Why not make a cell phone with a screen good enough to view a webpage, and then make a half-decent input device. Once you do that, you can actually use google to find information about products. Do you think you're going to get unbiased product reviews from the store trying to sell it?
Or better yet, a wireless internet connection directly to your brain. Why not just go all the way?
My statistics is very rusty so I'm not going to correct with specifics, but I know enough to say that most of his calculations have the right intention but are usually incorrect in calculating probability.
The problem with the cited example is that you need to take into account that you're drawing 5 cards. So we have 1/52 * 1/51 * 1/50 * 1/49 * 1/48. Then, since you're only looking for two hearts, it could look like this: 13/52 * 12/51 , but your first heart could be one of the first four. And your second heart could be any one of the next n - 5 cards.
Cards probability was done to death in university, but I promptly forgot most of it.

The 25 percent truck tariff evolved out of an agricultural dispute with West Germany. To retaliate against unfair treatment of U.S. frozen chicken exports to West Germany, President Lyndon Johnson imposed a 25 percent tariff on imported trucks valued more than $1,000 by Presidential Proclamation 3564 in 1963. Prior to this proclamation, imported trucks were subject to a tariff rate of 8.5 percent.
You mess with my frozen chickens and I'll drop a tariff on your light trucks. Crap like this is what makes it difficult to sell/buy overseas products.

Why not blame the rain on Microsoft, even though the weather report didn't mention them? They probably use MS to generate their forcasts.
Cable TV companies are pumping dozens of digital movies accross their system at once, live. Yet they crimp your upload speed to DSL rates or lower

As a side note, Google image search is fantastic.

This doesn't tell me anything about his sneakers.
