I think I saw someone else skulking around there. He was an Egyptian with a Spanish sounding name and a Scottish accent, who seemed to vaguely resemble James Bond.
Er, sorry. Wrong MacLeod.
Coincidentally, I happen to belong to the MacLeod clan, but I seem to have lost my sword somewhere...
Long live lynx and mosaic!!!
Now, back to our regularly scheduled rant...
Seeing the discussions about how this could've been avoided by using Opera or Mozilla (currently bringing me to slashdot, just for the record), brings a question to mind. How are these "alternative" browsers? Netscape has been around a whole lot longer, so shouldn't IE be the alternative? Just an off-the-wall idea.
Actually, as the story talks about, it's very similar to the concept of MIDI, only it's a little more advanced and a little more digitally pure. Brian Moore guitars is already marketing a guitar with a direct MIDI port rather than a standard 1/4" jack, and it seems to do quite well for a niche market. The cool thing here is now you could have the top 3 strings with heavy fuzz/distortion and a completely clean sound for the bottom 3, etc. Still, it's gotta suck when your guitar starts suffering from packet loss in the middle of a show.
Aw man, now I went and spit Coke all over my keyboard!
Hey wait...
Gibson makes guitars.
Guitars are played by musicians.
Musicians with contracts work for a record company.
Record companies are in league with the RIAA!
The RIAA is doing this to keep me from my mp3s!!
