    Have you come from an alternate universe where the iPhone is still only on a single carrier in the US and people actively browse and play games simultaneously on a screen that fits in your pocket (on any OS)? If so, welcome to our reality. You'll find things are different here.

    Thank you. That's exactly how I feel about it. The double tap and swipe is a great one-handed method of interaction. Don't fix what isn't broken.

    Well, first of all, you don't "hold" the home button down. It's a double tap of the home button. There is no holding involved. The double tap (no hold) is what makes multiple application management a one-handed process on iOS devices.

    Agreed. The reason I like the multitasking as is is that it can all be done with one hand. Also, holding the home button for multitasking conflicts with holding it down for Siri.

    I've never felt like the current implementation of multitasking was clunky, personally. I think it's battery efficient, and makes sense on a device who's screen doesn't really seem fit for having multiple apps running on-screen. That said, I'd be happy to see an improvement if they think they have one.

    I know you were just kidding, and in retrospect I broke one of my cardinal rules of commenting: don't be douchey when you know the other person is just joking. I'm sorry.

    I used to be fortunate enough to live a stone's throw away to a Stumptown roaster in Portland, OR. I could walk there in the morning when my coffee ran out and only be 10 minutes worse for wear.

    Not all Americans. By Americans I'm sure you mean people living in the Americas. North, Central, and South. Of course, even if you mean North Americans (and then of course by North Americans we could be talking about Canadians or US citizens) you'd be wrong. I'm a North American, and I drink my coffee black about 90%

    Sorry, wrong place.

    Hahahaha! "In lesbians". Either that's the greatest typo of all time, or I'm not "in the know with the lingo". I'm kinda hoping it's the first.

    I love my Bialetti, and my french press, and my vacuum pot, and my chemex... I love coffee gear. I was warned by a friend of mine that if I started down the path of coffee snobbery, I would end up buying an espresso machine. I think he's going to be right.

    They've redesigned the thermoblock and are using a PID.

    Sitting in my home I find the one-to-one to be just about the most accurate representation possible. I slice at a particular angle, and with about 99% accuracy I get what I put in. The lag is very, very slight, even unnoticeable after a while.

    I think the non-GCC locations are a must for a show that is currently situated on a community college campus. Eventually, everyone has to graduate, and at that point, you either end the show or you transition to other environs. If they end it with graduation, next year would be it. If they continue after graduation,

    Agreed. Across the board.

    I seem to be among the few Community/HIMYM fans. There seems to be a pretty strong divide. I get it, but only sort of. I can understand the hate on any number of laugh track infested sitcoms, but I really enjoy the characterization on HIMYM, and I feel like the story telling is pretty decent.

    Okay, so they're vague categories. Those are still qualities I appreciate about each. You already pointed out that they all failed to find an audience before being canceled. I'm not begging you to like the show, it either resonates with you or it doesnt.

    Wait, wait, wait, wait... You STOPPED watching BECAUSE of one of the paintball episodes? Also I'd compare Community to any one of the other series I mentioned because they all featured strong casts and writing that didn't lean on convention.

    Hahahaha. That is pretty spot on.

    Did you intend that as a reply to the OP?
