    Oh come on now. And instead he went to the complete trainwreck of a spam house?

    No way he was leaving on his own. Not with product launch in 5 months.

    It all depends. If republicans do it, they are killing our economy by sending jobs overseas. If democrats do it, it's a genius move to lower spending.

    In connection to Snowden he said that? Or are you starting a different discussion?

    And let's not go to RED vs BLUE shit stinks less, either. One's not any different than the other, and if nothing else, recent developments should've proven that to you.

    "Countless times per day I'm removing my smartphone from my pocket simply to check..."

    So now you'll strap an indicator to your wrist that notifies you _every time_ you get a text or email, which will require you removing your phone from your pocket _every time_ to read such message (unless you are going to do so on a 1.5" display) and to eventually reply such message. So instead of removing your phone once every hour,you'll do so _every time_ such indicator goes off.

    On top of it you'll be recharging such indicator once every couple of days.

    I'm sorry, but that just sounds silly and counter productive.

    "My bet is Apple has a wealth of ideas..."

    I'm pretty sure, as there are several such devices on the market already.

    I live in the US, listened to and read plenty of news/reactions about this and have yet to hear the utter BS you made up. Couldn't be further from the truth.

    Snowden is Hot Potato. Agree with him or not, there's no country in their right mind who would want him on the premises. He was asked by HK/Chine to leave, and I'm pretty sure Russia can't wait to get him on a plane.

    Unless he also has information about Russia (or whatever country he's in) and they find out. In which case he'll be in some pretty Hot Water.

  13. Re:Funny results reporting on Supreme Court Overturns Defense of Marriage Act · · Score: 1

    Great analogy. In that case you would be just as unfairly suggesting the wife's guilt and casting the husband as a victim.

    Now the only reason you would do that is:

    1. you live next to your brother
    2. Barbera's with your boyfriend
    3. Barbera's super hot and with a neighbor other than you

    To circumvent situations like this the expression "in all fairness" was born. So you could say:

    My neighbor's wife Barbera is cheating on her husband, but in all fairness John is seeing someone on the side, too.

    (You would also avoid calling one person a "dirty cheating hooker", without finding a matching expression to the other party.)

    I completely agree with you, but I don't think it's possible in the real world where there are divorces, disputes, abuse, especially that of children. At that point you can't leave the legal system and government out of it.

    I don't get it. How is saying that this was a victory for gay marriage some sort of twisting the news? It _is_ a victory for gay marriage. That's what the whole thing was about. In fact it sounds like they gave you more info, because what does "DOMA ruled unconstitutional" mean to most people?

    A twist would've been FOX saying that the ruling hurts traditional family values. Or that we are all going to die.
