When the NBA Playoffs were on, that thing was my liveblog via Twitter.

Well, I think we'll be reading about that in the future on i09.

I've heard (from both previous employees and customers), that Best Buy audio installers were no better than the no-name ghetto "$99 full boom boom box deal" shops you'd find on MLK Blvd.

The point isn't for them to be surprising, it's monumental. Now, when questioned about a theory, instead of theoretical formula and supplemental theories, we can point and say, "look, there has been proof of its existence here."

Really? REALLY?! I'm disgusted by that owner. Unless it's Mark Cuban. He deserves it.

Yup. Seconded.

The mantra of confidence?

It's called a 2011 Ford Explorer. This wasn't called the 2012 new iPad, just like it wasn't the 2011 (or whenever it was released) new iPad.

Except for the fact that, iPad 2 and new iPad side by side without being powered on, they are difficult to distinguish.

Great advice. I'll be really considering one in the future, thanks.

I have considered that. I just need to get over the initial embarrassment of stalling it while driving off the lot. Which brings up the question, I wonder how many times salesmen see some young punk get a MT car and stall it while leaving?

lol yes, nothing like a "sink or swim" situation to help force your hand. Yours is a much more interesting story than mine - mine just involves a Ford Probe (do I even have to include the "shitty" part?).

Good correction. I shall stand corrected.

I was at a national conference for SHPE and had just finished doing my rounds at the career expo. They had a little "Passport" book that was used for a drawing - the more stamps you got from different companies' recruiters, the more entries you got. I was the first of my friend to turn in it, and while waiting for…

Not if you include a "Play This while reading" CD that has Carly Rae Jepsen on it.

The funny part is that maybe 35 to as high as 50% of those offers are probably in a job that doesn't require much computing science.

Thank you, I was wondering if someone would say this.

The hardest thing is to get moving from a dead stop. After that, upshifting and downshifting is a breeze. Just my opinion though.

For the longest time, I've always wanted a manual transmission car. On the rare chance I get to drive a friends' car with a stick shift, I've always loved it. But then I drove a car with flappy paddles, and that was fun too. I don't see stick shifts going extinct too soon, but definitely agree that they'll be phased…
