The Colour Of Space
chat 00:53:12
- Fletcher: And this color, red, it doesn’t make much sense to me.
- Low: What would be better?
- Fletcher: Blue makes more sense… Space is blue.
- Low: No Dr. Fletcher, Space is black!

[Social Network] Island
chat 02:05:06
- muttley: I remember ages ago I tried to get someone to buy an island with all of Google's money and establish a new country
- muttley: Except Google Island would be oddly boring and no-one would socialise - except for the civil servants who would have obviously fake "fun" during mandatory periods in the very prominent yet empty common areas
- muttley: Facebook Island would be chaotic and everyone would be out partying so much they wouldn't realise that the civil servants were rummaging through their stuff selling it to third parties
- muttley: Everyone on Apple Island would be very good looking and most stuff would just work perfectly. Except if you ever tried to step off the path you'd be tasered. And fat people would mysteriously disappear.
- hitherto: muttley: on Twitter Island all conversations would be mercifully short, but everyone would be yammering on about so much stuff you'd have no real idea of what was going on...
- hitherto: The other problem with Facebook Island: there'd be a very inviting-looking landing dock for you to reach the island, but a 30% chance that it's actually mined and will blow you to smithereens when you try to land.

- Anders: Hand me that roll of color quick, will you...

- Fletcher: I’m simply not comfortable with those letters, something is missing.
- Low: Well, yes, the cross stroke is gone from the letter A.
- Fletcher: Yes, and that bothers me.
- Low: Why?
- Fletcher: (long pause) I just don’t feel we are getting our money’s worth!

chat 18:29:56
- Tom: I assume I'll also have to download this gig of iPhoto again.
- Paul: How much is iPhoto standalone?

- Tom: It's hung in the background and has pegged my CPU. That's how I know it's iPhoto.

- blech: thinks there needs to be a new term for drinking cups of tea back to back. "Chaindrinking" doesn't have the right ring to it.
