iWant

New iMac: all the guts are right behind the flatscreen; no more half-dome. As usual, the US$1299 price point is just enough to get me to push the BUY NOW button to see what the specs are, and I find that I really want the high-end model of this “low end” machine. At an Osaka store I recently saw the previous model 20" iMac and was stunned into immobility at its complete beauty. I’m almost afraid to see one of these new ones anywhere. My wife would say, “That's how the getcha!”

Tony diTerlizzi and classic D&D monsters

sad fate

“Our legendary personalities are evergreen ‘brands’ with the benefit of worldwide recognition,” reads a message on the Richman agency’s website. 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?
