  • Hard News: Geeky Thursday again,

    A friend of mine who worked in a branch of the CD and DVD Store used to order the music she liked and play it, because there was nothing in stock she could bear.

    I would imagine that most music in Starbucks would be of the Norah Jones variety. I thought the point of having an iPod was to block out the white noise with music of your own choosing.

  • Hard News: Geeky Thursday again,

    The networks don't seem to have grasped two facts about Internet: an awful lot of people are willing to make content for nothing and users don't want to pay for Internet content.

    Yet still, the network people talk about revenue streams and leveraging. Why do they assume that users who are accustomed to getting content for nothing will suddenly start paying subscriptions? TV viewers might pay for Sky because they can get more channels, but what more could the TV networks offer Internet users?

  • Hard News: Not Okay,

    Yes, the uncle at the wedding or that drunk father in the ALAC ad who wants to dance with his daughter; or the Ancient Mariner. I could imagine Moore pinning a hapless guest against a wall to tell him these "I used to be a contender" stories, but to write them down and send them to the Heraldl is truly unfortunate.

    Worse still, the Herald takes his ramblings seriously.

  • Hard News: Done and Blended,

    A truly Great Blend; and what an after-party. My friend was Sam, by the way.

  • Hard News: Busted editors,

    I must edit my last comment: those two possibilites are not mutually exclusive.

  • Hard News: Busted editors,

    Well, there goes my day. This is so much fun.

    This raises Questions, of course. Is Wikipedia so important that corporations and governments are prepared to risk the humiliaton of being caught altering pages? Or are corporations and governments just very petty and vain?

    You had me right to the end. I thought something had gone horribly wrong with your writing style.

    The substance of Windows being thousands of viruses.
