A friend of mine once complained that every time he started dating someone, he ended up gaining weight. I replied "Well, it's all that pussy you're eating!"
5. Only show pictures of the device itself plugged into the back of a TV, not with the required power adapter & cord, to make it seem smaller than it really is.
Why isn't there a clearly labeled toggle somewhere in the software?
There is. From the posts in this thread, it's clear very few Windows people know how to find the Preferences menu. God knows how they deal with other software.
That's your opinion. I always found it to be incredibly annoying, as it launches that shitty app every time you plug it in. You can't charge your Ipad without firing off ITunes.
Yet another example of Apple's holier than thou concept of design: "We know better than you do, about how you want to use our products."
Golly, if only there was some sort of, you know, preference you could change so that wouldn't happen. Mind blowing, I know.
educated young men primarily from Saudi Arabia. and they weren't nuts. they were committed to a bad idea, driven by hatred that we fomented.
They were willing to die themselves and kill how ever many thousands of innocent civilians to supposedly make a point. No sane person would do such things.
I went back to Samantha's and my room for a few minutes to search Sam's luggage for weapons. There were too many good looking women at the hotel for my comfort. Samantha is extremely jealous and twice tried to stab me when she thought I was looking at another woman...
Chills ran up my spine as I imagined Samantha sweet talking the hotel security guard into lending her his gun after seeing me glance at the undulating derrière of a striking Peruvian woman an hour or so earlier.
Yeah, that's someone you want to have around on the regular.
Not profits in real dollars, silly, profits and executive compensation as a percentage of gross corporate income. Funny how executive compensation soared while regular wages remained nearly static (taking inflation into account).
No it isn't, it's supposed to get you from A to B. The fact that can be made fun is a totally distinct argument. I highly doubt anyone has fun doing mundane commutes and sitting in traffic.
We (Canadians) don't need this at all. All the major banks are rolling out tap-to-pay for their debit cards, which generally have a $50 limit by default. There is literally no point for the Mint to go anywhere near this.
A lot of "professional" users of computers (doctors, lawyers, bankers, etc) seem to think that they gotta have really special software to handle everything they do, because everything they do is so special. Much of this is due to people who think they're smart being duped by people who are smarter into thinking they need special software. Is the solution here that these professionals need to do a better job of buying their IT support in the first place? Admittedly, there is certainly some software that has to be written for very narrow and specialized needs, but a lot of these needs can be met by pretty much off-the-shelf solutions implemented by people who know what they're doing. I think these professionals start off by trying to do it themselves (because they are smart, you know?), find that it's not as easy as they thought, and then buy into the pitch that they need REALLY smart IT people doing specialized stuff for them. I'd laugh at all this, but it's part of why our health care costs so damn much.
Since YOU are so smart, you've taken this opportunity to start your own software company to sell these off the shelf solutions and have them work perfectly each and every time, doing what the user needs.
No, you haven't; you simply have no idea what you're talking about.
I have a subscription to Cycle World thanks to my aunt, and I pick up Octane, Top Gear, and Classic Motorcycle Mechanics every month or 2, and the occasional Classic Bike. Those Brits know how to make a print mag!

"Page Rank" (get the capitals right) is Google's secret sauce, named after Larry Page, not web pages.
Or the stupidest one, "No copyright infringement intended!" Yeah, sure, pal.

They've been taking business lessons from RIM err BlackBerry.
But seriously, who thought Windows RT would go anywhere?

Apple not allowing the what now? http://extensions.apple.com/
None of these things will be remembered in 20 years as significantly advancing the state of the art.
Wow. You're really dumb.

(Also: Do you replace the engine oil and filter every 2000 miles, or is this just another way to squeeze money from the consumer?)
No, I do it when the users manual says to. Who came up with this 2000 miles crap? It's not the 70s anymore.
Ah, yes, "this state." And which one is that?
You'd think the Brits would've figured that out during the American Revolution.

Driving is supposed to be fun.
No it isn't, it's supposed to get you from A to B. The fact that can be made fun is a totally distinct argument. I highly doubt anyone has fun doing mundane commutes and sitting in traffic.
OK, but what happens when the Borg Cube goes up against the Death Star? What then?!
BitCoin is a nice geek idea, and like all nice geek ideas, fails incredibly in actual practice.

Bathroom graffiti is better than LifeHacker.
All dowsing/divining rods are bullshit. Ideomotor effect + confirmation bias.

Why not tap it? It's not like you were looking for a wife.
