    This is the kind of article where I prefer to read the featured discussions only. Thank god for that button.

    There are some enormous boneheads out there.

    Wait, you mean he's scared that the music he produced, wrote, recorded, and was paid for repeatedly from over 30 years ago might be pirated... When it is already being pirated... And that he won't get paid for it.

    Maybe he should have gotten that pre-nup last marriage after all if he's that worried about money.

    Mr. McCartney, I would like to inform you of some internet trends of which you may previously be unaware. It has come to light in recent statements that you may be ill-acquainted with some of the goings-on on the internet and have thusly made some poor business decisions as a result. No one could fault you, I suppose, as you were merely ignorant of how the internet works, but suffice to say for your own benefit, and indeed the benefit of all those on the internet, I feel it imperative to inform you of your error:

    Using the word "wap", Mr. McCartney, is a surefire way to become an internet meme. Real fast.

    I understand why Sir Paul is worried about someone wapping his music onto the internet. He feels that he is somehow being gypped. Not to worry. I'm sure he'll set some price on licensing but the lawyers will jew the price down.

    @HeartBurnKid: Agent of R.O.A.C.H.: Not to mention a lot cheaper.

    Hell, you could get two nanoPADs for what this costs. Granted it doesn't use arcade buttons or show its guts with transparent acrylic panels, but it doesn't require you to buy your buttons separately, either. Plus you'd have 24 buttons and two trackpads at that point.

    The sucker for aesthetics in me really wants one of these, though.

    I love the look of this era, too. The new bowling game for the Zune HD has the coolest loading screen that is a neon bowling alley sign that looks like it came right from the 50's. I love watching it so much I don't mind how long it takes for the game to start.

    Song is "Drop" by Cornelius if anyone wanted to know.

    Oops, people beat me to it.

    This song is making me nostalgic for my Freshmen/Sophomore dorm days.

    Fantastic photos. This is another example of the stellar 50's gadget aesthetic. Stuff of that era had this durable optimism to it; it looks built to last 500 years.

    Once again, I vote for a '50s week on Giz.

    @Segador: And if 50's week occurred over at Kotaku, it would be mistaken as "Fallout 3 Week".

    Then again, it could possibly be mistaken in that same way here as well.
