So nice

Orbital - space tethers rule

How is this better than the WMM that shipped with Vista? I think this is only good for Win7 users who don't get WMM installed with the OS.

I have posted at least one solution that I haven't seen elsewhere:

No game is worth this. I hope game manufacturers realize this...

More importantly, the Xbox guys have debunked it. Check it out: http://gamerscoreblog.com/team/archive/2006/03/10/533618.aspx

Perhaps this post could be updated so I don't have to sit through more Slashdot-misinformation 360-bashing around the watercooler?

See, I keep trying out iTunes with every version, and find it lacking in many basic Winamp features. Beyond that, it's an unbelievable memory hog. The version of Winamp I've got can do podcasts and iPod transfers, great media library mamagement, and can handle more of my music-listening needs than iTunes. It's another case of Apple making a fantastic product for 80% of people, that falls way short for the other 20%.

Oh man, pretty soon there will be enough handy third-party apps and hacks to make iTunes halfway as functional as Winamp has been for years!

Your picture reminds me - that ad campaign is downright awful. I've been horrified by it ever since it first appeared. Microsoft is associating its product with "dinosaurs" and suggesting that people should adapt to Office's capabilities, instead of Office adapting to help you work better. Whoever did this campaign should get the pink slip.
