We'll be facing an energy crisis sooner or later. I say we should ban planes altogether and switch to trains and boats exclusively.

I'm not even white, I'm off-white. We're a new race, we will prevail! - Mitch Hedberg
And the last thing I've heard about WebOS was "I'm not dead yet!"
That, or we all switch to AmigaOS. Or BeOS. Why must the Davids always fail and the Giants win?
ITER fusion project struggles to put the pieces together.
We apologize again for the faults in iOS 6. Those responsible for sacking the people who have just been sacked have been sacked.
Great, I can't wait to get the new iDroid OS!
Why was PNG finally able to replace GIF but MNG failed to replace the animated GIF?
Maybe not, but the 3D printer is controlled by an Arduino!
Nope, they released it for Microsoft Android iPhone at the same time too.
Use a 3D printer to print bitcoins to pay for Windows 8, you say? What a great idea!
I've checked around, but where I live there is zero alternatives to my current ISP, except going with a satellite connection. And we all know how those are even worst in terms of price, monthly cap, speed and lag.
So yes, I know about Wind Mobile for cellphones and TekSavvy for internet, they're just not available in our small town.
Because she has one of the funniest Star Trek captain quote ever:
"Ever since my first day on the job as a Starfleet Captain, I swore I'd never let myself get caught in one of these Godforsaken paradoxes. The past is the future, the future is the past, it all gives me a headache." - Janeway (Future's End Pt. I)
Now, if you want really funny Star Trek quotes, you need to go with the doctors. The Emergency Medical Holographic program (EMH) had some hard to beat quotes, too:
"I'm a doctor, not a battery." - The Doctor
"I've reconfigured The Doctor's optical sensors and as soon as they're aligned he should be able to detect the microwave signature of the portals." - Torres
"Then I can begin my new career as a tricorder." - The Doctor
The prices and the speeds could be better, but IMHO the real problem is the incredibly small monthly caps that we have up north.
A monthly cap of 50GB is just proof that the companies are trying to use their ISP side to protect their media broadcasting side. Bell Internet is protecting Bell ExpressVu, the CRTC should not be blind to the conflict of interest in all this.
The monthly cap should start around 100GB even for the slowest speeds and go up from there. My 2Mbps connection has a 35GB monthly cap with fees of around $5 per extra GB, which is insane when you consider the cost to Bell.
I've read some comments that say the Wii U is "as powerful as an Xbox360/PS3", however I've also read articles that mentioned the Wii U is two generations ahead of the other two consoles... so, which one is it?
Butthurt Xbox360 and PS3 owners spreading FUD about the new Nintendo system now that they have to comment about how gameplay is more important than graphics, or dumbass writers who will say anything to have people read their articles?
Do we even know the specifications of the Wii U's GPU to make such comparisons?
Xbox 360 sucks because they don't support keyboard and mouse for the games.
