    What a steaming pile of..

    Since when is Adobe a content publisher/distributor? Why does everyone have the hubris to believe they can put up a store, and it will instantly generate wheelbarrows full of cash for them? Wow, does this ever feel like the "if you build it, they will come" ethos of six years ago that led to tens of thousands of what - eBay junkies and Yahoo! Stores? And Adobe, stop distracting yourself by trying to change your business model every eighteen months. Build Photoshop for Linux.

    Anyone besides me...

    ... notice the liberal tilt that a number of these front-page items have?

    Who'd want to open up a web page and see tubbyf*ck malcontent Michael Moore's kisser if they're trying to sell something?

    Geez...US News and World Report is right there, too. Give me a break. Ann Coulter will probably be there next week. Why are you wing nuts always so quick to jump to the "left wing bias" card?

    Oh, and by the way, Michael Moore sells A LOT of books. Which is why his face is there.
