So I made a quick trip down to my friendly neighborhood MicroCenter tonight, to sneak a peek at the new PowerBook G4… I think some sort of Homer Simpson drooling thing would be appropriate here…. So I think I’ll get one. To quote Ferris Bueller: ‘If you have the means, I highly recommend picking one up.’
Things are getting a bit extreme with the whole Napster ordeal. The Belgian police are now raiding homes of Napster users. It isn’t like a nationwide raid, but they are tracking users “by the thousands.” This was all done at the request of the record labels. Sounds sketchy to me.
I was thinking about marketing terms and mottos for Windows XP and these are the best I could come up with;
WindowsXP – What do you want to rent today.
WindowsXP – Featuring Auq— er, I mean Luna
WindowsXP – Fischer Price Consumer Release 1 SP12
WindowsXP – It will eXPlode onto your computer. (literally)
WindowsXP – Xperience Crashes
WindowsXP – Now with iPicture for your porn.
WindowsXP – Playing catch up, again.
oh well, this just got boring….
A Palestinian bus driver plowed into a throng of young Israeli soldiers and civilians at a crowded bus stop near Tel Aviv on Wednesday morning, killing eight of them, injuring about 20 and transforming a routine rush hour into a tableau of carnage.
If you voted for Pud of FuckedCompany on Women.com, he’s won. Yipty-frickin-do.
Kansas has struggled with this issue in the past. At least they are making a little headway. What scares me is that other states are considering doing away with evolution.
“Kansas is one of several states, including Arizona, Alabama, Illinois, New Mexico, Texas and Nebraska, where school boards have attempted to take evolution out of state science standards or to de-emphasize evolutionary concepts.”
It must be Christmas time at Microsoft (or maybe they just borrowed a couple things from Apple)…
Notice the golden poppies and the rubber-ducky that kev was talking about…. I think this is purposely done in a subliminal manner by Microsnot to assure that the resemblance with MacOS X is spotted instantly… but, then again, maybe I’m just on crack.

Want a laugh? Windows XP: Where do your developmentally-disabled children want to go today? And isn’t that rubber-ducky picture the same one used in MacOS 9?
This should be fun…Get your ears ready for some burning sensations.
The upcoming appeal arguments between the federal government and Microsoft Corp. will be a broadcast first, as audio of the hearings will be streamed live on the Internet.
Tune in Feburary 26 and February 27. The arguments will be available on the Web at ABC and C-SPAN Online.
I jumped on Erasing.org today, and found that its author has encountered a little cyberplaigarism… Take your time, click on the link, and check it out… He even took a screenshot of it and wrote a blow-by-blow replay and commentary on what was stolen. The person who did it has to be a reader, and would have to see what happened… and if the author didn’t check his referrer logs, would probably never known about it. Pretty scary that someone can do this so easily. But I guess we’ve all seen it with k10k and Kiiroi…
You know, once when I was in art school, this jerk that nobody liked stole a Playboy ad and stole it as his own. He was kicked out, only to return 3 quarters later. He was mocked oh-so-badly.
