I love me some Google Talk!

Yippee!!! Hooray for Win 7.

I want to win!

knift = knife

You gotta remember: the sling boys aren't running the show anymore, Echostar is. That was the hardware business that was spun off from Dish. With that heritage, does it surprise *anyone* they would knift their customers in the back?

And it is a shame. Dinosaur syndrome... the larger they get, the smaller their brain gets. Oh well.

Why the hate on Kath & Kim? It's not TheSopranos, I realize, but Molly Shannon needs work!

I love Old Spice!!!

0Lord, let me be chosen. I will be a good sport about it. :-)

It's doubtful that you'll see a [RED] Mac (desktop or laptop) anytime soon. It is my understanding that when a company joins [RED], they earn exclusivity in the product category. Apple is the only one that can make a [RED] mp3 player, for example. Gap is the only one that can make [RED] t-shirts. And, unfortunately, Dell is the only one that can make [RED] desktops, laptops, and printers.

Wow -- this is pretty overblown and inaccurate. If you do a little research, you'll quickly find (at joinred.com) that the XPS One and other [RED] products are a joint project between Dell *AND* Microsoft. You can debate the merits of Windows Vista Ultimate until the cows come home, but it is a part of Microsoft's joint participation with Dell and represents their portion of the product. The Windows Vista Ultimate upgrade is $150 on other systems (I just checked the XPS M1330, for example). The XPS One [RED] also includes Office 2007 Home & Student Edition (a $149 upgrade). All told, a with the upgrades, the [RED] system would start $300 higher (okay, technically $299).

There is no conspiracy here.
