Dell's Dud.
The idea that the iPod's position is precarious -- that any day now,
some cheaper weak-branded knock-off will knock Apple off its perch --
is exactly backwards. [Daring Fireball]

What's He Doing Now?
Today's quote of the day comes, not surprisingly, from Felipe Alou of
the Giants. The Chronicle this morning mentions that ESPN "analyst"
Bobby Valentine, who grins like a fool, rated Florida better than San
Francisco at every position except for left field. What a joke. Alou,
though, put it in perspective: "where's Valentine now?" The Mets didn't
have, shall we say, a great season.

Faster, Pussy Wagon! Kill! Kill!. "After six years of self-imposed exile, Tarantino is re-emerging with a movie that's going to sell a mountain of popcorn, one so over-the-top it might bring Bill Bennett out of his self-imposed exile. Tarantino's new Kill Bill, in theaters next Friday, is probably the most violent movie ever made by an American studio. It's definitely the first one to merge the talents of Uma Thurman, David Carradine, and Zamfir the Master of the Pan Flute, precariously balancing them all on a sword's edge." —Village Voice [Follow Me Here...]
Tarantino was a riot on Jay Leno the other night. It took Jay a few minutes, but he finally said, "Quentin are you drunk?" And indeed he seemed to be. Tarantino's spin was terrific, and very Tarantino. He said that he was trying to revive the old Johnny Carson tradition, with someone like Oliver Reed appearing drunk every now and then. It was a fun performance, especially watching Kevin Bacon in the background trying to make sense of it.
