neuboxen (indrema 2: electric boogaloo?)

Apex has shown its hand in the console wars. Well, not a console. It's a PC... kinda. An MP3-and-CD-and-DVD(-r,-rw,-+)-playing, set-top box that will be aple to play PC games with a feature called "drop-and-play." Patches and such will be handled automagically if the box is recognizes the title. Console companies make their money on the per-game moneys they receive, not the narrow, nearly non-existent margins of the console itself. Where is the profit on this thing? (via gamespot) Note: They Might Be Giants' live album, Extreme Tire Damage is teh awesome.

Guardian UK Article *vomits* Where is the line drawn between “public figure” and “celebrity”? How can a dead person have an agent, particulary where there are no specific works concerned other than a sense of character? It’s one thing to insist that Duck Soup is a work that should be protected (which any more simply means controlled by whomever has the most buX0rs), but shouldn’t personalities and such pass into the public domain as well? ( boingboing : Bill Gates 0wns Einstein, Groucho , Freud, Asimov, Fuller, et al )
