Kodak is suing Apple, now. It only stands to reason. Have you noticed that several Apple products have sides at right angles to each other? Kodak invented that. Also, most of Apple’s products have buttons. Kodak was putting buttons on their shit years before Apple even existed.
I’m frightened, Auntie Em.

The iPad SDK is on the [...]

GoDaddy.com, which advertises its business using the most refined possible examples of skin, has taken enough of my money to assure me that my domain names are safe for 1095.75 more days.
