The Future Is Now
May 25, 02:18 PMSo I went to see Star Trek this weekend — I know, you’re totally shocked, right? — and found myself marveling once again at my iPhone. It’s been a while, not because the phone is any less amazing, but it’s now an old friend, and I sadly take the amazing for granted.
See, there’s a great scene in Star Trek involving an antique corvette and the Beastie Boys’ Sabotage. It’s a great use of the song for the soundtrack and a welcome step forward for the Trek universe.
But the amazing thing was that, having the song stuck in my head for the better part of two days now, all I had to do to buy it was fire up the iTunes store on my iPhone and buy it. I don’t know why I didn’t have it before, but I didn’t, and it took all of 20 seconds to find it, buy it, and put it into my playlists. When I sync back with my computer it will go into my general library.
Simple, but very cool. Isn’t living in the future great?
