Yeah. Like the Sony PS4.

VGLeaks reports that the operating system used on Sony's upcoming PlayStation 4 is called Orbis OS,

Lightning is also symmetric. I can't figure out why they didn't poka yoke USB-Micro. Every single USB standard is just slightly different but not easily apparent in the dark which way is up.

USB-A, USB-B, Mini-A & B, Micro A & B. Would it have been impossible to make it completely symmetric and eliminated 90% of the problems I have with USB?

2. Why is it so important for gay men to get out into the woods with little boys?

Why do people keep equating gay==pedophile. If you see a 10 year old girl walking down the street are you instantly attracted to her? A 10 year old boy to a gay man is no different than a 10 year old girl to a straight man.

I think it's because the other guy was black.

Like in this case. Fla. mom gets 20 years for firing warning shots.

A Florida woman who fired warning shots against her allegedly abusive husband has been sentenced to 20 years in prison.

Marissa Alexander of Jacksonville had said the state's "Stand Your Ground" law should apply to her because she was defending herself against her allegedly abusive husband when she fired warning shots inside her home in August 2010. She told police it was to escape a brutal beating by her husband, against whom she had already taken out a protective order.

Total dead: 0.

20 years for trying to defend herself against against someone she already had a protective order against.

Why are people satisfied with 1080p. My 17" Dell laptop is 1900x1200. I want to replace it but every new dell is just 1080p and that's the upgrade they come stock with x900. I know the margins make it cheaper because of margins with all the 1080P TVs in production but jesus is a 17" laptop with more than a vertical resolution of 1080p too much to ask for?

Love or hate Apple at least their laptops have resolution Their 13" laptops are 2560-by-1600 and The 15" laptops are 2880-by-1800. That's twice the number of pixels as a Dell 17". I really wish Apple made a 17" laptop with retina display because I would buy it in a second.
