Filter in Full Effect

Observe my swarthy links and scintillating commentary!

• Occasionally I see links to things that are cool, but I could never own. Things like wireless 5.1 surround sound systems or 10-megapixel cameras, which I would totally buy if I happened to be rich. I’m not, of course, but I will say that even with being really cool and all, both of those products are fairly reasonably priced.
• Perhaps iTunes 5 isn’t quite as feature anemic as I originally thought. It still sounds kind of lame to me, though.
• Weird.
• A very useful table of how to get to an actual human operator, bypassing the annoying phone trees of a lot of big companies.
• Forgive me if I’m misunderstanding, unlike HB I’m no biker, but isn’t the problem less of hitting the console and more of hitting the pavement?
• You’ve no idea how excited I am for this.
• Bruce Schneier is wise, and should be given attention when he speaks truth.
• Movie rumor roundup: I hope the nasty rumors about Spiderman 3 are false. I’ve heard that Sam Raimi has expressed disdain for multiple villains and Venom. While I think Venom is an interesting foe, he needs to be done right and Topher Grace seems… not right. Also, is it just me or does the new Superman look like a wuss?
• Spoiler Alert!! If you haven’t read Harry Potter 6 yet, move on! Otherwise, read ESR’s take on what the events at the end of the book mean (which, aside from the Lily Potter angle is pretty much what I was thinking) and also check out the spoilerific but super sweet T-Shirts which would be cool but possibly subject the wearer to beat downs from slow readers.
