Tech Grinch’s Christmas List: No. 5 If I Did It

December 19, 2006

The countdown continues of the top ten things you can’t buy this Christmas:

Ojsimpson2 5. If I Did It ….O.J. Simpson’s book , which gives a hypothetical description of how his ex-wife and male friend were brutally murdered, has thankfully been pulped in time for Christmas and Judith Regan, the publisher behind it was fired by HarperCollins on Friday.
But the title should still be up for grabs and we would assume any number of Silicon Valley executives caught up in the stock options scandal could use it to tell their side of the story in the New Year.
Come to think of it, a few people related to Hewlett-Packard could offer free serialisation rights for a book like that as a pretext for improving their relations with the media.

10. An Enzo Ferrari   9. Halo 3  8. The $100 Laptop 7. The iPod wannabes 6. Pleo the dinosaur
