Then you, sir, are the only one who should ever be allowed to say it. It is brilliant, but anyone copying that phrase from you will sound like a tool. :)
If you invented that word, +1 internets for you. If you just heard it somewhere, -1.
There's a G-spot joke in there somewhere, but I can't find it.
As a Kindle Fire owner I have to say that a 7" screen on a device under a pound is just about perfect for everything I used to use my iPad for with the exception of project planning apps like Corkulous or some productivity apps like PowerPoint. And with the right interface even those apps would probably be fine. A smaller device is easier to use, requiring less stretching of thumbs for tapping on a keyboard, and it's easier to hold and use with one hand.
I'm not saying Apple will release a smaller iPad, but they should.
I'm not sure you realize how small the "functional" part of that IRIS 9000 set is - it's pretty tiny. The BT part is just about 2" x 1/2". The big thing with the red "eye" is just for fun.
That also exists; the ThinkGeek IRIS 9000. And that actually looks awesome.
I guess both here and across the pond the new test is "well, it's pretty hard to break skin with it so it must be okay!"... at least if you catch 'em on a good day :)
Never mind the rates of theft out of those checked bags...
Well if you tell the TSA it's a cannonball, they confiscate it just on the principle that you're an idiot. If you tell them it's a shot-put though, no problem at all!
Funny story; I'm coming back from the UK after my mother's funeral packing a load of her belongings including some silver flatware that's been in the family for years. No real cooking knives, mind, but the stuff you'd find on a table. Didn't even think twice about it, but as I get to the other side of the X-Ray machine this UK security agent asks me to open my bag and there are all these implements in there - table knives, serving forks, that sort of thing. He picks out the meanest looking item from the bunch, an 8" long fork from a carving set (probably circa 1930) and then looks at me. I have this somewhat sheepish look on my face and I'm thinking "Well there goes the family silver". I apologize and tell him it's all from my mother's estate, and that I didn't even thing about it. He give me a hard look, then he takes the fork and tries to stab himself in the hand with it, and (in the cutest british accent) says "Well you couldn't really hurt anyone with that could you?" then he turns to his supervisor and says "Not really even sharp, actually" poking himself a few more times to demonstrate just how dull the prongs are.
He puts it back in my bag and sends me on my way. Nicest airport security interaction I've ever had. And I'm sure if it'd happened in the US I'd be writing this post from jail....
These already exist and they are decidedly less futuristic and amazing than we ever would have thought.
It makes perfect sense for a Japanese home, since many still sleep on tatami mats and bedrolls, which I find to be pretty uncomfortable. They do need some kind of structural support though, to be really useful as a chair. They really should be designed to be more interlocking than just plain rectangles.
I would have thought it was dietary - like argyria, which is caused by silver intake. But looking at people with argyria it doesn't seem to affect their hair, and since this squirrel is purple all over, I'm thinking it's because of dye of some sort, and the porta potty theory is certainly plausible. Can't wait to see the Mythbusters episode on this one...
That sounds delicious AND nutritious!
Or you could just live in NYC like me, where's it's been in the 50's/60's for the past month. Lol [sic] what is winter [sic].
Seems like the whole idea of custom inserts and soles is junk science - "I 'm expected to score thirty points tonight - I need to be a little quicker..." when is someone not expected to score more and be quicker? Why not just start out with the best insole in the first place?
Oh and I think the wingtip at the front looks silly. But that's just me.
True. I'd say the message here is that the Kindle is a family-friendly line of products and that it's the "smart" purchase over the iPad (women, especially moms, being the ones who make smart purchases over cool purchases). Target is right at the heart of the one with the purse-strings.
No I haven't - where is it? Now you're getting me all nostalgic. I haven't seen a good pantsing here for months!
I think he burned out - got mad, maybe even got banned and never came back. That's what I remember anyway.
...and now one of those two cents are on the way to Mars!
Are you still OMG_ing? Ah those were the days. Where is ponies, anyway?
