ShieldZone sells protective films for the iPod, DS, cell phones, etc. But these films are a little different... via
The invisibleSHIELD is the toughest, most durable screen protector on planet earth. It is made from a film originally created by the military to protect the leading edges of helicopter blades from wear and tear while traveling hundreds of miles per hour!
From a comment on Jamie Zawinski's blog:
Even though Gilette makes some of the best razors out there, I don't buy from them because they used to test on animals until recently. I don't buy products from Microsoft because they test their products on end users.
The other day, on MetaFilter, klangklangston got fed up with a self-righteous, technologically ignorant commenter who wanted to criminalize and morally impugn anyone who used an open WiFi spot. He was so frustrated, he turned to craft "Internet snark as cruel surrealist theater," in the words of another user. It made me laugh.
God, Twiggy, you're like the Idiot Pope, boldly offering pronouncements based on a defense of the ignorant when you only really have any authority if we've already accepted your moronic first premises. How's that for an analogy?

The Router and the Laptop; A Passion Play
Router— Hey, hey, hey, Laptop! I'm open! You can use me! Totally cool!
Laptop— Ok. Jesus, it's the internet! Awesome!
Twiggy, dressed as Abadea— But how shall we know that the Router acted not with the wishes of the Owner? We can assume nothing, for all men are fools!
Punch (beats Twiggy with stick)— That's the way to do it!
Twiggy— But, but, but... People don't read manuals. Also, I am sympathetic to the gamboling idiocy of the masses for reasons I cannot disclose! Also, TOS is, like, almost law!
Chorus— Twiggy, though you spin and spin, you've yet to argue out of anything other than a general disdain for computer users and several tortured analogies. It's time to admit that you were grandstanding on a largely unrelated point and move onto something else, like circumcision. Else you will be doomed to die, spouting the same retarded blather.
CURTAIN.
