American kids or Austrian kids?

I'm guessing you're a 17 year old that works the T-Mobile booth in the mall and thinks the $14K a year you make on salary+commission is kickass since Mom covers rent and food. Good for you!

You're overpriced supermodel mistress.

Look at some of the latest array designs:

Hearted.

You forgot all the people that work at the coal plant, the lifecycle costs of the coal plant, the coal to power the coal plant, the fuel to get the coal to the coal plant.... Oh if life were only as simple as your math. Once you develop a full life cycle cost analysis over 50 years to compare capital construction,…

Is that really the best thing? We need diverse habitats, not a single vanilla system. The extremes are part of the tradeoff for the beauty of seasons. There's a climate change issue here - that the extremes are getting more extreme, but trying to engineer nature on a large scale doesn't work. By trying to put out…

My thumb-typing is en fuego.

Yup. 25-50 years depending on classification.

Agreed. If there were at least links to the documents so we could peruse them easier that would at least lighten the dissapointment. Now I'm not amused and frustrated that a nominal amount of clicks didn't satisfy my semi-peaked curiosity.

Me too - plus Colbert to make sure I get both sides of the stories. ;) Or read the NYT on an iProduct.

I think this one's actually an excellent idea to get people easy access to information they can use. If the local DMV was this forward thinking and made it easier to keep registration, etc current through an app that would be great - if they did it under the guise of a driving game I'm fine with that.

What do you tell a girl with an Apple logo on each temple?

Rumor is that by Christmas they'll actually be giving Kindles away for free (at least some kind of promo where you buy $100 in ebooks and get one or something like that). They want Kindle to flood the market so people shop amazon, instead of iPad and Nook leading them to other stores. They're happier if you give…

When I was 16 I used to work all-day saturday shifts in a grocery store so I'd get random assignments like "clean the walk-in coolers" when things were slow. I'd go down the cleaning aisle and take anything that looked strong and useful to make my job easier, then just start spraying them on, one after the other,…

I like to use a layer of soap-scum on the outside to protect the inner layer of soap-scum against the glass. This works for a few months and then a quick wash by an undocumented worker seems to get everything sparkling again and see-thru again.

They're Target's house brand, right?

The trick is to use newspapers instead of paper towels for lint-free, streak-free windows. Wipe them until they're dry instead of wiping dirt and letting them air dry.

I agree, but this is where I think Gate's foundation (along with other big names) are different and can effect actual change. They don't provide blanket aid to governments but take on needed projects within these areas - solving preventable disease and beginning to provide infrastructure like clean water that lets…

Isn't it rumored that they actually just blew up a 1000 tons of TNT to try and make it look like they tested a nuke?
