Nothing ever lives up to hype. While I'm sure the game is good, you *know* people will be dissapointed and whiny as soon as something starts to bother them.
This is generally the 'movie sequal' theory, but it applies here too I think.
And as the owner of a venture-capital-less internet small business in Texas with no college degree, I find the survey a poor indicator of technology in a state - especially coming from a company that can't even keep their server online.
And I find your opinion clearly biased, and thus just as bogus.
Don't knock Seinfield. He knew your point exactly, which is why he didn't bother to patronize his audience(and he mocked his own concept during it). Reruns(most of them at least) are certainly more enjoyable than any other show that's not a cartoon or fake news show.
(And if you're gonna bash Quinn for being racist, it should be noted that Chappele is his counterpart(despite how funny he is.))
If I posted this, I would be being sarcastic, but in case you're serious.
The Printing Press caused mass revolution across Europe and America. "Common Sense" anyone?
Telephone. You honestly think rebels don't know how to use a telephone? But this isn't even a related technology, because you can't broadcast with it.
Television. Television is controlled information, and NOTHING LIKE THE INTERNET! Nevertheless, it strongly controls the opinions of those who watch it, so if we started seeing pictures of Americans brutally torturing Iraqis, you can be rest assured it would have an extreme effect on the public's outlook.
"As the Americans learned so painfully in Earth's final century, free flow of information is the only safeguard against tyranny. The once-chained people whose leaders at last lose their grip on information flow will soon burst with freedom and vitality, but the free nation gradually constricting its grip on public discourse has begun its rapid slide into despotism. Beware of he who would deny you access to information, for in his heart he dreams himself your master.

It makes life easier. What if you had kids that need to call. You're not always at your cubicle, so your office phone isn't enough. Taking cell phones away complicates the lives of employees, which may backfire and cost the company more than it may or may not save by trying to goad it's employee's into working more.
An object crashed into the dunes here on Mars from the sky, which among increasing reports of so-called 'alien' activity, has escalated the public's fear of an invasion.
The Martian government continues to deny any knowledge of beings from the Blue planet, and claims the object was just a weather balloon, and nothing to worry about.
Nixon: Oh no? Well listen here missy. Computers may be twice as fast as they were in 1973. But your average voter is as drunk and stupid as ever. The only one whose changed is me. I've become bitter and lets face it, crazy over the years. And when I'm swept into office, I'll sell our childrens organs to zoos for meat, and I'll go into peoples houses at night and wreck up the place! MWUHAHAHAHAH!

Clearly a photo of the newstand itself would be technically correct. :)

I make 7x what I earned in grad school and still feel poorer now than I did then.
Maybe you shouldn't have bought that porsche...

Oh my yes, This is just a simple ordinary company rule.
'So we can use our cel..'
THIS IS NO SIMPLE ORDINARY RULE!
I'm 13 and I swear constantly, but perhaps my language would be more elegant had the television not repeated some language so much.
Of course you do, damn it! (pardon my french).
Actual work? *shudder*
Let's just not send any zebra mussels.
If I want to see images of uranus and black holes, I'll check goatse, thank you.
Well *you're* their best seller!
Hey George, Mars called, and they're running out of shrimp!
Can't decide on FloodRanger or this game for my next purchase.
As soon as Macintosh takes over the market(if ever), viruses will target them instead.
They're not more secure, but why hit 1/3 of the world's computers when you can hit 1/2 of them with a windows bug.
When the first Mac worm hits, it will be huge, because their users aren't used to dealing with them.
