On this Black Friday 2010, they actually took pictures of you, and your rush to Black Friday shopping deals.
Nope, not me. I NEVER leave the house on Black Friday. I prefer not to be trampled and run down by mindless consumers.
I do my Xmas shopping from the relative safety of my computer and Amazon. Ironically, the government probably knows a lot more about MY shopping habits than those in the satellite images.
I think a more ductile material would be a better case material
Clearly they should just make the entire Phone out of rubber. Then they could sell iLube at the Apple store and it would be a perfect combination for the fanboys.
Yep, absolutely fantastic system and not too hard to install yourself. The wireless receiver actually has a built-in web server you can log into from any computer, and "there's an app for that" too. You log into the server, tell it what your energy rates are, and it'll tell you instantly what the electricity is costing you. I have mine sending everything to Google PowerMeter (this feature is built in) which provides very accurate persistent usage data.
I sprung for the optional remote which sits in our kitchen and displays our usage all the time.
First thing I learned after installing mine: the clothes dryer uses the most electricity by far, and leaving my computers on 24/7 doesn't use as much energy as I thought it did.
No but I get it off my DVD player and PS3. Some of the content there is 1080P but not much, and none of it is surround. I mostly stream Netflix for the kids.
What is my problem? I've been enjoying HD content for many years, and willingly paying for that with satellite subscriptions.
Now Apple comes out with a new Apple TV they claim will change the world, and it can't even do 1080i let alone 1080P, and hardly any content with surround sound. And people think this is progress?
My PROBLEM is people/companies who think I'll happily settle for 1990s quality just because they have some box that will "revolutionize" (oh, sorry, "change the status quo" of) television. Give me a break.
One day, kids will be in awe reading fantasy novels about our golden age of computer junk.
Unfortunately kids these days spend more time texting and less time reading. Fortunately, we'll be able to look at all that old junk at the Computer Junk Museum in the Mega-Costco, between the boat and forklift isles, near the Starbucks and Brawndo machine.
Her nipple wasn't even exposed. I believe she was wearing a pasty.
My wife and I were watching the event live, in HD, and when the "malfunction" occurred we just looked at each other, said "huh!" and went back to what we were doing.

The common hamster [wikipedia.org] can grow to a size of fourteen inches in length, three inches across, and can weigh up to a pound.

Man, maybe some genius was being made that day. Pretty interesting to me. Even if it would take 9 months to poop out.
Skipped sex ed, huh?
I wonder how many things they could care less about?

ts the Evian of the cellphones. Expensive, but 100% pure.
Evian is not really pure. It's full of MINERALS!
It got named "anchor" since it spent several months essentially being useful as just that.
We had an SGI R3000 system we named "gastropod" because it was so slow. It had a CD-ROM though. :-)
For Pope's sake don't BOIL it!

Now all restaurants are Taco Bell.
Anyone with half a brain is going to be doing their microcontroller development in Linux.
Fortunately I have a WHOLE brain, so I know how to install a (mostly automated) one-time driver on Windows when necessary.

Uh, have you SEEN most nudists and/or airline passengers? No thanks!
So I have a twitter account. What the hell am I supposed to do with it?
Start reporting your bowel movements? Hell if I know either.
One can legally disappear through the use of corporations and offshore corporations
I read about this in that memo I got from the Department of Redundancy Department.
Then how do you explain suburb cul-de-sacs?

Until I can get everything I want in 1080P with 5.1 surround I'm not interested.
According to the results white men like nothing better than Tom Clancy, Van Halen, and golfing.
You mean I'm not really white! My parents got some 'esplainin' to do!

If two seconds of Janet Jackson nipple

So THAT's why my wife calls "it" my big hamsta.
Yes, I remember seeing this too, but I'm not sure if it was in the theater.
Honestly, sex is the second most overrated thing in our cultural landscape
Sounds like you're not having very good sex!
