Today I went to this Apple store. The sales people were nice and talkative. It was a good retreat from other places in the mall. I feel at home with other nerds. I talked with one sales guy for an hour and I learned a lot about him. One time while he was in California his brother downloaded a movie from a p2p network onto his computer and when he got home there were cops waiting for him at his house. It was going to cost him a $500,000 fine, but he explained to the judge what had happened and the judge let him off with a lot of community service time and a 3-month ban from the internet. He said that sucked because it was right around term paper time.

As he was talking to me I was stealing music from Apple. You know how you can play with computers at all the Apple stores? And you know how they have internet access on those computers? I opened up my Gmail, created a message and attached some music files, saved the message as a draft, then when I got home I downloaded all of the songs. You would think that they would have the music password protected…but they don’t.

An alternative and quicker version of this would be to just take out your ipod and put it on the dock that they have in front of each computer, then transfer the files right over. I wasn’t that bold though. Plus, I wanted the songs on my computer.
