Comment OMG!! Global Thinning! (Score -1, Flamebait) 226

When thinking about dinosaurs' long necks, it's helpful to consider the possibility that the atmosphere was much thicker back then.

OMG!! Global thinning! If you thought global warming was bad, let me introduce you to the horror of our atmosphere thinning like a 40 year old man's bald patch.

Everybody panic. Someone call Al Gore, time for another documentary & award.

This is all fairly silly... Apple does not keep the 30%:

Updated 4:00 p.m. - An Apple representative said the company's policy concerning refunds and developers is that when a refund is granted on a purchase made through the App Store, Apple returns the customer's money and debits the developer's account by 70 percent of the application price, or the revenue the developer had gained on the sale. The company does not charge the developer an additional 30 percent during the refund process, the representative said.

The Panasonic P905i wouldn't appeal to me at all. I really don't think of a cell phone that doubles as a portable TV is particularly innovative; I think it's rather sad.

I saw this all over Japan, people watching TV on the subway... and meanwhile the Internet access and web capabilities of this phone, and others in Japan, are quite poor relative to what the iPhone or G1 can do.

I'm sorry, but being able to watch live TV on a cell phone is not "OMG, it's so advanced, I want it" in my book.

personally, i'd travel to the nearest university where there are the highest concentrations of:

progressive civic-minded & altruistic individuals
intellectuals and knowledgeable experts in assorted fields
innovative freethinkers and fresh young minds

Awesome. I'll travel to meet up with some hunter friends of mine who have guns and wilderness survival skills... we'll shoot you and your newly found progressive buddies, eat your vegetables, and have a long pig BBQ!

My response to him was to quit. After trying to play with him for at least 30 minutes, I just quit and told him I would never play against him ever again because he was brutal, unkind, and deceitful.

You got frustrated with the game, so you acted like a baby, quit, and insulted your son.

The Parent of the Year award is headed your way... well done!
