Uranus

Okay... I'm sorry. Don't be mad. I cringed too when it crossed my mind.

A trend most certainly fitting for recent releases, calling Vista Windows 6. But was 2000 that bad? How about 98?

If it's too easy, you get bored. If it's too hard, you get bored. If it's too repetitive, you get bored. If the dailies aren't each revolutionary, you get bored. I hate dailies, but let the reward justify the hard effort? Kinda like life, or are we all expecting the silver spoon. I love this expac. And I hope it takes me a while to get through it all. :) BTW: I hear if you reach Revered/Exalted on your main, your alts will gain rep twice as fast... starting in patch 5.1? But that's what I've heard.

Speaking of the iOS, here is something that can help keep tabs on those who participate with you: Find My Friends. Unfortunately, it hasn't found me any friends. :(

Thinner phone is a desirable concept, practical or not. However, it seems that with a thinner phone, you can wrap it with a more protective case. Have you seen what Otter Box has? It can easily double the thickness.

I would say yes, it's the modern production fix of dropped frames, like interpolating photography when the data's not really there to increase the size. Other stuff is probably from a camera dynamically trying to balance light and color. Nonetheless, truly an awesome video.

[referring to the Curiosity rover]
Reuters [looks through a camcorder] This is heavy-duty, Doc. This is great. Uh, does it run, like, on regular unleaded gasoline?
NASA Scientist: Unfortunately, no. It requires something with a little more kick. Plutonium.
Reuters: Um, plutonium. Wait a minute. Are...
[lowers the camcorder]
Reuters: Are you telling me that this sucker is nuclear?
NASA Scientist: Hey, hey, hey! Keep rolling. Keep rolling there.
[The reporter raises the camcorder]
NASA Scientist: No, no, no, no, no, this sucker's electrical, but I need a nuclear reaction to generate the 1.21 gigawatts of electricity I need.
Reuters: Doc, you don't just walk into a store and-and buy plutonium. Did you rip that off?
NASA Scientist: Of course. From a group of Soviet nationalists. They wanted me to build them a bomb, so I took their plutonium and, in turn, gave them a shoddy bomb casing full of used pinball machine parts. Come on! Let's get you a radiation suit. We must prepare to reload.

The spot(s) look like a spider. If consistent, it would be a cool marking drawn by evolution to protect itself.

Oh my!!!

In the shadow of my main Mac tower (desktop publishing), I have an old Dell XPS B866 in my office running Win2k as my lowest common denominator, so I can test .doc, .xls and .ppt files in Office 2003. But talking about Windows UI? It was no frills, quick and to the point interface. I still think it was Microsoft's best OS. All it needs is some protocol updates and other under the hood stuff, it could last longer. Unfortunately, 12 years old, even Firefox developers wont throw it a bone.

Great link, Swampash. I revel in Dvorak's excuse. He has made a choice—a professional choice—to be a critic of Apple (probably trying troll Apple fanboy traffic to his columns) long time ago, and complains about it when he's wrong!? Because he's been blackballed by Apple, yet he thinks he's been doing them favors!? Man, it shouldn't surprise him by now that this is part of the industry's game, no matter the product. If the insiders get privileged info for their columns on the hottest products in the industry, then you are sucking the wrong dicks, man.

That link led me to this Dvorak gem, too: http://www.marketwatch.com/story/apple-should-pull-the-plug-on-the-iphone

Can I compare this to Khan's tunnel vision on the incapacitated Reliant as he's still going after the Enterprise at the end of Wrath?

She doesn't sequence druish.
