Apple has posted a.... hmmm... gigantic poster of Bill Gates with an arrow through his head on the interstate near the Redmond campus?!

That's right folks! 1000 songs in your pocket! Just don't do what they did in the commercial and dare put that iPod in your pocket unprotected! Apparently apple doesn't even know you're not supposed to do that....

i assume they're what got caught in the undertow of the latest major tiger release (google, espn, etc.). that's just a guess, though.

either way, is anyone else a bit underwhelmed by free ichat icons? especially when there are five million free icons out there, and basically ANY image you can screen capture can be used as an iChat icon?

i guess someone's thrilled about this. just not sure WHO.

That would be a great idea for an iTunes visualizer. You could revel in all of the music and album covers that you own! It would also be a fun way to browse albums!
