Man Eats 25,000th Big Mac

post from Daring Fireball on 19 May 2011 05:04:38 PM. © Daring Fireball

Dan Gorske has eaten 25,000 Big Macs over 39 years — close to two per day, every day. My first thought when I heard about him was that he must be either an idiot or an asshole. But now I think not. I think maybe he’s a lucky man — someone who found the perfect food to suit his taste, an obsessive who never tires of it, and it happens to be cheap and readily available almost everywhere in the world.

AT&T says the charges are ?without merit? and says customersmisunderstand how data is charged.

It’s true. Every month my iPhone bill from AT&T contains dozens of small charges I don’t understand.

Kindle Claim Chowder for Yours Truly

Me, back in November 2007:

After chewing it over all day, I?ve concluded that Amazon?sKindle is going to flop. Or at least I hope it does.
What it comes down to is that when you purchase books inKindle?s e-book format, they?re wrapped in DRM and are in aformat that no other software can read. There are no provisionsfor sharing books even with other Kindle owners, let alone witheveryone.

They’ve added some sharing features, but right now it looks like the future of e-books involves proprietary DRM.
