If you really love this like I do, go search "I Left My Heart in San Francisco". There a bunch of takes on it and that's the general melody going on. But yeah, the TPB intro is like a warm blanket. P.S. NP: Bob Dylan - Subterranean Homesick Blues

He's really anal about cable management.

For general use, that machine is hardly obsolete. I do my daily business on a machine with half those specs. I'd find a needy person and donate it or flip that sucker in the classifieds and get some of your money back.

When you decide to purchase software, you are entering into a contract, on their terms. The moment you agree to the terms, you have forgone any chance exert any rights that weren't specified in the original contract. I think it's as simple as that. If you don't like the rules, don't play the game. I think it should be the right of the company to designate what they do as either a service or a product. It's in a software companies best interest to define what they do as a service, because it's the better business model. Numerous primary business applications have already moved to this model and for good reason. If they have defined what they do as a service in the contract you agree to, it reasonable that they can define that they are not selling a permanent license; they are selling you a service, which includes a license to use their software for as long as they are contracted to provide such service.

It's not like there's a shortage of demand for any platform that offers a decent alternative to the status quo, which is pretty crappy. And anybody that's used all these sites overs the years would have a pretty good idea how to build a good user focused platform that offers actual benefit to the users, rather than the TV model we have now. And as Linus and crew have proved, you can do tasteful advertising the old fashioned way and not only keep the viewers engagement, but also actually sell products. They do advertising the right way. The same applies to any website. And you've jumped the shark when the platforms are designed to manipulate people in ways that exceed simple marketing. Not cool. It's no wonder people are fleeing social media...even celebrities seem to be starting a trend of it. So there's a market and more than enough demand for an alternative to the existing paradigm. The internet used to be cool and it still is, but there's a lot of suck and nobody seems to concerned about fixing it. It's not like rocket science. Good marketing is, but building a social media website is fairly established process that doesn't require too much genius. Is social media just a fad? Linus, can you build a decent social media site? All these other ones suck and they deleted Google Plus, which I enjoyed using, but it was a ghost town. I often wonder if that's what made it nice. I'd just use Twitter, but that character limit just kills it. That's why I never took to it. I don't talk like that, I talk in paragraphs, ya know? And all these algorithms and filters jacking up the feeds have gotta go in the recycle bin, that's priority number one. Even better is a system that allows a user to adjust his own filters, including sensible marketing choices, everything designed to be opt in. All the issues that make social media suck are easily fixable and there's a major opportunity for somebody with the resources to make it happen.

The writers did an amazing job on this video. Genius.
