Why'n hell are you boys gettin' into these type stories about astronomy and whatnot? I come to this hear site

to read about new tech and such, not old rocks and the universe, cripes.

Craig, Connery or ... Dalton? Vote now for the ultimate James Bond

Re: Moore

It worked for Ian Flemming; you know, the guy who wrote the James Bond stories? His first choice from the beginning was none other than (drumroll) Roger Moore.

Sean Connery was too dumb to really get how larky the whole thing is. Moore never missed a cue.

Pierce Brosnan had Ian Flemming spinning (not stirring) in his grave.

Re: Moore

I thought Hugo Drax was the best villain, certainly the funniest.

Re: If you read the books

the guy who wrote the books thought Moore was so so right.

this "event", right?

jesus - even on this site no one posting comments responds (despite the fact that it's alluded to in the article title) that this even hasn't even been announced yet...

I had higher hopes for reg readers.. I don't bat an eye at all the other (heh) fan sites when their commenters (or even editors, for that matter) just lock step in with this assumption.

I wonder how many at Apple are laughing at the foregone conclusion that there is an event announced by everyone but Apple for Oct 23rd? Why don't you all wait with the tea leaves for when/if they really do announce this event?

If I was Tim Cook I would put the thing off until January just to stick it to all the rabid gabby soothsayers.

"Uh, we never said Oct 23rd...(audibly laughing to himself)."
