I think our biggest gripe is what the artists "didn't" do, which was create anything that could foster any sense of attachment. A scary looking preserved shark hardly qualifies as abstract art, and more importantly, I can imagine someone becoming attached to it.

It's not even about whether or not you "like" looking at the shark. It's about the reaction. I look at some sloppily and aimlessly brushed water colors and react in disdainful disgust (I did, just last week). Is that what the artist meant to do?

Selling the PS3 at a loss really helped advance the cause of Blu-ray, it seems. On Facebook, I once bemoaned the fact I would never own the HD version of Shadow of the Colossus as I did not own a PS3, and to my astonishment, a relative of mine came out and pointed out that she purchased a PS3 because it was cheaper than similar Blu-ray, and indeed, HD-DVD players. An isolated incident to be sure, but it's easy to imagine it occurring.

To add to that, the individuals above don't necessarily "make you gay," they make you confused. But, hermaphroditic beauty has always been extolled in ancient Chinese literature I've read. The idea of being attracted to this sort of beauty is by no means new.

- All manner of floppy magnetic storage devices, and to an extent, removable optical storage devices. Goodness knows how many 3.5 inch floppies I had as a kid (I recall finding one under a desk a few years ago labeled "World Domination Plans"), but today? We just email stuff to ourselves, or toss it in "the cloud."

- Speaking of email and clouds and whatnot, DIAL-UP. Takes up the phone line, makes a racket, and slow as molasses. Not that America's "broadband" is that much better. Six times as fast as not fast can hardly be thought of as fast.
