Okay. Here’s the situation:
You volunteer at a radio station. Part of what you do is set up playlists for overnight Internet radio play while the station itself is off the air. You get into a minor disagreement about what’s being played, so you decide to leave the station.
So far so normal, right?
But then you take a wild swerve into left field. You throw logic out completely. They changed your god damned playlist. What the fuck. They’re not playing all the music you want. Those bastards. You need to pay them back. You have to. It’s in your blood. You can’t let them get away with this infraction. Who the fuck are they to change what YOU did?
You’re boiling with rage over a minor problem, right? So before you left you made a copy of the key to the building. You left. Then you waited for everyone else to leave, and showed them a lesson.
You caught the god damned building on fire.
Because you’re an idiot.
End scenario.
How dumb does a guy have to be to set a building on fire because they didn’t play the music he wanted them to play?
I can’t imagine how you justify that to yourself. I can’t actually wrap my brain around it. It’s too stupid. My brain doesn’t have a setting that goes that low.
This guy wins the, “I’m the dumbest mother fucker in the country” award.

After last year’s MacWorld, where Steve Jobs rolled out the iPhone, everyone has been wondering: What’s next?
This is the problem for people; they’re overhyping Apple’s MacWorld because they think something really cool like the iPhone is coming. Some people are even saying Apple is ‘years ahead of their competitors’…
With the biggest speculations being a ’slimmed down macbook’ and ‘online movie rentals’, I can’t say that Apple is ahead of the competition by any means. Dell, through Alienware, has already had Solid-State laptops available for a while; NetFlix has been doing online movie rentals for ages.
What does this mean? Not a lot; except that maybe Apple’s stock will fall a bit when investors realize they don’t have a brand-new product to launch into the market with.
Investors have probably started pulling out anyway since it looks like a big market Apple was trying to peg, (China,) didn’t happen.
People are setting themselves up for a big dissappointment this year; and I think this guy, (while being something of a MacFanboy by the sounds of the article,) summed it up pretty well.
(He glossed over all the failed products Apple has introduced over the years, though, so keep that in mind while reading his article.)

Okay. I love this.
They’ve made a bed that has WiFi, an iPod Dock (meh), Surround Sound Speakers, and LCD proejector, dual temperature controls and DVR capabilities.
This bed even fights snoring!
Mind you, it’s going to cost between 20k and 50k USD, depending on the model you get, it’ll still be a kick-ass gadget that any tech-guy (or gal) will want to have in their bedroom, in my opinion. I’d love to have one of these things.

DRM might be finally going away; Sony has announced that they will be selling DRM free music on Amazon.com. Around the world, music-lovers could be heard breathing a huge sigh of relief.
It might have come too soon, though. Wired is talking about a new way of protecting digital media from pilfering hands. Even Microsoft is getting into the game with a new patent on a watermarking scheme called “El Dorado”.
This digital watermarking might be used to link songs downloaded to the original purchaser/owner of a CD, though the record industries say they won’t go that way with the technology.
Frankly, I think that it’s an interesting idea, but Microsoft and others all have their work cut out for’em. Digital Watermarking is better than DRM, but only a tad.

This could hurt iTunes. Amazon is now the first major reseller to sell music without DRM from all four major labels.
I bet Steve Jobs wishes he could say that.
