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

Exactly! If you go by that logic, you'd never buy any shiny new toys.

Did Jobs talk about the Starbucks thing?
Starbucks will let you browse the iTunes store for free. Also, your iTouch will always show the current track playing in that Starbucks (and, of course, give you the option to buy it and download immediately).

I know!
But I am (kinda sorta) willing to wait and see what the next gen iPhone is like.

Um, not sure I'd feel real comfortable carrying it in my purse, particularly if it were on vibrate.

Well, I think the ability to instantly buy something they're playing would be cool. Otherwise... yeah.
Anyone else think 6$/hr for WiFi access is way too expensive?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Someone tell me if I'm in danger from my apartment. I turned on a lamp, and the bulb blew out with a bright blue spark (fairly new bulb), at the same time my APC unit beeped, and my computer shut down but didn't turn off. When I tried to shut the computer off, the APC beeped again. I tried to turn on another little lamp, but it won't come on. The red light on the surge protecter it's plugged into is off. I tried pressing the switch to off and then back to reset and nothing happened. I went to turn on a different lamp (it's quite dark in here) and it too blew out with a blue spark. I don't know what that means but it probably isn't good.
I've unplugged everything on that circuit except the surge protecter and the APC, which are plugged in behind the huge metal filing cabinet and I can't easily reach them. The computer only turned off when I unplugged it from the APC.
What do I do? How serious is this?

Call your land lord. I think it's serious, but the same thing sort of happened to us on Saturday, and I still won't mess with it.
