Hollywood is inferior

CNET: Movie studios tout first DVD bust in U.S.

Inferior product? Um, sorry Jack but a copy of a DVD is an exact copy, bit for bit... it's exactly the same as the studio version. So if anyone's making the inferior product, it's the studios trying to sell crappy movies at more than $20 a pop.

Ivanisevic will retire after Wimbledon

BBC: Ivanisevic set to retire

His shoulder problems are forcing the issue. He plans on taking the rest of the season off until Wimbledon to rest his shoulder so he can defend his title.

Microsoft still can’t figure it out

I've complained about MSN's broadcasting of NHL games since, well since the first time I tried it. And just about every time I try, something goes wrong. Tonight is no exception.

They're still playing the Oilers/Sharks game from March 20th rather than the Oilers/Flames game that started an hour ago.

Fucking FUCKING MORONS!!!!

Update: In an act of total desperation, I decided I could listen to the Flames' radio broadcast of the game instead of Edmonton's. I'm listening, it starts off talking a commentator for Flames hockey that past away yesterday. Then they say they're getting back to the Flames/Sharks game! WHAT? Another Sharks game?

This is absolutely ridiculous. Does anyone know who I can email, call, whatever, to complain about this? I can't find anywhere I can reach someone even remotely accountable for this bullshit.

Rare

To all the people who laughed at me when I was buying tubes of Apple's Think Different Posters for $10 on their web site and from their company store, take a look at this:

Rare "Think Different" Posters

I got 3 words for ya: Told you so!

BTW, I have a "1998: The Year of Thinking Different Book" as well, which is listed at $59.95. Unfortunately I got it by trading a Bob Dylan Think Different poster which is listed at $199.95, but I didn't pay for the Bob Dylan poster so I guess I'm still doing ok.
