I have the P5s, and swear by them, best thing I bought in half a lifetime - I even got some people I didn't even know to buy them in an Apple Store - but the the C5s have been the biggest disappointment. Try as I may, I never could get them to fit in the ear, too fiddly to install and remove, and because of that the…

The oldest is a shot of the Washington Monument dated Jan. 1, 1970, 01:00am. It came with the Photoshop "Classroom in a book" CD. Of course, the date could be wrong :)

Oh, you are totally right, and I know you are: we are meant to be self-centered, it is indeed a deep trait, and an important survivalist one at that, no debate there.

Well, Apple's fix to "antennagate" was a rubber band, so this is practically Nobel-grade engineering in comparison, innit :)

I agree the logo is ugly. I am afraid, however, that it fits the building well.

Aesthetics aside - I think it's offensively ugly, but hey, I'd pay $70K for Kaneda's bike so maybe I'm not the target here - I'd still suggest words have a meaning and "75mph" does not in any remotely sensible way evoke fighter jet.

Are we still nominating comments of the day? I'd like to nominate you, while we still can comment.

OK you got me - that indeed would be worth the annoyance alone :)
