It's crazy how everyone looks at business these days. If you're not experiencing explosive growth then your company is dying, sorry.

test results will help students make decisions about their diet and lifestyle.

Your test results have shown that you would benefit most from a healthy diet and active lifestyle.

Oh my god! You've figured it out!

The obvious thing to do here is listen to what the medical community says, and then do the exact opposite!

I anxiously await your findings.

How do I get that job?

The trouble with this approach is that it's prone to misunderstanding. People are used to seeing the name of the recepient before the @.If you're applying with a company/HR that doesn't know what you're doing, then they wonder why you seem to be claiming to be them. Or they look at the address and say, "OurCompany@hisdomain.com, that can't be right. He must be confused."

This isn't Twitter.

Well, it might be.

Could you use the upward lift to generate power for the city?

...in the long run to get candy at the store while picking up condoms.

Nice, thanks. Now we just something for Canada, I guess.

What we need is sellers like Steam, Gamers-Gate, and Good Old Games for the ebook market. Give me weekend deals, give me surprise specials on publishers, give me a discount if I buy an author's entire catalog. From what I've seen, there's little incentive to go ebook over dead-tree. They should be taking advantage of the low cost of distribution and selling as much as they can. If I can't get it for cheap online then I'm either going to pick it up used or from a library, I'm guessing neither of which profits them as much as if I get it directly.

I don't mind Steam-like DRM. Make it easy to use and make sure it WORKS and people will love it. There are customers now who try to buy on Steam whenever possible, sometimes even when the same product available elsewhere with no DRM and at a lower price.

That's not to say I wouldn't prefer something like RTF. Good Old Games is selling tonnes (how many bits are there in a gram?) of games DRM-free and are constantly adding to their catalog. There was nothing stopping me from pirating Fallout 2, but I bought it from GOG anyway because it was cheap enough to be a no-brainer. Older books, discounted, and DRM-free in a GOG-type store would be great and would make a lot of money.

Unfortunately, ebooks are more likely to go towards the Microsoft XBOX Live store model. Sales are rare and often lame. Microsoft just added the ability to buy XBOX 360 games online. The main problem is, it's twice or three times as expensive as picking up a physical copy.

Seriously. The obvious mod whoring is blinding.

If it's just sitting there, why use a more expensive 2.5" drive?

The iPhone resolution is half that, and it's doing fairly well, last time I checked.

I think you need to redefine what you think of when you see the word "computer".

Apparently him sensing it causes "dizziness, confusion and nausea". Maybe his sensor has a longer range than his "allergy"?

There's a lot of things in this article and this condition to be skeptical of, but I don't think this is one of them.
