This is what happens when software licenses meet the normal world: A chair with a license. It includes pictures of the chair, along with some terms and conditions of using the chair. Of course it's satire, but it makes you think about how ridiculous some of these software licenses are. You never buy software, you only lease it. Microsoft still owns "your" copy of Windows.

And speaking of Windows, there is news on two fronts. One, Microsoft unvieled Windows XP. And secondly, the guy who wrote the "OnTheFly" worm admitted to his wrongdoing. He put a short little message on his website, saying he was sorry, but amazed at how stupid people are to still be clicking attachments ending in .vbs even after all the love-bug stuff.

June 11th is the official release date for the Gameboy Advance. I can't wait for this major update to the Gameboy. Only 4 more months!
