  It's nothing.

  I suspect that Lenovo isn't being sketchy. It just sounds like a web-page screw-up or, perhaps, a translation error.

• On the post: US Tells Russia To Change Laws So It Can Say Allofmp3 Was Always Illegal

  Honestly!

  If I was... were... was Russia, I'd tell the US exactly where they could stick it. That an utterly ridiculous matter such as this is pouring into international politics may make this the biggest super-power hissy-fit in history.
  
  I know! Why don't we try and kick Japan, Korea, and Germany out of the WTO because their cars are putting our car companies out of business! Let's tell them they need to make it illegal for their cars to get over 20mpg.

  Experimental design

  I also see a problem with using only one person. They'd need a number of people willing to participate. I'd also revel in the chance to throw some non-audiophiles into the mix and see how they do in comparison to the supposed experts.

  I love to share!

  Mike,
  
  While I understand your stance on the law, I must side with Aquinas on this one and say that an unjust law is no law at all. I have absolutely no problems file-sharing. Hell, I encourage it publicly.

  Good

  Apple deserves the bad press. If for no other reason than they got into bed with AT&T. Me? I'm sitting pretty with Symbian.

• On the post: Supreme Court To Determine If Patent Holders Can Shake Down Entire Supply Chain

  Thank God.

  Well,
  
  Now we can only hope that the Supreme Court doesn't stumble along the way. I guess we should have at least a little faith. They are SUPREME, after all.

  Don't be evil

  Well, if Google actually wins the spectrum at the end of this hullabaloo, I certainly hope they won't be evil.

  Re: Re: Yup

  Thanks for the tip. I've been meaning to get one ever since I needed to prove to someone that Japan was just south of Mexico. That idiot.

  Yup

  Poland is quickly becoming my least favorite European country. Behind France. And Switzerland. Oh, and Canada.

• On the post: 40,000 Explanations For Why The Recording Industry Is Wrong About Business Models

  I thought the same thing.

  I remember thinking the same thing waaaaay back in the day when the very first iPods came out. Even at just 10GB, I thought how silly it was to believe that people were legitimately filling them up.
