It's my estimation that... every man ever got a statue made of him, was one kind of sumbitch or another.

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

Here's a question that shows how anal I am. When you upgrade a song, does it preserve the song's stats? (Date added, play count, rating, etc.)

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Yes!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Does iTunes tell you automatically which of your songs can be upgraded, or is it something you have to ask it?

[nevermind, I see the upgrade button in the iTunes store now]

Hey. New board.

That Palm thing is... odd. I have a Treo, and use it fairly often for email and web browsing, but I don't really want this. On the occasions I need a full-sized computer... I have my full-sized computer. And I already know how to use my Treo as a modem for it.

Underwhelmed indeed.

On the plus side, whatever Apple said today at that same event helped it gain ANOTHER $4 in stock price. I bought 10 shares at $90 about a month ago in my retirement account - today it hit $118.77. I really wish I had bought more than 10 shares.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

There are news reports that iphones will be carrying 3rd party software. That might have done it.

Trust my rage

Is it true you can buy an iPhone tomorrow?

Apple has said that the iPhone would be available in June, but they never said when in June.

June 30 is more likely than June 1.

Trust my rage

That's what I saw online, but I could have sworn I just heard the guy on radio say "If you are one of the lucky ones in line at the Apple store tomorrow, you can leave with a new iPhone"

Which also got me wondering if you buy the iPhone from Apple or CIngular/AT&T.

Either.
