    Can you be a little more specific in identifying where these cultures that find bald-headed men attractive are located? Because I _really_ need to get laid...

    I see that "arguing for a universal truth by providing fictional characters as evidence" is now considered a valid debating technique..

    I'm even less thrilled by the prospect of paying $13.50 to watch a 3D movie in 2D.

    You do realize you could get a "relatively normal 2d viewing experience" at a 3D movie simply by wearing the glasses and closing one eye, don't you?

    Uh, the announcement that this technology would be available on April 1, 2012 at the end of the NPR piece was a pretty obvious giveaway to those that hadn't gotten it yet...

    Health insurance crosses state lines. Homegrown pot doesn't. Arguing that the federal government has the right to regulate homegrown under the commerce clause but not insurance is ludicrous.

    Exactly how is California harming other states by having stricter pollution standards??? States either have a right to pass tougher laws than the federal branch or they don't. Again, you can't have it both ways -- either the commerce clause trumps state's rights or it doesn't. Arguing "Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't" makes you a hypocrite.

    I find it difficult to believe that Gonzales v. Raich is constitutional when it basically decided that the Feds can regulate anything they damn well please under the Commerce Clause, but Obamacare is not. Granted, one is proscriptive and the other prescriptive, but it still seems hypocritical and inconsistent to be in favor of one and not the other. Interesting how Repubs scream "state's rights!" when it bolsters their cause then support federal power (E.g. Defense of Marriage Act) when that seems like the best way to achieve their aims. Personally, I'd prefer we error on the side of state's rights, but if you're going to throw out Obamacare, you'd better throw out all the other cases wherein the feds have tried to overrule the states as well, such as the EPA overruling California's attempt to have stricter pollution standards than the Federal law required.

    When you're entire product development strategy amounts to "copy whatever other companies are making money at", you tend to shy away from the short term opportunities that will gone by the time you get a product out, and shoot for the longer term opportunities where you can slowly build market share (like the XBox).
