatever, they'll start coming after mom and pop on their way to Walmart, Anytown, USA to get even.
If we start getting too remote control on their asses the safest place to be in the USA will be on a military base!
Yeah, seriously. My iPod is awesome. It plays my old MP3's, my newer AAC files and all the stuff I download from the iTunes Music Store which runs like a dream on my G5 running Mac OS X.
Who in their right mind would use a Creative product hooked up to a Napster web site running on a five year old operating system that isn't expected to see any major upgrades in two years?
"P.S. Just noticed there are actually 10 compatible players."
I just checked them out and they really don't compare to any of the iPod models currently available.
This shouldn't stop legions of comsumers from using the service, although I hope for their sakes that the subscriptions don't expire while they're on holiday, otherwise there won't be much Britney, Matchbox 100 or Eminem being played in motels around the country this summer.
"When you have people over for a party or whatever it's great to have a huge selection of music available. Let people add to the playlist, stick it on random and everyones happy."
No thanks. I've been using iTunes to provide party music since it first came out and it works great, and the best part is most of my music was ripped from used CD's which I later resold back to the same store.
I'd rather spend the monthly subscription money on a couple of extra six packs:-)
I interviewed Bob Moog, the man who invented the Moog Synthesizer and currently revitalizing the Theremin, a few years ago. He's the one who really kicked things off IMHO.
As for the first electronic musical instruments, they go way back to 1874 when Elisha Gray invented the Harmonic Telegraph, and I'm betting the "music" that it produced was ultimately the first Electronic Music.

I want to see screenshots of peoples faces when they have been trying for three hours to untar this, complile that and generally unzip the other but STILL can't get the damm thing installed.

All I got from the exchanges was:
bad guy: Variations on "I'm gonna kick your ass"
good guy: slick answer
I'm hoping the good guy makes it look like he has to think about these one line perfectly structured responses every once in a while.
Look around - you're living in an ad :-)
I'm playing it super safe and not even waiting until TOMORROW to get a dual 2GHz PowerPC G5, I'm gonna wait until THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW!

jeez, the 63's are out tonite....that was worse than my "a long time ago, in a universe nearly as wide as my knob" joke!

I still can't believe there isn't a .sex
The lights went out....ha ha ha....april fool
An easy one to do while watching the shot of the Pope's apartment windows on TV is "the lights went out" I've got five people with that one.
Tribbles, FUCK YOU!!!! sorry, I mean FUCK YEAH!

I still feel Longknob would have been a better name for their new OS
"Marijuana and (I think) some forms of mushrooms are fine."
I agree
"Wouldn't they have been labeled, what does this have to do with anything?"
Maybe they were labelled but the labels were put on wrong. Or the correct labels were put on each one but the wrong words were printed on them.
Man, this error could go all the way back to the big bang.
OK, that does it. I'm going to buy an iPod Shuffle tomorrow.

There's a concise history here.
"They won the 2004 Webby for Technological Achievement"
And don't forget they've been featured on the Kim Kommando show!!

"My scsi box is louder then a 747 during take-off"
Wow, that must be tough on the neighbors.
