I think one of the things you fail to mention is it's antiquated email/Enterprise Activation system. I work in corporate IT at a medium-sized, newish (founded in 2004) finance/tech company and we HATE BlackBerries so much that we limit the number of available BlackBerry Exchange licenses to 20.

Best. Comment. Ever. Period.

Yeah, I went/go to UChicago and this building is really just for storing rarely used books. We have seven different libraries on campus with something like 13 million volumes, 42 archival documents and photos, and other random shit, so this system will be helpful in allowing us to keep books on campus.

And this is me apologizing.

There was a time when I would have gone back and forth with you on this, but it's like arguing with people who say Obama is a IslamofacistNaziSociaCommunist: pointless.

Except that windows was used to describe the windows within operating systems. Indeed, there are several long articles and books that detail this very point yet Microsoft still was able to secure a trademark on the term. Apple popularized the term "AppStore" (which can pretty well be tracked by when and how it came…

I'ma say this and only this: Apple has a pretty valid point in saying that it's trademark is as valid as Microsoft's Windows trademark. It's not an issue of Apple doing no wrong so much as an issue of they have a trademark and others don't. No one used the term "AppStore" or its derivatives before Apple did and no…

@CubemonkeyNYC: I just got to work and there are 12 people here in an office of 131.

Get it together, East Coast.

@drongch: I think the both of you may be misreading what is actually going on. The information as provided deals with how much value the recipient actually attributes to it and is getting at a much larger issue—i.e. the deadweight loss that is created by gift giving. When a person buys an iPad for themselves, they…

@roguedandelion: Except that many sources report it was rape. Like the New York Times here: [www.nytimes.com]

@roguedandelion: Except that Sweden had him arrested for rape and sexual assault, not "not using a condom properly." Also, it's Sweden, which has fairly robust protections against the exact type of setup against leakers and whistleblowers that is implied by saying this is a setup.

I don't know, man. Assange had been having problems with sexy times accusations for a while before this most recent leak, so much so that I recall he had previously been questioned about it. I'm not saying it's impossible that he was set up, but to immediately jump to that conclusion without any evidence besides…

This guy makes me wildly uncomfortable.

@Jae Wan You: With respect, you are incorrect. There a distinction remains between the use of the objective and the subjective pronoun in casual and formal speech. Using one for the other is incorrect in exactly the same way that the is incorrect: "Me went to the store today and me bought a shirt for she." People,…

It's "who's suing whom"

@olternaut: No, seriously. I'm not saying I want a story; I simply don't understand why this is.

Seriously, this is a news story? I had this same surgery when I was 15 (it's called a chiari decompression) and have the same shunt with the same x-rays to boot. Fancier still, I have a microchip implant that controls the flow of fluid and is remote activated but no one wrote a news story about me. Lame. Also:…

@Dacker: I'm sure like ten people are gonna point this out before I even finish writing this, but: [www.princeton.edu]
