They only got 2500 people voted from 99 countries? WTF? and probably not the most random sample of people either… But anyway, it’s interested how most people in Asia are still brainwashed by Sony, you’d think with the DRM shit the brand would just f’king die. Also note that in Central and Latin America alcohol like Corona and Bacardi were among the top brands, that is awesome! It’s amazing how high Skype ranked globally too.

Blender is actually not a bad magazine, I had them back in Austin and read them… Maxim and Stuff are just for pictures, and they are not even good photography… heh…

As usual, the discussions were almost as good as the essay:
Comments at reddit.com on Graham’s “How to Do What You Love” Essay:
Paul: But, curiously, the two-job approach could be translated into the converse: “get the money, doing what you love will follow.”
That is very true, and it’s exactly what I have been trying to accomplish. It’s the second best, next to the 1-job approach. 😉

Verizon phone “upgrade” blocks MP3s:
Xeni Jardin:
Fred von Lohmann says,
Verizon users who choose to “upgrade” their handsets to support the Verizon Wireless music store are doing so at a tradeoff: you’ll no longer be able to play MP3s on your phone.
The new phone software prevents you from playing MP3s on the phone as a result of an agreement Verizon Wireless made with Microsoft, the latter of whom stipulated that if the Verizon Wireless music store was gonna fly at all, MS wanted to make sure that phones using it could only play back Microsoft’s audio format.
F’king microwaves, my WiFi drops like once every 5 minutes… Stainless appliances look nice but they leak like crazy… My D-Link thing from Amazon (what a deal for $21 after MIR!) should be here early next week and I’ll go old school and use ethernet, at least when I’m in the study…
