"What's the most interesting rationalization you've developed for bending the rules for entertainment content, and why is it ok?"
Ideally...seriously guys what the hell is so hard about enjoying entertainment that all the major media are so poorly designed? Here's what I think---entertainment keeps you alive. It's an anti-depressant. It's a drug, for better or worse---I think better. It teaches some people about human emotions, but in the end it's a lot of work. The technology sucks to enjoy entertainment, at home or elsewhere. The whole industry is not good enough for 2006. So as I was saying I need my entertainment for the reasons above---to counter boredom mainly but also to think. I can't afford enough entertainment at a good enough quality. I am tempted to supplant it with piracy. The prices are too high for heavy users.
Those last two questions were answered very suspiciously. I think they really don't know what they're doing at Microsoft. If they realized how much more money they could've made with Zune years ago and skipped PlaysForSure they wouldn't have to pretend they aren't calling PlaysForSure inferior and lying about it. And contrary to what he said, the people who use PlaysForSure weren't supposed to be the same people who build their own computers. Normal people use it.

Hi. I think this would be a shopping adventure :) I used to read catalogs all the time (Sharper Image especially). I haven't in a while so I'd like to see what's out there now and be able to buy something cool because there definitely will be something cool in this catalog. I won't rest until I find a neat gadget. Thank you.
"I'm in the market for a new laptop, and I want a 13-incher. I need something with a great keyboard for typing, as this will mostly be used for note taking in class. I am absolutely smitten with the XPS 13, but I'm afraid that with its age Dell is going to give it an update soon. Any advice for someone in my shoes?"
