Yep. A lot of the time when you're "flying the plane", you're not really flying the plane* but doing other stuff with an occasional check back for course corrections (assuming no autopilot). The interesting stuff is usually at either end unless you're practicing maneuvers.
I think a different game needs to be played. The two party system needs to be broken by any means necessary, even if it means voting for people that you would otherwise consider unpalatable. Unfortunately, there are too many "lesser of two evils" dufuses out there.
I don't care either way. I just think the whole "squeezing the screen" thing is a bit pointless when there are other mechanical ways to do it. Heck, you could put a button or two under the screen if that was all you wanted.
They should have just sketched out some rough (but tight where it counts) specs for the controller, released to the world then partnered with a company with experience in the field (Logitech, Nyko whoever) for one to put in the box. Bring some real competition in and we'd see some fantastic options.
I think my specific example was VFW. I was several hours into trying to understand some of the inner workings before finding out they've moved to some new flavor of the week. I threw in the towel at that point as I was only monkeying around with an idea.
Roots are a mixed blessing too. I grew up in one place my whole life but it was a small place and whenever I go back there, everyone else has moved on. Just ghosts there now.
This is the problem with leaving taxonomy to straight men. Like we only see a handful of colors, we try to group things into sets that are too small and fail at the edge cases. We need the amaranth, puce and malachite* of species classification.
I was kind-of annoyed that they left that off but truly, I don't really miss it.
Of course, they also dropped the audio option from their newer e-ink readers so it's not like you'll be loading them up with large media anyway (and the media player was a joke anyway)

I've never actually seen anyone watch anything in 3d in their home.
Ah, if only you hadn't left the NSA before the camera enabled TVs came on the scene...
You should try coloring the on/off button with a green marker. It'll knock your socks off.
As a cheaper alternative, just poke yourself in the eyes with chopsticks.
The government serves the government, not the people. So it's a moot question anyway.
Why not rethink the organic part too?

*Always fly the plane.
Typing "Removes glasses, sucks temple and points pipe" just takes too long.
Seriously?

They're only dumb wedge issues when they're not your wedge issues.
Yep, the corruption is so bad that the only way for even an honest business to stay on top is to pay off both sides.
Corrupt government causing problems? Solution?
MORE GOVERNMENT!!!!!
When you're in a hole, keep digging. Sooner or later the walls will fall in on you and you won't have a problem anymore.

Indeed, there appears to be something of a selection at least one of which appears to miss the joke.
Hamberg...
It's kinda crazy and it's spreading beyond control (tip jars in a sandwich store?) but when in Rome...

This needs to be a t-shirt.
And by posting this, I guarantee that it already is.

It has the experimental browser.
No, this is where you keep your finger in exactly the same place but just apply a little extra force.
The Kindle 1 had this. It was called a "button".
