The only thingspinning is a chorus of iPod hard drives, or the ceiling (if you're friends with the bartender). via [MacMerc] That would feel like playing a guitar without strings, which I believe is something a person invented using six lasers instead of strings...can't bend the laser... 8:36:47 PM    comment []; Bluephone coming to market BT has re-entered the consumer mobile market with a £5m advertising campaign for its BT Mobile Home service and plans to launch its ‘bluephone’ dual-mode fixed/wireless handset early next year. The company said it is negotiating with the five UK mobile operators and expects to sign up either one or two of them to carry the bluephone, which will offer customers a package of fixed and mobile lines with one handset, number and bill.

It is understood that music is reproduced differently from fine art...however similar rules might apply for art that is produced on a computer, yes. 3:14:35 PM    comment []; Cacti reaching up....
