From the "Uses" section of Wikipedia's "Contact paper" entry:
- Commonly used to line or cover kitchen and bathroom cabinets and drawers, counter tops, bookshelves, closet shelving, and pantry areas
- Covering up or protecting areas which have become (or could become) stained or ruined because of a project. Examples include art projects, foods and liquids, destructive substances
- The clear variety can be used for laminating books, art projects, posters, pictures, or other objects
- As part of a collage
It's quite probable that while the term is "contact paper" of the clear variety, it was actually the sticky-backed plastic you're all talking about. I'm not saying paper can't be transparent, but I'm suggesting the possibility that it was not, in this case, paper as the name "contact paper" suggests.
'The buttons hint at Apple's much-rumored radio service, a product that will let people stream music much like they do on the popular Pandora service, but with deep ties to Apple's iTunes library.'
So, it's not really like Pandora at all, and more like Google Play Music, which lets you keep your music in Google's cloud and stream it to your mobile device?
Or are we talking something similar to an actual radio's function on your phone, letting you select your station and everything, like iHeartRadio does?
From a psychological perspective, I think the author most likely is often misunderstood offline. As a result, reinforcing the idea being expressed is a subconscious necessity, based upon interpersonal encounters.
Or maybe his wife/girlfriend has been complaining at him about the fact that they never understand each other, which is natural since men and women think and react differently.
As an American, I must say that you're quite correct.
American football is not football. Hell, you don't even use your feet because you can't let the ball touch the field! The foot needs to be put back into football.
All it is otherwise is basketball, except the ball must travel according to the rules and tackling is allowed. Based on that alone, basketball is arguably more difficult than American football when you take into consideration that basketball requires you to dribble and run and know when to pass whereas American football only requires you to run and know when to pass. It's less safe, yet requires less thought, subconscious or otherwise, from the player. Oh well. Nobody ever claimed we Americans were intelligent.
Now rugby... That's some REAL football.
I was just about to mention this.

Why the hell would anybody want a cup holder connected to their phone with hot coffee? I don't mean to sound elitist, but the idea is terrible!
