So here's us, on the raggedy edge.
One left her sweater sitting on the train / and the other lost three fingers at the Cannery — Neko Case, Margaret vs. Pauline |

Today’s Cringely column talks about YouTube and copyright, and references one of my favourite clips from Triumph of the Nerds:
Steve Jobs: The only problem with Microsoft is they just have no taste, they have absolutely no taste, and what that means is — I don’t mean that in a small way I mean that in a big way. In the sense that they don’t think of original ideas and they don’t bring much culture into their products. And you say why is that important — well you know proportionally spaced fonts come from type setting and beautiful books, that’s where one gets the idea — if it weren’t for the Mac they would never have that in their products and so I guess I am saddened, not by Microsoft’s success — I have no problem with their success, they’ve earned their success for the most part. I have a problem with the fact that they just make really third rate products.
Of course it’s available on YouTube.
