Price point refers to MSRP, manufacturer's suggested retail price. It's a suggestion and retailers do not need to adhere to that guideline. For example there are those tall cans of Arizona tea which have 99 printed right on the can but some places will sell it for higher prices. Price is what is determined by the retailer which will return an acceptable profit for a product.
It could snow tomorrow. It could rain tomorrow. The sun was supposed to enter a period of high activity in the past two years and it doesn't appear to be coming around to it anytime soon. Bogus filler article. One would expect that we would be grazed by a CME and have low latitude aurorae in the near future but this simply states that it could happen.
In short it's only considered rape because they did not consent to sex without a condom and Assange didn't wear a condom or continued fucking them in the pooper like a boss after his condom broke.
Not so nasty after all since it's not Japanese anime-style rape.
Well maybe, but it's been done before with Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid and Zelig not to mention Fred Astaire's posthumous commercial for the Dirt Devil (at 3m02s). It'd be interesting to see the end product but I'm certain it will cause nothing for grief for various estates despite any good intentions.
Nikola Tesla is accomplished in his field. In fact he laid the foundation for the world we live in with radio, alternating current and fluorescent lights relegating Edison to the dustbin of history as a quaint artifact of science but a paragon of hucksterism. Tesla accomplished a lot in his first thirty years i.e. left his home country, worked for Edison, developed the tesla coil and founded his own company. Plus he's a hell of a lot more interesting than some sports figure or musical artist.
Size does not matter. Clearing its path matters. Per the IAU Pluto has not cleared its orbital path and can not be considered a planet by the current definition.
I'm smarter than that, the other day the awesome guys at Geek Squad replaced the magic smoke in my computer and now it's never run better! Best $350 I have ever spent while wearing pants.
Fact from fantasy? Meaning that the text on your computer screen doesn't get reflected on your face and hackers really aren't edgy, thin, clean-shaven hipsters (some of whom are girls) who speak weird slang out of a Gibson novel and define their philosophies by the indie band du jour's latest hit?
Keep waiting. The show has been dead and buried for eight years. Move on and find something new like the producers, writers and actors did after it was booted off the air. Even if some network brings Firefly back it's not going to be as good as the original because fans will change their rhetoric of "Bring back Firefly" to "This new Firefly sucks".
Wikileaks released 400,000 more dox that will shake the very foundations upon which the Middle East War rests upon and the news organizations will just sit around masturbating over "Was this ethical? Are people really endangered? What does this mean in regards to bloggers vs. journalists" but never looking at a single document or citing it for the sake of delivering news instead of the storyline which has been perpetuated for the last ten years.
You're an idiot. Censorship is still censorship even if the book is bought up then burned claiming it's legitimate because they bought the book and have the right to do anything with it that they want short of violating ACTA or the DMCA.
The Pentagon slipped up being overzealous. The Wikileaks fiasco showed us that nobody reported on the data made available to the internet. Mainstream medial outlets were besides themselves asking "Was this ethical?" and masturbating over what it means to be a journalist. Had the Pentagon shrugged and allowed the book to be published nobody would've cared beyond the media exclaiming "Secrets! In this book!" completely avoiding any issues meant to be brought to light by Mr. Shaffer's memoir.
Those secrets would've remained hidden in plain sight. Everyone would continue to not care about Afghanistan and the status quo would have remained without burning books.
Oh Amazon! I may be a luddite but at least my books will still function after the collapse of civilization.
I know with my books I can bump them, drop them, get them wet (protip: freeze wet books so they dry out and don't puff up) and even SHARE them with other people. Sadly they're not fireproof.
Beatrix Potter's book 'alternative', and calling it an alternative is quite a stretch but anything's possible if you pay off the right blogs, has all of the flexibility of the dead tree format and none of the drawbacks of some proprietary e-format laden with DRM.
She was being creative and nowhere near trying to introduce a new format which would supercede a content delivery system which has been proven over the course of centuries not a mere handful of years.

Does it have twice as many games? After all the PS3 has nogaems.

If only they followed Roland Piquepaille's lead... TO THE GRAVE!!!
xkcd is never obligatory. Form your own opinions and speak for yourself rather than simply agreeing with another individual.
Read this article about the charges.

I would love to see that protest rally with the dead shambling down Hollywood with sandwichboards and protest signs.

Some argue that the Shroud of Turin is the first photograph of a human being.

Please don't compare the New York Times with the Huffington Post or Drudge.

Nobody came until the rooster did.
Wet books will freeze, the ice will sublimate and after a (long) while you can remove the book none the worse for wear.

With a kindle I have a single electronic gadget full of books that Amazon and publishers can recall at any time for any reason.
