I don’t know if there’s that much wrong with this assessment. Maybe there’s a little bit wrong with it. But I’m a bit concerned about the potential for another G4 cube thing. Not that it’s my job to worry about it or anything.

I mean, I am of course going to buy this, but am I really going to take my phone in to the gym with me? Not really. I suppose I’ll buy a new iPod too, and this is going to be my “walk on the way to work iPod.” I guess an iPod in every device isn’t such a bad idea, but it seems like this is trying to do too much. We’ll see. In the meantime, it keeps me from buying a new cell phone, which is something I tend to look to do every year….

MacDailyNews | Computerworld’s Haskin: Apple seems to be repeating Newton mistakes with iPhone

Daniel and I spied this in our local video establishment last week. Applause to Ms. Alanis for supporting a diverse culture. While I’m at it, I’m including “Hands Clean” a great song and video.

Just for conversation…

Fascinating documentary about recent evidence of U.S. government access and review of personal electronic mail. News about the alleged program came to light when a former AT&T employee, Mark Klein, blew the whistle on what he believes to be a large-scale installation of secret Internet monitoring devices.

Now this is just plain silly. So people should get in their cars and blast their stereos instead? Now that I’ve seen ‘Inconvenient Truth,’ I don’t think this is a good idea.

No iPod Street Crossings

Take a look at this incredibly cool walk through video prepared by the team at DanielsTVBlog.com. An incredible ship that was part of an incredible journey.

From The Boston Globe this morning. Apple Store breakfast, Apple Store Brunch, Apple Store Dinner will never be the same*.

*Apple Store [meal] is where plans are made to have a meal at a restaurant close to Apple Store with the expectation that while waiting for a table, attendees will be at the Apple Store.

Cute. There’s even scenes from Xanadu, which makes this legit.

I came across this recently and really liked it.

There’s a Hindu legend about a time when all humans were gods, but they abused that divinity. They so abused it that Brahma the chief god decided to take it away from them and hide it where they would never find it again. Where to hide it became the big question. And the lesser gods were called into council to consider this question: ‘We will bury humans’ divinity deep in the earth, but Brahma the supreme god said ‘No that will not do: they will dig down deep into the earth and will find it.’ Then they said ‘Well we will sink their divinity into the deepest ocean.’ But again Brahma replied ‘No, not there, for they will learn to dive into the deepest waters, and search the ocean bed and find it.’ Then the lesser gods said, ‘We will take it to the top of the highest mountain and hide it there.’ But again Brahma replied, ‘No, for eventually humans will climb every high mountain on earth: they’ll be sure some day to find it and take it up again…’ Then the lesser gods gave up and concluded ‘We do not know where to hide it, for it seems there is no place on the earth or in the sea that humans will not eventually reach.’ Then Brahma said, ‘Here is what we will do with humans’ divinity: we will hide it deep down in humans themselves: they will never think to look for it there.’ Ever since then, the legend concludes, humans have been going to and fro throughout the earth, climbing, digging, diving, exploring, searching for something that’s already within us.
