Although I am an Apple product user for the past 24+ years I think both companies should be reprimanded for coming out with such ads. I think it is always a bad idea to make fun of the competition, no matter how true the points are.

1. Possibly, there were a lot of wierd things surrounding him. 2. I don't think so. 3. I'm not sure that it absolves him, but I think it is possible to just look at who he was before all the trouble began.

I'll answer #1 by saying that he slept in a bed with children behind closed doors. Why isn't that bad enough for people?

I remember my friend throwing out a Milli Vanilli CD after their scandal. His mom asked, "Why? It's still the same music." Pop music is so much about image, and Michael's image wasn't so great until his passing. Now it seems public memory of him will be unsullied. De mortuis nil nisi bonum, I guess.

1unknown due to his level of wierdness. 2 who cares aren't a lot of celebs on something or another. 3 no but we can love him as a performer and hate him as a person.

Hemingway was an asshole too but no one questions his contributions. People need to learn to separate the product from the person.

1. Of course not, 2. possibly if not likely. 3. His music does not absolve his mistakes but to many of us, he was nostagia of our childhood.
- Paul L. McCord Jr.
I agree, Gabriel, but it's tough for people to do. I still cringe whenever I hear Gary Glitter's "Rock & Roll, Part 2" played in any sports arena.

My TV's off today so that I don't have to watch the repulsive spectacle in Los Angeles.

1. I have no idea. I find some of his actions questionable, but I find the actions of some of those parents just as questionable, if not more. 2. Once again, I have no idea. 3. If he's guilty of those two, of course it doesn't absolve him. But the same way it doesn't absolve him, those actions also don't take away his pure genius and what he's contributed to music, charities and the world.

I had Marmite when I was in NZ... I wasn't impressed :)

Tim, Marmite and Vegemite do not taste the same! :-)

"He just smiled and gave me a vegemite sandvitch and he said "Do you come from a land down under...""
- Alex Scoble
I grew up on Marmite. Must try Vegemite someday. Kate, how is it different?
- Chris Baskind
Chris ... flavour. There's another 'something' in there that makes it different ... hard to describe without sounding wanky ... like the difference between one wine and another of the same varietal. :-)
- Kate Foy
I'll have to find some online. Am gonna. :-)
- Chris Baskind
Chris, enjoy! I believe a 'new' Vegemite is being planned for release. Not sure what that's going to taste like tho' ... understand it's going to have cream cheese in the mix. Oh, the heresy!
- Kate Foy
And on that note, I'm off to have some Vegemite toast for breakfast. Cheers!

Trying to find a way to record audio playing in OS X (say from MySpace) and export it to MP3. Suggestions? Audacity doesn't work like it does on Windows (my only complaint)...
Human rights groups say Iran executes more people than every country in the world apart from China.
- Mark
Liking to bring attention to this, not because I really like it.
- Jason Huebel
Dunno, its a quote from the BBC article. My point kinda was we all demonize Iran in the media, but our Chinese allies are no angels.
- Mark
Iran's not the only ones who hang people for this offense. It would be interesting to see a study on what kind of effect this type of harsh penalty has on the market

Way to Alienate the audience you're trying to obtain Murphy-Goode. Epic Fail!
- Liam M
They wouldn't have someone picked, that would be fraud (and is illegal). But corporations always have escape clauses, which backfire very hard on the Interwebs. Just because it's legal doesn't mean its fair. Rule 10 at http://www.areallygoodejob.com/finepri... will push them into an epic fail.

i'd say some geeks gotta pull together & make a rival winery startup... call it smurfy-badde.
- sɹǝɥʇɐǝɟʞɔɐןq
But Veronica - I made this point in one of Scoble's threads - Murphy/Goode is in a business where bad pub = good pub. So no amount of ill will created by this will hurt them. The more it's screamed from the roof tops of every podcast, tweet, and thread, it just puts the name MG in people's head. Then then next time I'm in the market for a bottle of wine, me not being a wine expert will...
