robots would be cool, i suppose. I am reading this on my iphone 5 that I stood in line 23 hours to get. I got it at the Apple store. It is made by Geniuses (Genuii?) Everybody asks me about my thin new phone. It is thin and light and had a bigger screen than the crappy old iPhone 4s. sure the maps could use a little work and the lightning power cord costs crazy money but hey, I 'm hip and people adore me because I have an iPhone5 I'm sure the people who made it are well treated and probably just like me: 30 something, stylish, hip and know their way around a wine shop.

I started a wind powered Frak Farm. I grow Biodiesel, harvest wind power and use migrant workers to pump a USDA approved Organic chemical slurry into the ground forcing up juicy petrol. I get subsidies from the Government, the Oil Industry and the Sierra Club. I just sits in me easy chair and collect the cheques.

Good sir. I can quite understand your frustration. You must be referring to my dear friend Colonel Akbar Hottentot, the new Nigerian Head of State put into power after the recent Three-Days-War. I can assure you that once I receive your initial tithe to cover day to day business expenses and travel, the $20,000,000,000,000,000,000 (Twenty BaZillion Dollars) will be summarily deposited into your account.

This will hurt all of the legitimate anti-virus telemarketers out there as well as a many a wayward Nigerian prince. Perhaps an elaboration is due. You see I am a representative of the late Nigerian Head of State, General Arbach Jamani who died on 12th August 2003, I have been tasked to distribute the excess revenue from precious metal mining that the lord, bathsheba, has blessed our coffers with...

Neither DRM nor the Economy is to blame. I have an upscaling DVD player that looks almost as good as bluray + netflix. I also have Dish network HD. There just simply is not a real need for bluray. There was a very real need for DVD. i.e VHS tapes were the only way to get new movies. sound quality was poor, tracking issues, tape degrades over time, etc. bluray is only very slightly better than DVD. Also, capacity is an issue. DVD data discs are 4 GB (i know 8 gig, but I buy the cheap ones) for a long time DVD was an acceptable way to store large amounts of data. 4 GB went a long way for .mp3 files and 2 MP .jpg files. now, an 16 GB flash drive is $40.00 at newegg.
