Going back a bit to that list. The Blu Ray is doomed but maybe not for a while. Swinburne Uni in Australia has developed a new system that can store up to 64 HiDef movies on a DVD. It's all to do with different coloured lasers n shit like that but even though they've signed a development deal with Samsung, it won't be commercially available for at least 5 years.
And don't you ever stand for that sort of thing. Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back! ... You got the right same as anyone to live and try to kill people.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Holographic storage, which the Swinburne technology is a variant of, has been five years away for the past thirty years or so.

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

Huh. Sorta' like how AI was ten years away for 30 or 40 years. Now it's 20 to 30 years away for the last ten years.

I'm predicting that iOverlord will be announced at MacWorld 2015.

Yes, but it will be marketed as iProtector.

Nah, it's more like iMom, the friendly Apple application that tells you what to do with your life. Every major life decision is made for you by iMom. Because iMom loves you and only wants what's best for you.

I expect that iMom will keep you under iMom's wing. iMom will not let you fly, but iMom might let you sing.

Also, Apple will license a Laurie Anderson song for the commercials....
Cause when love is gone, there's always justice
And when justice is gone, there's always force
And when force is gone, there's always iMom
iMom!

I have an Excel spreadsheet currently formatted 90% from where I want it. Is there an easy way to turn a column into a row? (i.e., right now I want the values in column A to be the values in row 2, and the values in column B to be the values in row 1.)

Hey. New board.
You can copy and paste-special with the "Transpose" option checked. You'll need to clear out the destination space first (by moving things around or whatever).
