Some people are just in their element in certain media. For example, Dave Chapelle was/is pretty good at stand-up. But with TV skit comedy, he's in his element, and utterly hilarious. Seinfeld isn't that great of a stand-up comic, but with an episodic TV show about nothing he was brilliant. Conversely Robin Williams is a decent comic actor, but his stand-up is simply amazing.
Interjection by Dan: "Why are so many DJs for rappers white or Asian? Because it involves technical complexity!"
We were watching DMX on the Chapelle show.
I had a point to all of this, but I lost it. Damn it all.
Microsoft is playing catch-up again. They're no longer young and innovative. They can't compete. They're going to try to get into the online music store business. I mean, how can anyone consider them a good investment? They're a stagnant company. The only thing keeping them afloat is bureaucratic inertia and so on. Within 15 years, they'll have lost the gigantic lead on the desktop which they've enjoyed for so long, then they'll have an excuse to do some restructuring, slim down everything, and become competetive again. Unless they manage to illegally maintain their monopoly. But what the hell do I know? Anyway, what I was talking about originally is that their music store is coming out a year too late, they don't have a killer profit-making device to add on to it (ala iPod), and it's getting released as a beta. What the hell are they thinking? Oh well, they have the billions, not me.

yeah, Dan is pretty good at making people forget what the point of the argument was.
