Seriously though...what's with people being stupid about social networking services? Juror's getting booted, athletes getting fined for tweeting during a game, etc. Use some common sense, people.
I dislike info sharing as much as the next/.-er, but I really would love a place to have the bands that I like listed to get reccos and updates.
Following independent musicians, gaming personalities, etc....that's pretty much why I use Twitter. I never post on it, but following certain people can be simultaneously entertaining and informative.
The Galaxy looks pretty sweet...but I'm excited about the plethora of tablets that will be hitting the market soon. Having choice is a good thing, and it will be nice to not have choice limited to a locked-down "appliance".
See, that's the thing though...his base intentions are actually quite noble; it's the completely bassackwards way he went about trying to accomplish his goals (as well as how he attempted to present his arguments) that are crazy.
It will be interesting to see how it compares to GoogleTV once that launches. If GoogleTV does even half of what they say it will, things will get mighty interesting mighty quick.
We use the surge protectors to help guard against daily fluctuations in the power grid, but that's it. If we're home and we hear thunder or see a single lightning strike, everything gets turned off and the surge protectors get unplugged immediately. The layout of our entertainment room allows this to be done extremely quickly.
Here's a picture of our main entertainment area. There is a plug right under the desk (which you can easily see), and the plug for the surge protector that the TV and modern consoles are plugged into sits at about the same height as the TV (it's a really weird placement for an electrical socket, but for our purposes it's perfect.) My wife's work area (which has her computer, as well as a CRT TV and all our older consoles) is set up in a very similar way.
If the weather folks call for thunderstorms to arrive while we're at work, I'll generally unplug it all before I leave in the morning.
but if I hear thunder close by, I just cut the power unless it's a laptop. Lightning doesn't have to be close enough to hear to induce surges in power lines, so I figure if I can hear it, it's already too close
^^^this. We have four surge protectors in our "fun space"...two for computers, two for our entertainment center (tv, consoles, etc). All four of them are plugged into wall sockets that are quickly and easily accessable for this very purpose (we get some pretty intense lightning here in Maryland during the Spring and Summer months.) We actually organized the layout of our "fun space" with this specifically in mind.
AT&T said Tuesday that any Net neutrality plan restricting its ability to engage in "paid prioritization" of network traffic would be harmful and contrary to the fundamental principles of the Internet.
Uh, no...that would uphold the fundamental principles of the Internet.
The Mousetrap was story that introduced me to Agatha Christie...she really was an immensely talented writer and storyteller. My grandmother collected her books for years, and happened to come upon a hardback set that included every book she ever released. It's modeled after the older-style hardbacks, and is absolutely gorgeous.

Sorry, meant Google.
Geez...Facebook has become like Xerox at this point. ::slaps self::
Sounds like at least someone has learned through the idiotic privacy practices of Facebook.
I'm just waiting to hear borked adoption rate numbers...it is integrated into iTunes 10, after all. Internet Explorer & Windows, anyone?

Watch Cannibal Holocaust for a how-to.
Sonic CD is my fave too. The back-and-forth time mechanic, the soundtrack...hell, even the cheesy cutscenes. They all added up to an awesome time

Considering how fanatical digg users can be, I can't possibly imagine why they thought it was a good idea to implement the changes they've made.
Liquid, paper tabs, gel tabs...it's all scalable, man.

What is next, are they going to patent moving a cursor on-screen to select the option to shutdown?
Here's to hoping they don't try to patent the process of submitting a patent!

Do you want everything you say and do at work logged every day?
If people's lives depended on me, absolutely.
AUUUUUGHHHH! I try so hard to get them all right...every now and then one of them slips past me :( ::hangs head in shame::
