Think stoopid: Apple's plodding 3-and-a-half minute commerical explains why you'll save at least 20 minutes by buying an iMac. What it doesn't explain is that YOU ONLY HAVE TO SET UP THE COMPUTER ONCE, while you suffer through lack of software developers for the entire life of the machine...

On Stating the Obvious, Peter Merholz gives his personalization opinion. Nugget: A Series of Sneaks - Spoon. Recommended by Gabe: "If'n you like the Pixies..." Who doesn't?

Mix your own. Nugget: Revenge! The Legendary Paris Concerts - Charles Mingus - "For years, tapes of Charles Mingus' concerts have been pressed into albums and CDs and sold without permission from his estate or royalties to it. Sue Mingus has made a habit of grabbing these bootleg recordings out of stores, marching out without paying and then daring the store to create an incident by arresting her. Now she has come up with an even better idea, a record label called Revenge! which will issue the pirated material in an official form." A pair of cool charts from Steve Champeon. Literary link of the day. Good idea #52.

Yeah, yeah. Everyone's all aflutter about drugstore.com, but when was the last time you saw the inside of a drugstore? Only time I ever go is in an emergency and I don't think that "Where's the Advil? My head is killing me," will exactly translate to the Web. Art wants to be expensive. Or, rather, the businessmen who drive around in solid-gold beemers because they hoodwinked a couple hundred thousand hapless consumers to go out and drop twelve bucks for a cassette of "Achey-Breaky Heart" want art to be expensive. Go figure...
