That's like saying "these mobile phones will never be everywhere because they cost two grand each" in 1985. The mobile phone is having a huge, positive effect on the developing world. My wife and I run a non-profit media company and we have a camera crew in Guatemala right now making a film...

Everyone I know who saw Transformers this week is asking the same question: What the hell was that crazy trailer with no name at the beginning? For those who haven't seen it, you can watch it here but I would wait to see it in the theater. It's probably the scariest/best trailer I've ever...

LTJ Bukem's/Good Looking's Earth albums were ok.

Exactly. I get the sense change is in the air and there's more to come.

Every political thread seems to turn into the same tedious series of 2,000 word posts on Islam vs the West, which soon become angry personal attacks, which get really boring after reading them again and again. What starts as a productive discussion between a handful of people soon degenerates...

Bush is going to do whatever the fuck he feels like for the next 18 months, all we can do is gird our loins and hope he doesn't start World War 3, which he pretty much already has. Didn't Clinton make some really dodgy pardons as well? Here are the stats...

I know this thread is now a total train wreck thanks to the usual suspects, but I thought this news was encouraging: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/politics/6258794.stm Anyway, sorry, back to glib dismissals and the usual bollocks.

Thanks mms - this guy looks very interesting...

"Nerds" doesn't really cut it for me. Bill Gates and the thinking he brought to computing were definitely not at odds with the way society operated. Before he tried to stop the Homebrew Computer Club using his BASIC software, the rest of the computing industry was treating code and software as...

New roswell mixtape released brap brap brap (explosion sounds) http://www.news.com.au/story/0,23599,21994224-2,00.html

Do people here really think vinyl will come back because you can't copy it? I mean, I get the nostalgia thing, but saying the handful of people willing to buy vinyl are going to save the music industry seems pretty ridiculous to me. It's like saying "steampunks" are going to ween us off our...

Academic research done by Harvard, MIT and other schools on downloading suggests that it has had little detrimental effect on record sales, and in some cases may actually help sales rather than hinder them - this paper for example sums this up nicely...

Well. That harshed my mellow for the day.

Tory Blair... There's a devastating nickname if ever there was one.

Over here it's the neo-cons and armchair warmongers who are the most scared of Mr Brown. Check out this piece of ill-informed, propaganda-addled extreme right bollocks to see what I mean: http://article.nationalreview.com/?q=ZDkwZmFlZjZhNGVhY2RjMDZhNDQ4ODZkMWYwZTFmNDc=&w=MA== But the article...

I suspect there will be an effort to bring war crimes charges against Blair as well. Not that I think they will get very far.

I dunno. He's remained tight-lipped on foreign policy. I think he could surprise us.
