Sometimes being two minutes late for work means missing the train, meaning you're 30 minutes for work, meaning you get seen as a not-hard worker, meaning you get fired and have all the time in the world to brush your teeth! Problem solved!

On second view, these are actually Windows 8 ads, showing an Asus tablet ... whoops.

They were solely focused on use cases, until these series of ads came out. Our signature. I find these ads ridiculously pretentious. Apple has earned that right to be pretentious, but I do wish they went back to their old style of showing the product doing something cool.

These ads seem to be everywhere for me. Isn't this what you're advocating for? Less talking.

I think the ads are quite effective, but I still don't know anyone who has a Surface.

You lost your credibility in the second line:

Yeah, it's been a pretty crappy decade. (Any show listed before 2003 had a significant number of episodes in 2003 and beyond.) There are a lot of people out there that feel that this is the new golden age of television.

New Jersey has been running out of money for at least a decade and at least as long as Corzine (the guy before Christie) proved he couldn't manage a budget. If this is a way to raise revenue, why not?

Nevermind. Spoiler: at the end he says he spent THIRTY MINUTES with the OS. Give me a break. He brags about learning Linux when Slackware was the most user friendly OS. You think he learned that in 30 minutes? You really need to be able to sit down for a few hours to give an OS a fair shake, potentially much longer. Is this ideal for Mom and Pop, who get their new machine? Absolutely not, and some tweaks are necessary to make this OS a bit easier for those making the transition. But there is no way this guy should be taken seriously until he spends a couple of days with the OS and learns the ins and outs.

He brings up a lot of good points. To be fair, there are a lot of UI changes in the new OS, and many are not "Conveyed" well (to use his language). However, I feel like he really didn't give the OS a chance. He openly admits he didn't figure out how to do certain things. He says he doesn't know how to close apps in the Metro UI. He says he couldn't figure out how to easily open up Control Panel. Um, hit start, start typing "control panel" and it pops right up.

Come on. It's different, but it's not impossible to use, not by a long stretch.

And I hit 85/35 on my FiOS every time I've ever tested it. This is an average. You've got basically the best LTE connection in the country "regularly" and you're comparing it against an average.

I am guessing he was using BBM, and set a broadcast message or a status message. Alternatively, he might have had a Swim Team group, which could have been next to his adult friend's name, and he could have hit the wrong group. The summary obscures this "all of his contacts" might have better read "all of his BBM contacts" but I don't expect the mainstream press to get into technical details like this.

Protect your 6 digit id!

My advice for you is to look at how your bosses dress and emulate it. Yes, he might be a male, but it'll give you an idea of what he/she expects. Is she in a suit every day? Is it because she's always visiting clients? Does she expect you to visit clients? What about days when she's not visiting clients? If your boss is male, just do the female equivalent. If he's in a suit and tie, you should probably wear blouses and pants (not jeans) or a skirt/conservative dress. If he's in jeans and a polo, you can be in jeans. If he's in a t-shirt and cargo shorts, you can wear whatever the hell you want.

Sure, you might be overdressed some days, but more likely than not, you'll always feel appropriate.

Overseas subscription isn't an option because the BBC does not have the legal right to broadcast outside of the UK. In fact, NBC/Comcast would probably petition the US Federal Government (via the FCC), internet service providers, and the IOC to shut down the BBC's online broadcast if they didn't put the IP restrictions in place, or worse, offered it for sale to US residents.

I love this thinking. There was a thread about this some time back that I found most enjoyable, despite my shoddy math.

A dumptruck full of harddrives.

Jersey City has a large number of banks and investment houses that got displaced by 9/11. It is about 1 mile from WTC Ground Zero.

Secaucus has a large number of data centers, although not necessarily more than New York City.

NASDAQ has it's high frequency trading facility in Carteret NJ.

I don't think any of these actually add to the broadband rates in NJ, as the study is measuring mostly consumer rates. That said, there is a large amount of IT investment in New Jersey.
