"an Opera exec has said you can browse the internets..."
Really? All of them? Good because I'm tired of this one.
On a side note, a friend of mine pointed out that every Nintendo console has debuted with a price tag of $200. I don't see a reason for the Wii to be any different.
Few people are claiming that Tool is the first band to use the Fibonacci sequence in music. However, despite the fact that using the Fibonacci sequence in lyrics has been done before, Tool has taken this one step further.
Not only do the lyrics conform to the Fibonacci sequence in Tool's song "Lateralus", but the percussion does as well. The first line of the chorus is played in 9, the second line of the chorus is played in 8, and the third line of the chorus is played in 7. If you put these numbers together, you get 987 which is the sixteenth number in the Fibonacci sequence. This was intentional, as Tool's drummer, Danny Carey, mentioned this in an article in Modern Drummer magazine (although he incorrectly called 987 the twelth step of the Fibonacci sequence). While that's fairly impressive, what's really astounding is the fact that the song sounds very natural and most people would not have noticed the odd timing of the song if it had not been pointed out to them.
Anyway, simply pointing out that something has been done before is not constructive. Just about everything has been done before, so instead of just whining over and over again that something has already been done, why not take the time to look further into modern works of art. They may not be the first to do something, but there are good modern artists out there that will be able to put their own creative touch into the work.
And yes, I am a drummer.:)

Why go through all the hassle of developing applications in BitTorrent when you can just download them like a normal person?
