seems my boss got an iPod Nano for xmas. Which is very funny, as he is very anti-Apple. So he's bemoaning that he has to load Apple software. Of course, he's asked my help to tutor him in the ways of iPod and iTunes. Very funny.
Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Holy Shit: 150-Inch Panasonic Plasma HDTV at CES
Japanese paper Yomiuri is reporting that Panasonic will unveil a 150-inch plasma to show the world who has the biggest flatscreen manufacturing capability. That above is the photo of the now second-place 103-inch plasma as big as a queen-sized bed. (Sharp has the current title of biggest at 108-inches). If your mcmansion isn't big enough to fit it, don't even bother inquiring about the price.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm still stuck on CeeLite, the sheets of light.
Bring me CeeLite to light my shots.

Makes me wonder...how seamlessly can LCDs do this effect? What's their mandatory margin?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
150-inch plasma
Meep.
(And hey, Yomiuri has offices in my building. But I'm thinking the chances are slim that they were sent a review model...)

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
There are rumors that Apple is going to open a store exactly three blocks from my home.
Unfortunately, it's complete bullshit. Property developers spread these rumors to drum up publicity. It really isn't that great a retail location.
