Reviewing the news...

Myke's 'blob.

Reviewing the news... Wed, Sep 19. 2007

- We had it coming: Ottawa gets sued for cancelling the Light-Rail Project. And we deserve it too. I'm sure delaying or modifying the contract were viable alternatives.

- I've always agreed that competing with music piracy is really the only way to beat it. Trent Reznor would rather people not pay to download his music online in lieu of getting gouged $30 for a $0.05 piece of plastic. (Curiously he suggests P2P networks rather than supporting piracy-for-profit CD sellers) Then there's these fools, who think actively fighting the iPod is somehow going to result in commercial success. See ya later.

- Apparently the Feds are trying to dodge due process to get at ISPs' customer data. I'll be paying attention to this one for sure.

- It's been a bad week for power: Toronto, Saskatchewan, and Toronto again - and it's only half over! :-(

- iPhone is coming to Europe. Not a chance for Canada - not that I'm surprised, but I'm very disappointed that Palm killed the Foleo - I could've certainly hacked used one!

- Oh well, guess I'll use the money to buy an iPoser iPod Touch instead. Delicious. Too bad the iPhone below isn't mine. (But I sure had a bunch of you ;-) )

Haven't actually 'officially' launched it yet. I think it's only been up for 2 or 3 weeks. (Yes, I went and back-posted a bunch of stuff)

Damn you! You DID get me. Here I was thinking, well, no, maybe he just got the touch, but there's a dial pad... must be an iPhone....

Whose iPhone did you steal?

Was at a sales meeting, and they guy was doing the whole casual "let me check what time it is on my $600 timepiece" subtle move.

There were 9 people in that meeting... and only the two CEOs really did any talking.
