I know that when I'm driving with my GF, there have been many times when I'd shut up in mid-sentence to focus on heavy traffic/curving road, and she could see why I shut up. A hypothetical cellphone talker might have been saying "Cro, are you still there? HEY CRO!!", which certainly would have been more distracting.
The part of the country I'm in has been having snow, rain, wind, and hail for months. Even if I were outdoors, I wouldn't get any of this mythical "sunlight" here.
Lots of sites with mandatory periodic password changes won't let you pick a password that is "too similar" to a previous one. Do you run into that problem?
Awhile back, one of my systems kept rejecting attempts to change my password. The stated reason was unclear, but I suspect it was because it was "too similar". Ultimately, I used a pw that would have gotten my mouth washed with soap.
IMO, Doc Ock is very hard to do realistically. He's not any more durable than a non-super street punk, probably less because he's a science geek. But he can dish out enough punishment with his robot arms that it would be harder for Spidey to pull his punches than it would if he was whooping a common punk.
My city is very spread out, with very little shopping near my house. And my GF lives over 20 miles away, which adds a lot to my Saturday driving. And I like to drive for the heck of it; even now it's cheaper than movies, dining, gambling, plus I have to drive to do those as well. 150 miles is a bit much even for me, but 100+ is not unusual for Saturday.
On a typical Saturday, I drive to my GF's (over 20 miles), back to the casino in the other direction, then we drive various places all over the city, maybe stopping here and there then driving somewhere else. By the time I get home, I usually have over 100 more miles on my car.
That's followed by a Sunday where I drive my mom to various stores, none of which are near her house except the grocery store. Plus driving around for the heck of it. That's easily another 50.
Every reboot I've ever seen was a total suckfest. They seem to remove anything good from the source material and give us something dark and totally stupid.
At one time, my bank DID offer desktop software for online banking. Apparently, it was more trouble than it was worth, and they dropped it in favor of using Quicken/MS Money for their online stuff.
My real Kindle is easier on the eyes than my iPhone Kindle. And the iPhone battery MIGHT last for 2-3 days if I'm NOT using it as an ereader. The Kindle battery easily lasts a week, maybe twice that if I turned off the wireless.
I DO read on the iPhone on the road, but at home I prefer the Kindle.
I do. The Kindle is better than the iPhone, but my iPhone is much more portable. I use the Kindle at home, or if I'm going on a long trip. If I'm waiting for an oil change or for my GF to finish her shopping spree, I use the iPhone.
I don't know about the sony product, but the Kindle was adequate. Obviously, it's far too slow for internet browsing, but good enough for turning static pages.
For the most part, I thought JarJar sucked, but I did get a half-chuckle/half-incredulous stare out of the fight between the Gungans and the droid army. To this day, I can't believe that that Gungan tossed that explosive device to the idiot who got banished for his clumsiness.
I don't know about you, but for me the star of the original trilogy was Han Solo. I'm not sure who the star of the prequel trilogy was, but there was not a single Han Solo-esque character in it.
There wasn't even a Luke Skywalker-esque character in it. Anakin went from whiny kid to arrogant teen to Darth Vader, and sucked at two of those roles.
I'm all behind using primate models for antibiotic testing. I'm entirely against animal models for cosmetics research.
I don't know about that. It would suck if the latest, untested mascara made my GF go blind. Though it might be nice if she didn't notice my sloppy housekeeping.

Google doesn't need TV ads. Half the websites I visit have a very visible Nexus ad. I see Nexus online way more than I see iPhone TV & web combined.
Star Wart II had flying cars all over the place. Anakin could literally jump out a car and land in another.

And that's part of the problem.
Of course, if you lie on the security questions, it's usually harder to remember what you put.
I don't play WoW, but my most recent account that forbids special characters is, surprise, a bank account. :-P

Yikes! I tried my username, and it's even got a picture of me. I knew I should have shaved better!

Yeah, might as well pee on a TSA goon and get put on the sex offender, terrorist, and no-fly lists with one whizz.
If you gotta go YOU GOTTA GO! Personally, I'd rather pee on the TSA bozos who make such stupid rules, but they aren't on the plane.
I might be in the minority here, but I'd rather type "www.whatever.com" than either of the other choices.
And yet, it was still better than many versions of Windows.

Inconclusive, unless you know what they were like before they got their cell phone.
