...live in Las Vegas now. Why not Los Angeles, where the movies are at?I wouldn't live in LA anymore. I gave that city the best shot I could. 50 years, I worked hard. But I found it a hard-nosed environment. And it was very hard to settle down with a girl there. All us actors were running around without any relationship because we didn't know which new girl was going to come through town for us to latch on to. I would have loved to have found a girl I could relax and be with...
...Absolutely nothing. Some of us guys in the movies got married, stayed married for a little while, then got a divorce, then got married again. It was never any trouble, you just had to be sure you signed a pre-nuptial agreement. Then, if anything went wrong, your wardrobe wouldn't go with the woman.

...highlights the much more logical approach of Apple CEO Steve Jobs, who chose to forgo such legal weapons in favor of a "fight-fire-with-fire" approach - Digital Rights Management, or DRM. This code limited the redistribution of iTunes songs, thus reassuring record companies that the online music store wouldn't be a total rip-off.

Which of course begs the question: How much do plumbers actually make...
...wouldn't be entirely fair to blame McCain for the bilious mess his party has become. The most vehement of the Republican faithful live in an alternative universe, fermented by decades of Rush Limbaugh's brilliantly meretricious baloney and Sean Hannity's low-rent bullying. As McCain's audiences went out of control, Hannity stoked the rage with a "documentary" about Obama that featured, without qualification, a poisonously flaky anti-Semite who claimed to know Obama was a Muslim. But McCain had consistently stoked the rage as well, with nonstop negative advertising and by questioning Obama's patriotism and trying...
