You wouldn't BELIEVE how many artisans and makers were involved in the building of my computer. It may have cost around $60,000, but worth every AMERICAN penny!
I'm guessing "Head MotherFucker In Charge". Bringing the "HNIC" term from the movie Lean On Me (at least the first time I heard it..) into a racially and politically correct format (I'm assuming the CEO of VZW is not an African-American).
They're only slightly annoyed by the > 8 minute latency.

I couldn't agree more. I personally do not care for Apple products for the same reasons many around here often cite.
However, I think they have their place. When a friend or acquaintance mentions they got an iPhone, I generally think "Yea, you're probably better off." because they're very simple-minded people when it comes to technology, they don't really know what they want and are content to have things walled up. These are usually the people who would install anything that popped up on Windows; it really is better for them to have a walled garden.
Am I the only one who actually spends the time to keep my Start menu organized? I have root categories (Productivity, Utilities, Internet, etc) under which I place all applications. My Programs menu pops out to a starting list of main categories, then branches out into easy to find sub-categories. The first thing I do when I'm at the "Finish" screen of a setup wizard is uncheck the "Run {program x} now" box, go to the desktop to remove any icons it put there and drag its Start Menu group into the appropriate folder.
Sure, I keep 3 programs pinned to the taskbar, but I use the Start menu all the time since I don't want my taskbar or desktop cluttered with shit. Also, I'm a big mouse user and don't want to type what I want to run.
I want my 24" tablet which has a dock with DVI and USB ports, that way I can drop it in have it be the display for my desktop, or plug in my keyborad and mouse for full tablet usage, or take it on the go.
I can see it now, whipping out my 24" tablet in Starbucks..it would be glorious! Who's the alpha hipster now, biatches?!
Plus, since libraries are public funded, this may help to justify them when they run the reports of how many citizens are using their services. Much like someone said in the Comcast thread; I don't personally use public libraries, but for reasons of which I am uncertain, I feel they're important and should stick around.
I know what you mean, it felt the same way when I started. I was sitting there, wondering how to get more of my Facebook people over to G+ since it felt so empty.
Then I started following William Shatner, then Guy Kawasaki, Alyssa Milano, Tren Reznor, Wil Wheaton, Michelle Marie. It's led to having WAY more people I'm following and engaging with. It definitely had a ramp up time, but I found that engaging in posts was a great way to find like-minded people, and since I can follow them without them having to agree to be "friends", I began to experience an exponential growth in stream volumes.
Some of those people I began as simply following, have now added me as they see my comments and realize I'm someone they like. My Facebook feed is far more stagnant and less interesting than G+. I only go to Facebook these days to see what's going on with those folks who are only over there. As someone else said, I don't hope or want G+ to replace Facebook, competition is good...beside, thus far my personal experience is that G+ people are of higher quality than Facebook. Of course, volume and the fact that average Joe won't be on G+, at least for now and the near future, affects this.
In the end, Facebook was pretty dead for me when I started, as I've never maintained a huge network of friends..it took months until I didn't feel like I was in my own chat room. It was a similar experience for me with Google+, just didn't take as long once I stopped looking at it like Facebook.
Same here, I just received a warranty replacement Droid X yesterday and it came with Gingerbread. HUGE, noticeable improvement in battery life and overall peppiness.
Suffice it to say, I did leave the company because I couldn't take it. The company itself was phenomenal, but they hired and promoted from within the retail side of the business..so we wound up with a lot of people who really had no place in IT, but due to their tenure weren't going to be leaving the position for who knows how long.
I completely agree with this, but I also have an undying commitment to my customers and when it's my name on the application and as the primary POC, you better believe I'm going to do everything I can to support my end users in any way I can.
Yes, I could've lost my job or got in trouble..in the end, I would never condone it or defend it as reasonable, but I just couldn't stand to be shackled and ultimately cost the business more money by having an entire department sitting around with their thumbs you know where because of a stupid process.

Exactly!

I do love me some "horizontal gene transfer", if ya know what I mean. *wink* *wink* *nudge* *nudge*
Looks like someone still prints on analog paper. Get with the times!
Will you be here all week?! What dish should I try?
P.S., am I the only one who is uncomfortable with the term "dongle"?
No.

Have an Acer Iconia Tab a500, read on it all the time via the Kindle app. In fact, I hardly read books at all until I got the tablet, oddly enough.

I say we adopt the Nintendo cartridge connector as standard, that way if it stops working all you have to do is blow into it and you're good to go..
I'm confused, I have an Android phone and tablet and I'm able to do all of these things, we use Exchange (not via GMail).

It's everywhere, and replaces itself several times an hour. Thorium
