HOLY SHIT. Did I just get duped into some sort of illusion trick, or is Senuti the single greatest program of ALL TIME!? Did it just singlehandedly disembowel any DRM?
Am I able to just plug in OTHER people's iPods into my computer and upload any of their music?
P.S. Hsien and anyone else....Should I read the Watchmen graphic novel? I stumbled across the trailer on Hsien's blog and it turns out there's just this intense, fanatical following...how long is it? Is it the type of thing I would give a shit about?

It's pretty long. Comparable in length to a novel. It's widely touted for the fact that it's the one graphic novel that made Time's list of best English-language novels of the 20th century. One of my friends is a professional film critic, and he wrote his Master's thesis on Watchmen.
I'm actually currently re-reading it, coincidentally (borrowed from the library). It's been a few years since I first read it. You might enjoy it, since it's deeply, deeply infused with all sorts of moral debates about politics and war (something the trailer absolutely missed).
Also, the trailer is completely misleading. Either that, or Zack Snyder managed to miss the entire point.
Watchmen is not about a bunch of uber badass superheroes, as the trailer seems to indicate. It's about a bunch of 40-something former super heroes coping with living in a world in which super heroes were once accepted and embraced by society, but have now been legislated out of existence...all amidst the backdrop of Cold War paranoia (it's set in the 80's). Basically, it's a murder mystery about one of their retired own getting offed, setting some of them back into semi-sad, middle-aged action. I'm not sure what's with all the badass poses, slow-mo and young actors. Maybe the trailer only showed flashback scenes from their days of glory.
That's the impression I got from looking it up on Wikipedia. I'm not so concerned about the faithfulness of the movie, I suppose, it's just sometimes interesting to see things put to life, no matter despoiled they become in movies.
I think I'll check it out during my bar trip...
maybe for applepeople it's a first.
poor applepeople! victims of repeated attacks by an irresponsible, bullying, cowardly, and intemperate ceo, and abandoned by marketers, who placed them in a dangerous predicament and who knew or learned what was going on, and yet did essentially nothing except, dutifully recorded these incidents in [their] files.
pcpeople could always do whatever they were willing with ipods, or any other device for that matter.

J: I have to say I'm not sure I understand your position on this. I can't figure out what your sarcasm means...or...non-sarcasm...or something.
