Daily Dork Report for January 25, 2006

In interactive design news, Microsoft announces a “Flash Killer“? Please. Adobe tried it, failed, and resorted to buying their only competetor Macromedia. Can somebody please explain to me how that’s legal? So I suppose one way to look at things is that a resumption of competition is good news.

Yo, watch the way I navigate! The new Gorillaz EP Feel Good Inc is new to the iTunes Music Store. Kudos to the iTMS for carrying more music otherwise only available on pricy imports.

Memo to Costco: what with your fancy-pants biometrics technology (no longer online: money.cnn.com/2006/01/24/magazines/fortune/pluggedin_fortune_biometrics/ and all, keep an eye out for that crazy Wendy’s lady [link no longer online: english.aljazeera.net/NR/exeres/148A8A21-6BF1-4651-B2FD-99BC3BC6357F.htm]. It’s gotta be a big-time world-spanning meme if it hits Aljazeera.

Better pundits than I have surely already opined at great length at this, but isn’t it odd Google will accommodate China (no longer online: money.cnn.com/2006/01/25/news/international/google_china.reut/) but fight for its right to party in the US?

Snakes on a mutha#*$&ing Plane! (no longer online: wigu.com/overcompensating/2005/09/snakes-on-plane.html) Another piece de resistance from New Line Cinema. I gotta get me one a these mutha&$#@s! (no longer online: topatoco.com/snakes.htm)

Maybe I was wrong to have such a pet peeve with sci-fi films with efficient public transportation set only about 10 years in the future.
