In the wild, mouse at the ready, hunting down links
Nintendo of America senior vice president of marketing George Harrison on the Game Boy Micro:
Because of its diminutive size and industrial-hip look, Game Boy Micro immediately identifies the person playing it as a trendsetter with discriminating style.
I can see it now: a suave tuxedo-clad gentleman in a casino at Monte Carlo sets his flute of Taittinger down on the baccarat table and whips out his Game Boy Micro for a quick session of Super Mario Bros 3.

Milan Kundera on the relentless flow of news:
The bloody massacre in Bangladesh quickly covered over the memory of the Russian invasion of Czechoslovakia, the assassination of Allende drowned out the groans of Bangladesh, the war in the Sinai made people forget Allende, the Cambodian massacre made people forget Sinai, and so on and so forth until ultimately everyone lets everything be forgotten.
As quoted in Jonathan Glover’s book “Humanity: A Moral History of the Twentieth Century.” I had to get the book after reading Steven Pinker’s review but I kept forgetting about it. I finally found a copy in Kinokuniya recently and it’s been well worth the wait. I’ve only made it to the third chapter so far but each page has left an indelible impression.

I said id stay away but i have to come and get a few things off my chest. … I reluctantly leave this once proud community we have here, i am leaving before this fragile house of cards collapse onto itself under the weight of its piracy. … And id rather not stay and watch the baby this community have carried over its 8 months of existence, to come out of its womb as an infected mutant halfbred child.
Enjoy this “tainted” community, im out.
But then again, maybe it is too late…..too late for the community that is…
