- “So if you take Wikipedia as a kind of unit, all of Wikipedia, the whole project—every page, every edit, every talk page, every line of code, in every language that Wikipedia exists in—that represents something like the cumulation of 100 million hours of human thought. … And television watching? Two hundred billion hours, in the U.S. alone, every year. Put another way, now that we have a unit, that's 2,000 Wikipedia projects a year spent watching television.”

- “If the pristine musicality of the first version and the rich sonority of the second situate the simple melody in a sound world that connects it with the unpretentious yet satisfying harmonizations that serve as part of the history of the carol as a genre, the almost ludicrously facile approach to the final version denudes the melody of nuance, revealing it in all its banality; these are the trivial and barking tones of the modern insipid notion of Christmas that the Peanuts special deprecates.”

- <vito> were all the bloggers down on the ipod when it first came out?
  <vito> or did we not have blogs back then
  <vito> I remember Slashdot being down on it
  <luser> don't recall, you're right about slashdot being down on it
  <luser> "iPoop... iCry. I was so hoping for something more."
  <luser> "Great just what the world needs, another freaking MP3 player. Go Steve! Where's the Newton?!"
  <vito> BusinessWeek called the Kindle the iPod of books and I think everyone's forgetting that the original iPod was kinda assy, and the current rev, several years later, is orgasmic or whatever. I think the Kindle is the first-gen iPod of ebooks. It'll jumpstart the market just like the original iPod did.
  <vito> Everyone's comparing iPod of books to the current rev, which is dumb.
  <luser> "hey - heres an idea Apple - rather than enter the world of gimmicks and toys, why dont you spend a little more time sorting out your pathetically expensive and crap server line up? or are you really aiming to become a glorified consumer gimmicks firm?"
  <vito> haha
  <luser> way to be prescient, albeit completely wrong
  <luser> "$400 for an Mp3 Player! I'd call it the Cube 2.0 as it wont sell, and be killed off in a short time...and it's not really functional."
  <luser> "No wireless. Less space than a nomad. Lame."
  <luser> One of the "Top Five Worst Tech Gifts to get for Christmas in 2001" - TechTarget
  <vito> the original ipod?
  <luser> apparently
  <vito> that's classic
  <luser> so yeah, i think you're right
  <luser> people forget that it took some time for the ipod to take off
  <luser> they didn't break 5M units sold in a quarter till like 4 years later
  <luser> yeah
  <luser> ok, like 3 years i guess
  <luser> first data point is Q1 2002
  <luser> but they don't break 10M total sales till Q1 2005
  <luser> then they sell like 80 million in the next 2 years
  <luser> also i don't know that kindle will necessarily be the next ipod
  <luser> but it's certainly too early to write it off based on the first model
  <luser> especially since i'm sure amazon has lots of money to continue development
  <vito> well, I think the whole sony reader is a portable book, kindle is a portable bookstore thing is important. I don't think Sony is going to make an ebook walkman, and you've got Apple with the wifi music store now.
