No doubt Jobs' underlings are watching all of these events unfold in a spherical room filled with monitors, and they murmur to themselves over the success of their marketing.
@prince_of_paradox: Well, "finishing the job" was clearly hyperbole, but it just frustrates me so much to see people do such stupid, stupid things. I dunno, maybe she should be forced to wear a "dunce" cap for the rest of her life.
I don't think this was about an iPod. I think it's a story. What I really think happened is she suspected some weird pale Emo kid of being a vampire, and decided to imitate the book/movie, "Twilight". Sadly, he really was a Emo, and didn't jump in front of the truck and stop it with his bare hands. So she made up the iPod story. She now hates Bella and Edward, that stupid sparkly vampire.
If there's one thing I've learned, it's that if you want someone to treat you with respect, use every tactic you can to annoy them and make them feel bad about themselves. It works PERFECTLY.
It's kind of hardy to be an exciting person in England due to the lack of sun, but maybe they have all evolved to take advantage of it?
Personally, I like that kind of weather. Overcast, grey, cloudy, hopefully going to rain. It helps me justify my laziness. "Oh it looks like rain today. Might as well stay inside and play video games all day..."
Frankly, without BEFORE and AFTER comparison shots, I don't believe this is effective. I mean, unless it can take a fresh-faced teenager and transform him into Baron Harkonnen, it's a FAIL.
@Seraph: "While you're at it, give us an edit button as well?"
Actually, perhaps surprisingly, I am not at all in favor of an edit button. The Preview function--if and when it's ever returned--is MORE than sufficient to let you catch 90% of your typos, poor word choices, grammatical goofs, HTML tag errors, etc. Preview your comment, fix it as needed, then submit it. Done.
Once a comment has been submitted I don't want people to be able to go back and retcon their way out of their own possible lameness. That's because, once they've said it, others start responding to it. Nothing is worse than for person "B" to humorously take someone to task for some dumb statement, only to have person "A" be able to go back and erase/fix/retcon their dumb statement, leaving person "B" looking like an uncomprehending douche.
If there ever is to be an Edit function--and please, dear Giz, only after restoring the Preview function--let it be one of extremely short accessibility, like 60 seconds or less, that one has the ability to go OOPS and fix a quick typo. Nothing more.

Step 2: Put your owl in that box
Step 3: Open the box
And that's how it's done. (saving an owl)

Leg breaks, parent's response: OH MY GOD FOR AN IPOD?! HONEY, WE WOULD'VE BOUGHT YOU A NEW ONE.
I say good move on her part.

C'mon, Giz, when is the ability to PREVIEW going to come back? I mean, we had it for YEARS and then it just went away?

Are they still touring? I've been hankering for a musical presentation of Moral Re-Armament...
