Imagine hitting "channel up" on your remote control and waiting... waiting... wondering if the infrared signal made it to the receiver or was blocked somehow, only to finally see the channel change a full minute later. It's my daily experience with my digital cable company.

This big problem would probably not have surfaced (at least not so soon) if one of their employees hadn't been stealing from the till. Sometimes it takes a crime to uncover another crime!

The University gave no word on the possibility of tentacles in future models.

Seriously. Japan will provide, it's inevitable.

On one hand, it's worth spending the money to be rid of Bieber. On the other hand, for every Bieber we take down, ten Veronica Blacks will rise!!!

It took the death of the most hated man alive to finally put an end to the supremacy of Justin Beiber tweets.

I misunderstood the intent of the title as "if you want to kill something, open source it"... which would make sense considering how more and more open source projects are being shot down in flames by lawsuits and patent claims.

Bought the two big titles that came out a week ago. Can't play Mortal Kombat on my PS3 because PSN is down. Can't play Portal 2 on my Xbox360 because it red ringed on me. Isn't the latest technology grand?

With child porn accusations, you'd be lucky to get away with "guilty until proven innocent."

It's more like "Guilty until you got away for lack of proof but we know what you did you dirty pervert because there's no smoke without fire and why would you have been accused unless you'd done it for real?"
