Any Technology that IS distinguishable from Magic is insufficiently advanced.

Hey Mauser
That version is clever and weirdly accurate.

Love the quote!

So does magic not really exist or does it merely denote something that is not yet understood?
Likewise, does a miracle cease to be a miracle when we understand how it happened? Or must it be defined by our absolute inability to ever understand it? In which case, calling something a miracle seems like an impossibly large claim.
Quiptoons that make you go hm.

Clarke has been labeled a 'genius'. If that's so, why is he dead?

Any advanced technology for which I have to read the manual/instructions is neither magical, nor sufficiently advanced.
Advanced technology to be truly magical requires making it simple.

Any piece of technology requiring a manual larger than itself loses all magical properties.

Thanks a ton for your time and effort to have decided to put these things together on this blog site. Josh and I very much treasured your input through your own articles about certain things. I'm sure that you have quite a few demands on timetable and so the fact that a person like you took the maximum amount of time just like you did to guide people like us by means of this article is actually highly prized.

Between me and my husband we've owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I've settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.

Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It's very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.

This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like 'Mixview' that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you're listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of "neighbors" will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune "Social" is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.
