Exactly what I came to post. How am I supposed to use this thing while shaving, brushing my teeth, in the shower...
The only place you can use a tablet is on the toilet, and that's what people are using their tablets and phones for.

Thank you for this post. "Netflix just signed a streaming deal with Paramount, Lionsgate and MGM for about $200 million a year" This right here just saved my streaming account. Sound's like my selection is going to get better. Screw Starz.

Hey, I love the Mars rovers, but if your car had a top speed of "The rovers have a top speed on flat hard ground of 50 mm/s (2 in/s). The average speed is 10 mm/s, because its hazard avoidance software causes it to stop every 10 seconds for 20 seconds to observe and understand the terrain into which it has driven." it would last for 8 yrs w/o maintenance as well.

Most of them are overweight. Sounds like a win/win.

IMHO what they should have done PRIOR to this whole batch of idiocy: Accept the coupon themselves. Just like many grocers have been doing for years for their competitors coupons.
Corporate short sightedness strikes again.

Speak for yourself son. I like my dead trees. I'm not going to tell you to get off my lawn, but I LIKE a physical copy.
Now get out of my tree.

Actually, YES. Just like good new music comes from places outside of large cities. People create stuff, because they're on the outside. Having very little tech will force some of those users to get creative.

But your car WILL deteriorate if it's not driven. You can't just park a car in a garage and one day 30yrs later expect to get in and start it up. It MUST be run. WTF good is a car or a body if you're not using it anyway?
It's about balance.

"#1 It involves Russia. There are too many people who will be worried about pinko-commies invading the American Heartland."

  Sarah Palin will be the new Paul Revere. She'll see them coming.

Yeah, I felt on the second floor of my home in Dayton. I couldn't believe it was the VA quake at first.

The Autobahn is actually maintained, unlike 99% of the roads in America.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA oh man you're killin me bwahahahhaha

I guess that depends on your definition of waste. By my definition $0 was wasted.

I destroy the cabinets in the kitchen and we're up to $5000 for shitty cabinets I'll have to install myself. Tens of thousands is NOT unreasonable.

Picasso wasn't a financial failure. Many of the artist of that time were quite wealthy in fact. That poor starving genius artist thing is mostly a lie, based mostly on Van Gogh.
