Music industry group proposes a logo to address growing complaints over copy-protected CDs [CNET News.com]
How about a big "Ghostbusters" style "No" logo with dollar signs, with the words, "Don't buy me" underneath?

Morning coffee notes ...?
Yesterday I read on Brent Simmons' personal site that Joel had dissed the Mac again, saying you had to be a hobbyist to develop for it, because you certainly can't make a living selling software for it. Now Windows, there's a platform a developer can profit on, posits Joel....
?Further, as I said on Brent's site, today's Mac market is ten times the size of the PC market in 1982, the one that made Mitch Kapor a mega-gazillionaire with his hit spreadsheet, Lotus 1-2-3. The Mac market may actually be 100 times the size of that market. Further, it's a lot easier to reach Mac users through free marketing channels, the kinds of channels a sole practitioner like Brent can afford.
Basically, Joel is a thoughtless self-congratulatory Windows-only developer with Mac envy. But we love him anyway because he does it so well. 
I can't really quote much of it, as it's an awesome piece of work.
Y'know, there are times I've kinda felt like Dave was still a little bitter about the Mac, but he seems way over it! "sidesmiley"
