Me!

I would like stuff!

Ahh nothing like a good sensationalist story from Switched. Why bother turning on our computers at all at this point?

I seem to recall something simiar with Wikipedia and wrestler Chris Benoit a while back (here it is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/2007-07-02/Wrestler_death). I imagine this will become more common as the stream of info online increases. Scary stuff.

Wow. The console is as old as he is. Now I feel ancient...

Yes please!

Oh, so Chad is the one responsible for the almost pitch-black stage at the last Engadget show? I was there in the audience and could barely see Ballmer's shiny head. More light next time, Chad!

@Ben: Now you're just getting technical. It doesn't change the fact that the Open Office XML standard negates the need for an entire separate PDF file to be stored along with the document, keeping file size down.

"Wouldn't it be nice if Word, Excel, and Powerpoint did this?"

Uhm... They do; .docx, .xlsx, .pptx, etc. are all ZIP files containing an XML hierarchy, called Office Open XML. You can go in and change every aspect of the document _as plaintext_ just by opening it as a zip file. Plus, no file bloat with an unnecessary PDF file.

Love it.
