While I agree this can be tough, I've found it to be an acquired skill.
At my job, I am constantly bombarded with unrelated requests while developing software, and I've learned to manage it most of the time after 2 years.

The software industry (at least the management) continues to treat the programming process like an assembly line. I think it's a lot more like writing a poem or painting a picture. But even if it is a mechanical process, it takes a lot of setup time to load up your mind with all of the relevent details (Physical psychology call this "working memory"). Then you can work on the problem. If, during this process, you are interrupted, even for a minute or two, the context evaporates and it will take varying amounts of time to recollect all the bits.

As an implementer (and now a manager myself) I have seen the most productive approach: give the programmer a problem to solve (not the solution) and leave them alone for at least a few days so they have time to think, to act, and to dream :-)

These headphones have a definite symbiotic relationship with all that duct tape they are wrapped in! Plantronics doesn't make anything that is designed to last a decade! LOL!

Yes! I just started using Linux two weeks ago after being an avid Microsoft user since Windows 2.0. I have to admit that I do feel like a bit of N00b but I too deserve FREE Software.

I'm pretty sure it would be rather easy to find out through the Apple 'grapevine.' I can only imagine this is already being discussed in @apple.com in-boxes upstairs.

Maybe I'm a bit slow, but I'm not sure how Apple is going to really know who the person Kevin's drinking confidant is? Kevin does not Twitter the name of the person, and nobody else does either, right? So what am I missing?
