Now they finally have a place to put Walt Disney's brain. Imagine if they hooked him up to Maya, the kind of glorious animated movies he would churn out.
Right, but the key problem is the userbase. Why does AIM remain so popular as the AOL isp service continues to decline? Existing infrastructure. Everyone has an AIM screen name, and if you want to talk to them you'll likely have to do the same.
So, why would I join a social network site like Walmart to shop with my friends, when none of my friends are on it? Its going to take a LOT of money to fix that and incentivise getting me to join your service. And when that's finished, did you really sell more crap?
Good Lord, there has to be an end to this. Every company with an online frontend thinks they can create some kind of social-networking infrastructure to "draw the hip kids in" with. What a load of crap.
Why would I join the walmart network to hook up with my friends and buy paper towels, when I'm already connected to 15 different networks. I already have too many to be on. Not to mention, I am sure a social network like myspace, whose sole purpose is to serve as a social network, is much better at performing that function than, say, Walmart is. Walmart sells me toothpaste at a discount, it doesn't connect me to my friends. And in case they haven't noticed, teenage girls aren't going to tell each other they shop at Walmart. There's a bit of a stigma attached to that.
From what I hear, they all shop at Target, or "Tär-zhAy"

I realized that, but I felt that the ubiquitous nature of speech recognition in the 24th century was much more indicative of the direction of the ipod technology.

When I read the headline I thought the article was referring to Internet 2, which of course is REAL. Its what my university is connected to and it makes for very accessible high-speed porn from other Internet 2 capable universities.

I am your father? Maybe? Young Kirk goes and talks to Shatner who plays his father, with green orion slave girl as mother of course?
Hey, when you have infinte time, crossing your t's and dotting your i's doesn't seem that bothersome.

Its hilarious because its entirely antithetical to the free market! HA! The irony.
Thanks, this made me laugh a lot.

At least its not: "Here's a scene where we.. um, intended Leonard to show us some emotion" "Yeah, but Shatner stole it" "Again"
Find a fucking hobby.
Ahh I am haunted by the vision of thousands of BSODs running in perfect parallel.
A bit OT, but I'm 19 and I own the record. So it pays not to judge.
