Frozen are easy do do in the microwave. I'm continually amazed at how much my mother-in-law cooks in the microwave. I'm also continually amazed at how often she complains that the food is cold and tasteless.

Except that CAFE standards will require lower weights and more efficient engines, regardless of cost. If that means the cars last for a shorter time, so be it.

Small time display. Full Siri integration. Maybe even no display. "Siri, what time is it?"

I expect one of the popular features will be an analog face.

Personally, I would expect the watch to be an IPhone with no touchscreen, with all interactions through Siri.

Setting aside Bernie Sanders, don't you think that "from each according to his rich 1%-ness, to each according to his 99%-ness" thing we've got going on might make some people a little suspicious?

While contemplating on the truth that things don't always go your way, please also contemplate this: By the time you realize you need to call the police, it's already too late.

As a lone gunman, sure.

If everyone in a neighborhood believes that the swat team is immoral, and perpetrating evil, then they go from "having him surrounded" to being surrounded.

If I had a well that was suddenly flammable, you can bet your sweet ass I'd figure out how to separate the gas from the water, and use BOTH.
Hell, I'd use the gas from the water to power the pump, and the separator. And a generator, and maybe pipe it to my stove and water heater.

You can't have "to each according to his need" without "From each according to his ability."

You can't have "From each according to his ability" without "we're the government, and if you don't comply, we will force you."

You can't force me without might.

But you think it is right to force me, because you have the might.

Ergo, might-makes-right. QED.

Amtrack has lost millions trying to sell junk food to Americans in a captive audience situation. Government monopoly is not a good business model.

"I have decided to step down from my position so that I can spend more time with my mistress. "

Who the hell cites an affair for resigning?

And if we could airdrop full libraries with automated librarians who could teach the children how to read and write, in a language they have never seen or heard, into remote villages in all seven continents, that would be relevant.

Hate to break it to you, but when your nominal income is down 10% or more, your real income is even less, and your expenses have gone up, you have to evaluate your cost centers AND your profit centers, to see where you can cut.

Now consider an iPhone app that uses the camera, gyroscope, and accelerometer, and the flash, to build a 3d scan of your ear.

Then consider a 3D printer that makes a custom case for each user based on the above scan, into which the standard hearing aid parts fit into.

Then consider another app that administers a comprehensive hearing test, and dumps the resulting hearing profile into the hearing aid.

Then let people know that their hearing aid will last them an entire year!!

You're back to $400.
