I'm not sure I'm getting this alright. He was arrested for driving a (potentially) deadly machine around WHILE under the influence? I'll start building that Carmageddon shark car right now. I'll just have to avoid smashing other vehicles and runnin gover people.

Bah, no point. If there's no smashing and maiming involved, where's the fun...
You could have been a bit more imaginative, and go for NUMBER ONE! (John)
My vote would have been for Number Eight, but those are cool, as well. Not half as sexy, though.
For a moment I thought those trees were painted over the laptop. It looked cool, until reality hit me with its glossy fist in my bleeding eye.
It looks more rotten and beaten to a pulp than hidden.
Apple, you shouldn't have left NIN in. He told you his plans a long time ago:

He wants to fuck you like an animal
He wants to f[uck] you from the inside
He wants to fuck you like an animal
Reznor is nowadays almost more relevant now than he was in the 90s. Not only did he release an amazing album last year, but he offered it for free with the option to buy it with extras. He also has been giving his tunes for free under a Creative Commons License for some time. And still had positive accounts.
He is one of the few big artists who have turned their backs to the industry while remaining important and making a profit. To put this in perspective, think that musical gods like Eno (last year, with David Byrne) or Prince (in the nineties) have not matched this achievement.

So, yes, NIN is still relevant and will apparently be for some time.
I thought Reznor chose the name because it just sounded cool. And it does.
Then there are 435.000 people about to discover that their new R4 cartridge is useless on their shiny DSi. If only their consoles took a photo of their faces when the find that out...
Basically, they don't base their product's advertisement campaigns on what the hardware does, but in how cool having them makes you look.
What I don't understand is how are people attracted to buying a system just by watching an ad in which a couple take stupid photos in blue tones. 150€ for that is plainly absurd, in my book, because there are few other things that take advantage of the camera in the near future. But the average DS owner seems to have no clue about that and a lot of cash to burn.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I love my little computing companion but I often find myself missing a full sized keyboard. I have been looking at several of these portable and flexible keyboards, but I can't seem to make up my mind about which I should buy. I don't want the keyboard to be overly expensive, but I want it to be good quality. Also, how difficult is it to type on these keyboards? Thanks!"
