I'm not ... I'm means "I am" and that means you're doomed! Everyone who says "I am" is doomed.

thems some mighty strong claims, hun, and this is a mighty public place. and maybe your god wants to do its own judging. get the rain forest out of your eye.

The iPod sucess is going to be difficult for Apple to substain. Besides the iPod, Apple doesn't have anything else that is growing. I have an iPod myself (1st generation) and using it in a car is kind of a pain. I did a road trip from California to Montana over the 4th of July weekend and got a chance to listen to a good number of the songs burnt onto iPod - there are about 40 CDs worth. Put it on random pick and let the hours slip by. There were some numbers played that I'd forgotten about. Compare that to a 6 CD changer. Using that round dial while driving is downright distracting.
Much superior and much simpler carrying around one's music collection without hassle. With a bigger hard drive, one will be able to carry around books on tape, and even movies to plug into a local device - be it someone else's house, or the back seat of the minivan for the kids to watch.
That said, iPod like devices will be commodifed soon. It's inevitable. Does anybody think that General Motors, Toyota or Ford is going let some company get a royalty stream going on their products? I don't. It would surprise me greatly if something wasn't in the works as we speak.
As for Steve Jobs, he just another guy. His strengths are that he understands that being nice doesn't get the job done, and that underneath the facade, he knows that he is just another guy. Big ego thogh :-)

I bought the first generation ipod. 6 months later, after a long jog, I left it on my car as I drove away. After watching it hit the pavement at 50 miles per hour in my rear view mirror, I spent about 20 minutes retrieving as much of the Ipod as I could and put it back together.
IT RATTLES A BIT BUT IT STILL WORKS TO THIS DAY!!
Bravo for the Ipod.

He isn't caliming to be God or anything else...this is a title put out by a slick back magazine...To confuse ego eime with cogito ergo sum suggests that you are more than a little unhinged....Perhaps you should just go get the tin foil hat and worry abot yourself.

Boy was I wrong: I thought it was Lenin who said even G-d wouldn't buy the Beatles music.

The far left is quite a way off. Why would you imply that I AM a liberal? no pun intended.

Yes, I have been told that already.
Well, at least you're getting a lot of replies. ;-} That's better than being ignored.

I doubt it. There doesn't appear to be any connection between what Descartes was getting at and the formula for God.

Rene Descartes walks into a bar.
The bartender says, "Hey, Bub, ya want a beer?"
Descartes responds, "I think not."
POOF! He disappears.

Everyone who says "I am" is doomed. Neil ("I Am" I Said) Diamond is doubly damned, but that was probably true anyway.

Maybe i-theca ergo sum?
