The good robots will just have to fight off the bad robots in an epic battle for humanity. By the time the battle begins, we will have robots that double as transportation.. cars, trucks (even semi trucks!), and planes. Even our boom boxes will be robots.

I don't fear the inevitable future, I embrace it. Morgan meets the eye.

This is a great thought-- however if my 6 year old biology memory serves me right, I believe that if one side of your body begins building muscle during workout, the other side will also grow to keep things even. I do think the non-worked-out side ends up being weaker, but it is not as noticeable as one might think.

I did a very cursory search and found the article here: http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0KGB/is_5_4/ai_n6006182

Which of course offers no citations for their claims. However, my fading memory of something said in biology class plus this article must mean it's true!

I am the one. Woah.

Further clarification of comments made by Sony:

"We emphatically deny the recent rumors about the PS3 release date being pushed back. However, due to overwhelming demand of the PS3 unit, we will have to move the release date to first quarter, 2007. This is not a delay, this is a logical response to overwhelming demand."

I agree it's a good thing that public outcry caused these companies to make a problem right.

My biggest concern is that by default, these companies made the initial choice to essentially raise rates (by adding surcharges) through extremely questionable methods, and with suspect timing & amount. These companies chose their shareholders & executive bonuses over their customers. It is a disturbing choice in this day and age.

You people crying about iTunes DRM have obviously not invested the 10 minutes or so it takes to research how to convert an iTunes file into a non-DRM MP3.

I will use my purchased music privately on any device I wish (and legally, I might add), and iTunes is a great way for me to purchase my music. I run a simple conversion using easily found software, and voila. It's usable on any device I want. I refuse to be one of those smacktards who will turn around and share the music on a peer network, because that is thievery, which is the one point I agree on with the RIAA.

Nonwithstanding what's under the bonnet, I rather think that the car's looks, at first glance, are plain and Dodgey. Literally-- if I saw a Dodge badge on the front of that body I would be unsurprised. The Dodge Neon Spyder!!!, it seems to say.

Torontoguy and those agreeing with him are in one of several categories:

1. Angsty college students who have chosen the iPod as the focus of said angst, have spent hours in a dark room brooding over how they can attack it, and are now fully vested in pitching their fallacical ideas to the public;

2. Scenesters who have a primary directive to be different & original from everyone else. In this case it means eschewing a clearly superior product, trying to belittle it using unsupported fallacies;

or

3. You can't afford a fuckin' iPod.

It's the best music player/storage system out there, and to me (notice how I qualified my statement unlike you) it doesn't sound a smidge different than any other player I've ever used. And yes, I've used other players.

Hopefully Sony or some other product manufacturer will make a player to take iPod on in terms of quality, capacity, ease of use, and reliability. So far I haven't seen it.
