State-of-the-Art Watch

A pilot walks into a bar and takes a seat next to a very attractive woman.

He gives her a quick glance then casually looks at his watch for a moment.

The woman notices this, and asks, "Is your date running late?"

"No," he replies, "I just got this state-of-the-art watch, and I was just testing it."

The intrigued woman says, "A state-of-the-art watch? What's so special about it?"

The pilot explains, "It uses alpha waves to talk to me telepathically."

The lady says, "What's it telling you now?"

"Well, it says you're not wearing any panties...."

"The woman giggles and replies, "Well, it must be broken because I am wearing panties!"

The pilot smirks, taps his watch, and says, "Damn thing's an hour fast"

Mark Cuban Suggests How to Kill the iTunes Store

Mark Cuban offers a wild idea on how Google or Microsoft could throw a monkey-wrench into the Apple iTunes business model. His theory: either one could write a check to the music industry that would match what Apple is paying - he figures the music industry take from iTunes is about $575 million a year based on the top labels market share of annual downloads of about 1 billion songs - and then start giving away music - maybe the first billion songs - with advertising support. An interesting idea; I wonder if people would feel more enthused about the Zune if they could get music for free?
