  Certainly. I'm not sure what you are referring to, but, yeah, it's good (and natural) to have a dark side, as long as you don't hurt anybody. Also, dark is as "good" as light. Think about it for a while.
  
  That said, what does your question mean?

  That was a reference to something you said in the Interview. That was you, right?!

  Mmm, is the introduction of Sidebars and the likes not following Apple? My son, who runs a imac, seems to think so and he is 15 years old. Could Microsoft not have tried to take a leap into the dark and come up with a more inventive concept? The introduction of gadgets is starting to produce a fresher desktop but it has been done before. Is it not time to move on? I suspect that now Microsoft has taken them up Apple will move on and introduce something new. Sheep and Bah seem to spring to mind right now. And no I am NOT Welsh!

  
  
  Remember, Apple and co. are focused on the end users. They're not focused on developers.. I would imagine the difference between Widgets and Gadgets is not in "what can you do", but "How easy can you build this?" After all, it's this reason you can go into a best buy and find thousands of PC programs. and a dozen Apple apps. (I know, more than that.. Gimme a break.. )
  
  Anyone agree? (on my first point, not my cheap jab at Apple)

  Pretty sure that's for legal/copyright reasons...

  
  
  Not that you're wrong, but I fail to see how this is an issue when I can record TV and Movies.

  Nice job, Robert.
  
  Two things, second one being in another post..
  
  1) Any chance of re-adding that button to launch the video in WMP? I enjoy minimizing WMP and running it from the task bar while I'm working.
  
  2) Any chance at all at having Channel 9 being more PDA friendly? As in, if I'm surfing the internet on my JasJar and want to swing by channel 9? It's interesting to how it looks..

  Memory serves me correctly, Bluetooth is pretty darn slow, compared to USB 2.0 or IEEE 1394 (or "Firewire" for the zealots).
