Killer Coincidence?

I was doing a little Googling of myself this afternoon and found this bizarre video. It seems a bit too coincidental, honestly. Watch the video here.
Radiohead Fans Have Collective Mushy Moment
October 10, 2007
The long awaited release of Radiohead’s follow-up to Hail to the Thief (2003) was on my iPod (and in my ears) 3 minutes after it was released to the world. 3 minutes. I didn’t have to wait in line at a Best Buy in the morning or wait for the UPS guy to deliver my pre-ordered album. No sir. I downloaded it instantly along with millions of other fans.

The Xbox ships with an ethernet jack and wire but the router was all the way up in the bedroom (which is a silly place to have it, if you ask me, Nancy… but I digress.) (Note: To save yourself the trouble, just pickup the Xbox Wireless Network Adaptor from your local Best Buy or gaming store.) Luckily, my laptop is always with me and they do have a nice wireless setup with some Apple Airports around the house. There must be a way to use my laptop’s wireless signal to get my Xbox online.
