Sure, it looks expensive, but Microsoft is throwing in a Surface RT I believe.

Woot!

Should I buy one to replace my HP Touchpad?

So many mistakes to choose from...

Wait a minute... I forgot, HP made the Touchpad cheap and useful... I guess I won't get the RT.

Correction, they made 1,000 changes. Thanks for the catch!

Eric just wants some peace and quiet.

They want their ONE back...

Shouldn't I be getting thinner? And shouldn't my battery be lasting longer? Not too mention... I should be looking really sharp!

But I seem to be getting larger. My memory is slower. I run down faster....

The mattress.

Please note, I didn't say "going to the mattresses" (I could tell some of you got a bit excited)

As a part of the ban on "assault weapons" (because there are weapons we use in non-assult fashion), all 3D printers are now banned. Along with rubber bands and legos.

It's doubleplusgood don't ya know...

While I'm certain there is some truth that a small decrease in budget means some things might not happen (we're actually more resilient though... so I wouldn't say that "all things stop" like some are trying to say).... what about all the waste? I mean, you scratch your head about how our tax dollars are used to study arguably "stupid" things.... did you ever ask why that is? Do we really want those studies?

If I give a "gift" of government dollars to "you" and you don't really have a plan.. in order to not lose those dollars, you come up with "something"... and presto... the stupid research study is born.... so maybe a reduction is a good idea... maybe we'll think more carefully about where dollars matter... in fact, maybe even better would be a better "attitude" (and associated process) that makes us want to push committed dollars to "real" meaningful projects and studies instead of creating "the stupid" just so we don't throw away the funding.

The government is a machine. Remember how things work and then you can understand why there is so much waste.

If we can't afford stuff... let's decide that we stop spending until we figure out how to spend correctly... While I'm not a fan of President Obama, I'm not against the idea of spending tax dollars on national infrastructure if done wisely (and I believe he's sort of for that... though I'll bet there's an "angle"). But for now, until we figure out how to stop wasting the dollars, I think we just need to put the brakes on in order to force people to "scream". Let's face it, we use the "scream test" in IT all of the time to reduce waste.... it works... though occasionally (rare) the penalty is high.

I mean.. imagine Flatland made into a 3D movie.. what's the *point*?

Out of the corner of my eye I saw Dolph Lundgren... might have really changed the fight...

Sorry about the mixup.

Good examples of very bad Sci Fi.

I'm sorry, but am I the only one hoping that Disney chooses to remake these? You know, with a good story?

Agreed. I think Samsung is only wanting to increase prices for customers buying in quantities of 250,000 or larger. However, I hear that Apple is more open to the idea of increasing prices for quantities of 1,000,000 or larger. Gridlock....

Apple wins again. Apple is even considering repairing the bite mark in their logo. Apple 1 : Legal 0
