I don't know why, but after i7 went live I had a dream that I was being chased by a vicious dog.  I ran into a wall and had nowhere to run.  Just then I realized I had some 'shiny' objects in my pocket.  I tossed them to the side, the dog was tempoarily distracted and I got away.
I'll let all you arm-chair psychologists have your fun with my dream now.
