Geeky Distractions 8/31/2007

Geeky Distractions… end of August edition.

Today’s big news is that NBC is dropping iTunes (no doubt cause of their stake in Hulu… nevermind the retarded name), and Apple in response is calling NBC out on its, to put it mildly, stupidity. Here’s how I envision the negotiations went:

NBC: We want to renegotiate our contract.
Apple: Cool, how about that iPhone, pretty snazzy eh?
NBC: We’re doubling our wholesale prices
Apple: Are you retarded?
NBC: $4.99 / episode is the cheapz0rz!
Apple: Seriously, are you retarded?
NBC: We quit
Apple: No wonder you retards are in 4th place.

Now on to some other news:

  • Rock Band interview with Harmonix
  • 360 degree holographic display
  • Morrowind speed run in 7 and a half minutes
  • I’m not exactly sure what Microsoft is trying to accomplish with this “Art of the Office” site that seems to be promoting Macs?
  • And speaking of Microsoft….. poor 360’s still falling apart, even after being fixed, or newly manufactured
  • Of-course it wouldn’t be a good week without a little Sony bashing… Lair gets… 4.9/10 on IGN. Ouch. So much for that amazing exclusive title.

      Zomg Art of the office is one of the most retarded ideas ever. Most Mac enthusiasts are outraged at the fact that the MacBU is spending time trying to find pretty Mac Office projects rather than working on the already delayed Mac Office 08.
