ubuntu's Journal: NIN Remix, Redux

I noticed that Trent Reznor has remixes going on with ACID, the guys who originally made GarageBand (Apple hired ACID's lead developer, who managed to basically duplicate ACID on the PPC platform, add some iCandy, and then rename it GarageBand).

Trent's last outing made Slashdot's glorious Front Page, where News Of Great Importance(TM) is placed. Since Trent has done remixes BEFORE the GarageBand one, and he's doing remixes AFTER the GarageBand one, I'll have to assume that the only reason The Hand That Feeds remix made the front page was that it was directed at Apple's GarageBand. This remix being for all platforms, I doubt it will get any mention, as Trent's previous remixes for ProTools and Logic also got no mention, but the Apple-only remix was hailed as the Second Coming and a unique event in the history of mankind.

Of course, Trent seems amazed at the success of his last remix effort. What he doesn't know is that this one will be a dismal failure because Slashdot will not post it to the front page because it's not pure Apple propaganda this time, and thus he'll be about 50,000 downloads behind the last one....

Plus, I'm not registering on his site just to get the chance to remix his tunes for him. At least this failure will convince him that forced registrations SUCK.
