    First the bow tie, then the turtleneck--the only thing more famous / stylish than his neck is his computer.

    That was slashdotted yesterday. There was a mad-rush of torrents and even some of those servers couldn't keep up! It took me 4 torrents just to find one that worked and I got 250K/s download. An all-time high for me and bittorrent.

    Major Matt, the file server you listed is no longer available, is there any way to get that from you?? Thanks! I don't do bittorrent, so I don't even really care to learn how...

    You can totally tell Jobs is fighting back tears at the end. His baby was born.
