    #5 is great. Surprisingly, I recognized the lake instantly even though we just quickly drove by it during a trip to Banff a few years ago. I guess the big granite cliffs are a bit unique.

    Are we sure that iPhone setup isn't available as a Jailbreak theme? Because I'd buy an iPhone just to use it.

    @HeartBurnKid: Agent of R.O.A.C.H.: how about you buy an iphone, take pictures of your self, chop them to be icons, jailbreak previously procured iphone, replace the app icons with your custom ones just like that guy did! :)

    I love the iphone theme. It's so adorable. Also, I'm always impressed by how the Apple employees reacted to Adam's Mac.

    Oh, and the forklift video was so sad. All that vodka gone :(

    After taking lots of computer classes in college and learning how everything comes together you see how humans have used one machine to build another to build another and so forth. The obvious reasoning for the robot uprising becomes inescapable.

    Kudos to you for using "deus ex machina" in its literal sense and not to describe the literary technique.

    Unrelated: my favorite descriptive term for a literary technique is Mary Sue. For no other reason than it's an easy way to abbreviate all of the many faults with Twilight.

    @FrankenPC: I dont remember exactly but im 99% sure Wesley came much later in the series. Almost like how when a sitcom is dying they bring in an annoying little brat baby/niece/droppedoffkid to try and breathe "life" into the show but just makes people hate it more and more.

    @aprather: Sorry, but that's not the case. He was a "We need one of everything to appeal to everyone!" character, and his departure was part of the show improving and finding it's focus. Now while Wesley Crusher may be weaksauce, Wil Wheaton seems like an okay guy.

    @FrankenPC: I call that literary technique the "Scrappy Doo". Remember how much Scooby Doo sucked after they added Scrappy? It's the fallacy that you need to add a kid to a show to add amusement or appeal to a younger audience. It usually just ruins things.

    In reply to Whoever Writes Comcast's Movie Descriptions Is a Genius
    We watched the Snoop Dogg movie around Halloween time, and let me tell you- it was 'dogg' gone awful.
    I mean, Jason Alexander with a British accent? Aries Spears being a super cereal actor? Didn't work for me.
    But in line with most blacksploitation films, it was hilarious to see whitey as the super scary evil doers. (i'm white)
    And, death by caviar is about as excellent as you can get.
    Man, the more I think about this movie, the more I realize I actually DO love it!

    SPOILERS! Snoop Dogg 'asplodes a poodle.

    In reply to Every College Student Should Just Buy a Typewriter
    Maybe I'm biased because I'm an engineering student (90% of notes are mathematical), but in my math and electrical engineering classes NOBODY uses laptops for note-taking. It's pencil and notebooks.

    @impala79: Same here. In engineering, you're almost completely writing down equations and visualizations. No way a laptop can keep up with it.

    I will mention, however, in the last 2 years of school, I bought a Toshiba tablet. I cannot tell you how much I LOVED it. Combined with one note, I could draw amazing diagrams and switch between colors/highlighters/shapes, etc.

    It's one of the reasons I hated Comcast's guide so much. Is is so hard to be independent and non-critical? They frequently insult characters and movies that I enjoy very much. Lohan is definitely not one of them but why would you want to insult your customers viewing choices?
