Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I don't think I would drink an opaque silver beverage.

Even if it were bluetooth compatible?

They could include a remote with an iPod-style scroll wheel, so that scrolling through large music lists on the TV is as convenient as it is on the iPod.

Now I wish I were a gadgeteering-type geek.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Sad an in'eresting....

Motorola Inc. was set to unveil on Thursday its first iTunes phone--a much-anticipated model capable of playing music bought from a popular Apple Computer Web site.

But the Schaumburg cell phone manufacturer canceled at the last minute. And the reason speaks volumes about the balance of power between cell phone-makers and phone service providers, a balance increasingly tilted toward the latter, analysts say.

If I only had a brain...

No to dead TiVo. Apple TiVo would be dandy, but seems unlikely -- more like wishful thinking than probable.

Apple, TiVo and BMW should produce a car. It would have the ability to "pause" a trip, by shifting a selector into "Park."

I want them to produce my life, so that there would be rewind and fast-forward functions.

The future of PowerMacs: (from slashdot)

Eug writes "Apple just released a new version of its CHUD tools, which provides clues about dual-core G5s and quad core Macs (dual dual-core). The clues include a reference to the 970MP, which is dual-core G5 with increased L2 cache. Also, there is now support for 4 CPUs, whereas previous versions of these Mac OS X tools only supported 2. This likely means we'll see dual-core Macs by WWDC, and possibly quad Macs based off these dual-core chips by then too."

Question about routers...

Is it possible to connect a wired router to a wireless router?

Is this just a fucked up idea?

help!

My boss has typed an e-mail in Microsoft Entourage, with the HTML turned on. It has different font sizes and bold and such.

She would like me to e-mail this to about 2000 people, whioch I have either in an excel spreadsheet or in Filemaker Pro.

However, when this goes to her computer or my computer, all the formatting is lost, and the email doesn't even appear in our default HTML font, but in, I think the fixed width font (it appear like old-time pine email.

What can I do to send this out correctly? Is there a way to merge excel with entourage?

Just one question. Any chance your boss would consent to using plain text email rather than HTML? Because HTML e-mail is evil, wastes bandwidth. Don't know about your customers, but if I've subscribed to an email list, having it send me HTML email is the quickest way I know to get me to unsubscribe.
