Is there any evidence of that happening post-Jobs, though?

The ads will feature a reanimated Richard Burton.

If I want to know the chemical makeup of anything, I'll just ask Moss to smell it for me.

I'm trying to recall the last time I read a book because it won an award... but I'm coming up blank.

This is alarmingly close to the secret laws Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn wrote about in the Gulag Archipelago.

Note that he actually lives in New York City; but he prefers to shop in Connecticut.

Keep your list on your phone. Ours is a shared Dropbox file - if I notice we are low on paper towels, I just add it right then. No harder than pushing a button, really (especially if you've got five or ten buttons to keep straight).

I can't see why I - or anyone else - would want this.

I already order (perhaps too much) stuff from Amazon, using my phone. It's not onerous; it's easy-peasey. There's even an Amazon app, if I really didn't want to be bothered with the phone's web browser. So what exactly do I gain from getting one or more of these?

Does Dice still do the job listings thing? I ask because its been a few years since I heard anyone talk about looking there, either for jobs or for candidates.

Except she's not speaking to her area of expertise. Her opinion on what the target should be for limiting temperature rise is not any more relevant than, say, an electrical engineer's or a chemist's.

If the UN wants to issue authoritative statements about the science, they should have an actual climate scientist in charge.

She's a Geography professor.

So why would I care about her opinion on global warming, either way?

My wife and I bought our first television (way back in the pre-HD, pre-flatscreen days) from our local Future Shop - back when they were still in the U.S. Big 27" screen... darn thing weighed close to 100 pounds. Even when I was young, that thing was a bear to move single handed.

Wait - why are memories of that horrible old beast of a television making me feel nostalgic?

Which is exactly why Ted Cruz will not be the next president.

The current GOP is making the exact same mistakes the Democrats made repeatedly in the late 60s and early 70s (and then again in the 80s). They are too beholden to a very vocal minority that is simply too far removed ideologically from the bulk of Americans. After their candidates have completely bent over to placate the extremists in order to win the nomination, even the most skilled spin doctors can't repaint them as close enough to the center to actually win.

Sure, the GOP can ride this strategy to grab House and Senate seats, but - like the Dems - they can't acquire the Big Chair without largely ignoring the extremists and moving towards the center.

Nah - Cheney never aims above face level.

Or with US Airways Flight 1549 (which was an Airbus A320-200) it was preferable to plop it into a river.

Sully and the flight crew made a judgment call that they weren't going to reach any of the possible landing fields, so they turned the plane around and dropped it into the Hudson. It's unlikely the Airbus computers thought that was an appropriate action...
