Flattened by Flattery

Wired: WinXP Made to Look Like Mac OS X. What's that about imitation?

Screw Flattery, the Governator Wants the Money from the guy manufacturing his likeness into Bobbleheads. And he wants them to stop being made, neverminding the fact that he's no longer a private citizen. Good luck, Arnold. [Update: Out of curiosity, I searched eBay for the bobbleheads and, wouldn't you know it, the prices have spiked on them very sharply. Think people asking $100 for a crappy little $5 bobblehead because they know the clock's ticking on their availability in the marketplace. Is it too cynical of me to think that Arnold did this on purpose because he's already got a secret marketing deal with the manufacturer? Nah, probably not cynical enough.]
