As we who remember the earlier days of the Beatles (getting damn old) it doesn't mean the kids of today know who he is. His last concert for me was back in the mid seventies when he was "Paul McChartney and The Wing."

I'm lost here... Because someone claims to not know Paul McCartney you don't want to live on the planet? I'd bet there are a good number of people in my age group and more so for those younger who have heard of the Beatles, but don't know the individual band members.

There are even more who really don't care for the Beatles music so they don't care to know much, if anything, about the band or its members (count me in that group).

I'm not sure why it would be any importance for everyone to have to know who they are...

Ha...this man (and his band) was active at least 30yrs before my existence, yet I still know who he is. So there is not much of an excuse for those folks not to IMO.

Granted I know who the Beatles are, what they did, and know their music, I don't really care for them either.

There are maybe 3-4 songs I like, but they just aren't my type.

My father always argues with me about it, and what they did for "rock" music and what not. But it's not like someone else wouldn't have done it. If Elvis didn't do it, someone else would have, if the Beatles didn't do it, someone else would have, if B. Sabbath or KISS didn't do it, someone else would have, so on and so forth.

    • Dbrand thought they could get away with this Steam Machine case, Valve disagreed

      Yes, it was amusing at the time because even then dbrand was well known for stealing the designs of products from other companies. That’s what they do.

      Didn’t Dbrand once complain that Casetify was ripping off their designs a well? seems pretty bad of them to try and get around Valve’s copyright this way with that in mind.
    • Dbrand thought they could get away with this Steam Machine case, Valve disagreed

      Dbrand thought they could get away with this Steam Machine case, Valve disagreed by David Uzondu Image via Dbrand Dbrand has cancelled its highly anticipated Companion Cube enclosure for the Valve Steam Machine, which it teased back in November of last year with a concept render and sign-up page, because it did not ask Valve for permission first before manufacturing the case. According to Dbrand, it took the "backwards approach" of building the product first before asking for permission from the copyright holder. Seven months of work went into the project, requiring over a thousand engineering hours from the design team. Workers developed forty-four sets of injection molding tools, making a unique mold for each sub-component of the crate. When the Companion Cube went live on Monday last week, it, according to Dbrand, quickly became the second-fastest-selling product in the company's fifteen-year history, racking up orders for hundreds of thousands of units. Customers eagerly bought the $129.95 deluxe edition or the bare-bones $99.95 version, which the manufacturer cheekily branded as the "Poverty Cube". It was around this time that the legal eagles at Valve descended on the accessory maker with a formal demand. The developer pointed out that the iconic block design remains protected intellectual property from the game Portal, so unlicensed sales had to stop. Dbrand said that all its pleas to salvage the project with the Valve team, including proposals to run a properly licensed release under official terms "with their blessing", fell on deaf ears, so it had no choice but to obey and remove every trace of the product from the internet. If you bought the enclosure, the company said that banks will process your refund by the end of this week, but if it still hasn't arrived in your account by then, you should not hesitate to contact support. The Steam Machine itself is a high-performance console that Valve designed directly to bring PC gaming into the living room. It was announced on 12th November 2025 (the same day Dbrand announced the Cube) and runs on the Linux-based SteamOS, the same OS that powers the Steam Deck. As for the price, due to the shortage of memory and storage chips, the hardware cost landed much higher than people were expecting, starting at $1,049 for the 512 model (without a controller) or $1,128 with the new gamepad. The premium 2 TB model pushes those prices even higher, selling at $1,349 for the standalone console and hitting $1,428 if you want the bundle.
