Garnet Hertz: Control and Communication in the Animal and the Machine

I expect this site to get /.ed real quick.

This is both interesting and really weird at the same time. The one question I keep asking though is: Why?

Slashdot | Judge Denies TigerDirect’s Request for Injunction

Slashdot | Judge Denies TigerDirect’s Request for Injunction

Glad to hear it!

While searching for some electronics yesterday I saw that TigerDirect had a good price on the item but opted to not look at it on their website or deal with them in any form due to this lawsuit stupidity.

Not saying that Apple is totally in the right but TigerDirect’s timing on filing the injunction was deliberately staged at the last minute and designed to generate press by riding on the Tiger OS X ad campain if nothing else.

It did generate press. I will give them that. And as a result of this I don’t plan to purchase another thing from them.

And yes I have bought from them in the past. The last two (non Mac) computers that I bought new came from them. Pity they started letting the lawyers do the thinking.

QuizFarm.com :: What is Your World View?

Mine is:

You scored as Postmodernist. Postmodernism is the belief in complete open interpretation. You see the universe as a collection of information with varying ways of putting it together. There is no absolute truth for you; even the most hardened facts are open to interpretation. Meaning relies on context and even the language you use to describe things should be subject to analysis.
