If Don Dodge can get you naked just by looking at you, seriously consider therapy. If not that, try getting laid more often.

Well, the concept is kinda cool, but the actual recommendations are, well, crap. When I search for a songs similar a popular artist like Kelly Clarkson, I should not find a song by the Canadian Prog Rock band Rush (and a song that was 30+ years old at that)! Gimme a break...

Ha. Just another ScrewedForSure(tm) if MS doesn't feel like it's going their way...

You may well be right about the iPhone not being quite so revolutionary, but I read about both the Sansa and the iPhone yesterday. When I thought about the Sansa, I thought "hey, kinda cool...but I don't think I'll be biting this year." When I saw the iPhone, I thought "Hot damn! I gotta get me one of those!" Absolutely, there was the evidence of the Jobs reality distortion field present at his speech, but the iPhone (or at least the demo) exuded cool all the way. The only thing they needed was a GPS sensor and an (mini)SD slot, and I can live without those.

I'll join in on this one. I will be looking at Sony products forever with this fiasco in mind. I do realize that Sony is a multi-department, multi-product mega-company, but the stain that this caused has muddied their waters across the board. I wonder just how much they lost trying to "protect" their product against the average (foaming-at-the-mouth pirating) consumer.

Interestingly, this was also the issue that blew the whistle on the supposed anti-spyware/anti-virus companies. NONE of them caught this thing. It took a curious techie at Sysinternals to nail Sony to the wall. Sysinternals has been making the BEST freeware Win32 utils for years, and they used their own tools to "root" out Sony. In the wake of this, it's not surprising that MS purchased Sysinternals.

How can we as the music buying public make it clear to the RIAA that we believe that artists happen to be THE crucial piece of the music puzzle? The RIAA is not fit to manage the music industry's music talent (i.e., the artists), particularly given their track record over the last decade. It's past time for a completely new paradigm of music production and distribution, without the RIAA.

The RIAA is the real Big Brother in today's world, despite GWB's best efforts. The guys running the music industry do not inspire my trust. Instead, they provoke my disgust. If only the consumers got burned by the RIAA, that would be bad enough. But the RIAA actually screws over musicians (they OWN DAMN BREAD AND BETTER!) while simultaneously screwing us, too! As far as I'm concerned, the RIAA sucks and deserves to be "squirted" into a DRM coffin.

Man, that chair is absolutely lame! The laptop specs suck, the chair design sucks, and putting them together doesn't make either any better. Hell, with laptop specs like that, the $100 laptop would be a better choice!

Just because the space elevator structure extends to a certain height in space to make it "balance" doesn't mean that we have to send people/cargo to that height! We would have one (or more) intermediate landings for various purposes, with the final landing WAY below the top of the structure, thus avoiding the radiation belt.

I'll continue to use allofmp3.com until one or more major subscription services offers DRM-less music(read mp3), at which time I'll immediately jump ship to that/those service/s. I am reminded each time that I use allofmp3.com that its catalog is not as deep as I would like, and yes, I realize that the artists don't get money from it.

However, allofmp3.com has been a reliable source of DRM-less music for me for 2 years, and frankly, I don't expect any subscription service to be allowed by the RIAA to offer MP3s. So, I expect to continue to send my money to allofmp3.com for the forseeable future.
