When Napster first came out, I thought it was the coolest thing to get all the free music one wanted. Then Apple figured out how to create an honest system with consumers still having convenient access to a giant library and those creating the music to still get paid, and I actually find that route better. Like Steve Jobs said, good karma.
I think back to how many times I've gone out of my way to help someone else and make their project or dream or duty happen and to get nothing in return for it, not even a thank you. But then I have to ask myself if that's what I really did it for.
I love science fiction films, books, stories -- pretty much everything. But there's a lot of bad, cheesy, and otherwise unwatchable scifi out there. It's a shame, because it gives the good stuff a bad name.
