still think ryan has a valid point — you say record co.’s claim apple takes 30 off the top from them also. i say the day you can believe anything the RIAA, MPAA, a record, movie or tv company tells you is the day you’ll also probably win the lottery. remember, these are the bastards who told sigourney weaver & crew on the film “alien,” then the largest grossing sci-fi film of all time, to work for scale and take points on the NET instead of the GROSS and they’d all end up rich. and on paramount’s books, cooked and simmered to a fine reduction, that film still shows as a loss, believe it or not, and therefore there is no NET, so they all saw nada.

if movie/tv/record companies say someone took 30% from them, be sure it was pretty much 30% of nothing. ‘sides, those contracts with apple have been negotiated and re-negotiated several times over since then. think apple hasn’t sweetened the deal to keep them in the fold an bring nbc/universal back? trust me, there was some bending over backward to perform unnatural acts on both sides of the fence in these deals.

get a grip duudes.

What – you don’t have an iPhone you say? You can view a strange demo of the site’s functionality via YouTube. You can also register for Web site updates directly from your iPhone, if you desire.

Microsoft learned their lesson. Apple will soon learn theirs, I reckon.

Heh. I just used “reckon” in a sentence, y’all.

Vote no.

I heard he might actually look healthy to you. Whatever shall you do? But I have faith in you. You will find something worthy of ValleyWag. By the way, I hear they’re hiring. Better keep your ‘options’ open.

Blen.

Some dudes here like to insult Dan which is not cool. Hey, man’s got a new job at Newsweek, has ropes to learn, kids to juggle, columns to write. This stuff here is pro bono, alright? Give him some space. I want FSJ back too but it ain’t gonna happen. Man’s got a literary talent brewing. New cubicle, new paycheck, it takes time to adapt. Yes, recent posts stink somewhat but that’s churn, you know that stuff you get out of the muffler when you first start the 911. It stinks but the stuff after that is a pure roar.

Alright? Dan is a good man. Let’s give him room (couple of bi-weekly paychecks) before we send him to a writing course. I am sure he is not going to need it.

Love, peace, namaste, ta-da.

Is this a good thing, the control? It probably is. Just look at how Microsoft dug a hole for itself with bogus Made for Vista stickers. It would be so nice if Designed for Windows worked with Windows. It never really did, since 1995. It was a disaster. Jobso learned from them.

I am not a Macer nor a Windower. I am Macwindoer. I got dual cores spinnin’ on both machines, dude. I love ‘em both.

Peace out. Namaste. Ta-Da.
