Hmm, $1,800 for either an LCD iMac or… an MTV computer! Now, which do you think your average college kid is going to pick? But wait, don’t answer so quickly, for you see, the MTV computer has ‘MTV-specific content‘ [Sidenote: remember when MTV used to be cool?] and their new music player. (And as a bonus, you get crunchy DRM for free! Never worry about having fair use rights again! Do your part! The freedom to innovate!)
Yah, this is gonna sell like hotcakes. Welcome to the 21st century.
Completely unrelated: Just got back from seeing Brotherhood of the Wolf. What an awesome movie. It’s very damn good; it’s beautifully and creatively shot, and it’s funny, and fun, and super-stylized, and stylish, and exciting, and utterly and unabashedly romantic and fantastic and cheezy; oh, and filled with buxom peasant girls… and Monica Belluci. What a hundred pounds. So in summary, you owe it to yourself to see this movie.
