Up from phones. Windows makes for very poor input on a touchscreen device, as well as being someone limited in the resolutions it supports. Therefore any existing Windows apps would need to be completely redesigned and rewritten to be really usable on a tablet, in which case there is little advantage in basing a tablet on Windows.
Intel engineers will go out of their way to get a "design win", i.e. to get the developer of a new product to commit to using Intel parts as a fundamental part of the design. It is only once they get the design win that they no longer care about their customers. It is hard to be customer-driven when you've got a 5 year road map documenting the planned obsolescence of your CPUs for the next several years, but Intel marketing does try to be responsive to it's higher-volume customer's needs... but AMD is much more responsive.
So what you are saying is that all new scientific endeavors begin with the phrase, "Hey Bubba, watch this!" Which is, coincidentally, also the far most frequent "Redneck last words."
Glad you took that in the spirit in which it was meant -- as a joke. I should have included a smiley with that comment.;) Contrary to the stereotype, yes, most of us are long past the "living in our parents' basement" phase -- in my case, it was over 30 years ago.
I can count my friends that I still interact with on one hand with a few missing fingers! You could, you know, once in a while go upstairs and watch a movie with your mom...
We have life sentences because a very small but finite percent of the people sentenced to death aren't actually guilty of the crime for which they have been convicted. They may eventually be exonerated, but it does no good if they are killed before that happens. On the other hand, if convicted murders consent to being put to death, I have no problem with the government assisting in terminating their lives.
Worse than that, it requires 19 friends with similar tastes. My wife's friend loaned her Pride and Prejudice. I, uh... still haven't watched it. Another reason for buying... kids. My daughter will actually watch the same movie several times in a row -- on the same day. Myself, most movies I buy I only end up watching once.
I'm pretty sure you can make an Indy film with no-name actors for less than $273,600. Hollywood blockbuster with lots of special effects and A-list actors, no.
You're missing the point of buying DVDs: start a co-op with 19 of your friends. Take turns buying new movies as soon as they are released, and share them with friends. You're not paying the overhead of a for-profit distribution company like Netflix, and it's perfectly legal.
From the news reports, it is clear that tornadoes actually swerve towards trailer parks... I'm still waiting for the scientists to explain this phenomenom.
Dr. Wurman said that amateur storm chasers rarely offer useful information. I'd hazard a guess that Dr. Wurman is incapable of installing a car stereo in his vehicle by himself, let alone the tons on equipment that they use to monitor storms. That would all be done by technicians, not PhD's. (The "Engineer of the Year" at the college I went to, with a major in Electronics Engineering, needed help to install a cheap car stereo in his car.)
You realize that to truly qualify for a Darwin award, you have to do the stupid shit before you've actually had any children, don't you? Unfortunately, most morons have already bred.
I'm pretty certain that if your insurance company found out you were intentionally driving towards telephone pole, they would cancel your insurance. Incidentally, those poles were originally used as telegraph poles, and were probably used for telephone wire before they were used for AC power transmission.
I heard fragments of the conversations of people in front of me in line the other day... didn't these people have the same "reasonable expectation of privacy" as the people shipping their data over open WiFi routers?
Shouldn't these "amateurs" have a clause in their insurance which automatically cancels the insurance if they do something as mind-bogglingly stupid as driving towards tornadoes?
In Russian, you (sometimes?) take your husband's last name, but with a different ending (instead of using Mr. and Mrs.) This led to my Russian coworker having 2 ID cards with different last names -- an Americanized one with her husband's last name, and another one with her last name as used in Russia.

These are all pics of the same woman (At least I _think_ it is a woman.) Can't they get some variety in these calendars?

I waited until I was 40 to have kids. Big mistake! I keep forgetting where I left them...

There's an app for that!
I don't need no stinkin' video game to teach me how to rape and pillage!

Shouldn't that be, "Tornado Scientists: Butt Heads With Storm Chasers"?
Does it tell you how to survive attack by a horde of hungry zombies?

Yep, it's commonly used for white food coloring. So if there's white frosting on that doughnut...

My religion considers women who don't put out offensive to God... is there any way I can have them punished?
Is there anything it CAN'T do?
