Did you go to high school in Shermer, Illinois? Jocks? Geeks? Really?

I like voice or nothing. If it's not important enough for you to take time out of your day to actually speak to me, then send an email. That's what it's there for.

A tweet? I'm not familiar with that metric. Maybe you could convert it to something more standard like Libraries of Congress.

If there's not enough room to determine whether or not the car in the roundabout is going to turn, then they built the roundabout too small. Near my home, the city of Southlake implemented several roundabouts on their residential backroads. They were well-placed and well-designed. They make driving in that area a lot more pleasant than it was before. The neighboring city of Colleyville had a case of the me-toos and installed their own roundabout. They shoved it in an intersection that was too small for it and it's a nightmare to navigate for the same reason you mention above. A 4-way stop would've been a lot faster and safer than that travesty of a roundabout.

No! That's stealing! You wouldn't steal a car. You wouldn't steal a policeman's helmet and go to the toilet in it... would you?

No, Next was the old version. Who's on first.

Vizzini: But it's so simple. All I have to do is divine from what I know of you: are you the sort of man who would put the throttled phone in front of himself or his enemy? Now, a clever man would put the throttled phone in front of himself, because he would know that only a great fool would reach for what he was given. I am not a great fool, so I can clearly not choose the phone in front of you. But you must have known I was not a great fool. You would have counted on it, so I can clearly not choose the phone in front of me.
Man in Black: You've made your decision then?
Vizzini: Not remotely! Because iPhones use AT&T as a carrier, as everyone knows! And AT&T is entirely peopled with criminals. And criminals are used to having people not trust them, as you are not trusted by me, so I can clearly not choose the phone in front of you.

"Mobile" may be like Windows PCs, but the mobile market has a lot more diverse hardware set. We may see something along the lines of a Mac where the entire hardware subsystem is upgraded so at some point staying with the old set of hardware leads to no longer being able to run any newer programs since at some point developers will stop targeting the older hardware. So while your hardware may be technically capable enough to run the latest Angry Birds (or whatever the fad is by that time), the software will simply not be available for your older device. That will lead a lot of people to upgrade devices who otherwise wouldn't.

It's like Dippin Dots. They're the ice cream of the future! Nevermind that they've been the ice cram of the future for about 25 years now. At some point you have to rightly suspect that they'll never be the ice cream of now.

Even more surprising than that: There's an active TI-99/4A group? Really? Is Bill Cosby a member? That was my first home computer and so it'll always have that special place in my memories, but that thing wasn't very useful when it was still current. I can't imagine trying to do anything useful with it now.
