For a minute I thought they had taken the Tom Baker scarf patterns off line...

I hate it when companies do lousy things like this. I boycotted Circuit City in 1996 over a matter of $2, and subsequently bought a few thousand dollars of electronics over the years from anyone but them. I boycotted Sony recently over their shady business practices and didn't consider then when buying a $3000 TV.

To rebut your statement: Steampunk was cool: is now cool and will remain cool."

You're overthinking it. Cool is not about design movements, cool is not about popularity. Cool is just cool. You feel it in your gut. Like pr0n, it's impossible to describe but you know it when you see it. Remember when Fonzi was cool?

It amazing after all these years how much computer graphics has changed...and STILL look fake (c:

Did you ever listen to Napalm Death's first album? All the songs are exactly as long as they need to be...some are 4 seconds long, some are 3:59, some are 1:47.

That's the way all music should be. Haven't you ever thought to yourself, this riff is cool but after a minute you're sick of it? How many times do you only listen to the beginning of a song on your iPod and then skip ahead?
