I think there is a big difference between text that you would want to take notes along side of the text and those books that are a more casual read.

For note taking, e-readers have still not perfected the ease of having a pen and being about to write directly on on in the margins of text. Print books still excel there.

But for casual reading, a device like a kindle paper-white is better in almost all regards. Reading at night off of its adjustable lit screen is perfect for not keeping you awake if you are trying to get to sleep. 90% of people that I have suggested one to have enjoyed it.

Maybe it already has exploded.

Are we really so ok with robbing people at gunpoint that we say this is not a big deal?

Obviously a BB gun is not as dangerous as a real pistol, but the reason he used it and not a more deadly knife is because many BB guns look real enough when you are being robbed and don't want to be shot.

Four years sounds fair to me.

Why? Because of an error? Just send your apology mailings, take your black eye and move on.

They are monitored.

If my phone is stolen and I activate the "kill switch" can a person still restore the phone and use their own sim card, or is the "kill" all the way down to preventing a DFU restore?

At least they will all be fusion powered by then.

The HR rule of thumb for most large companies is an employee cost twice what his salary would be. I.E. it would cost the government $200k/year for each $100k/year salaried employee.

If you don't connect it to the internet, that is pretty much all it is (plus the speakers), right?

I received a business degree at a large state school in 2000.

A computer language counted as a foreign language in this program. Better yet, statistics counted as a computer language.

Therefore by just taking your core statistics classes, you covered your foreign language requirement for a business degree.

I still don't know how I got away with that one.

That was actually a great show.

Except where they pass out the wrong paper ballots. Mistakes can happen in a number of ways.

People keep thinking of the disadvantages of the phone, but think of the advantages.

No checking in.

An email confirms your room number and you just go straight to the room.

1. Talk bad about our boss' clients in public
2. Get fired.

This is not a first amendment issue.

What a shocker..
