Your friendly neighborhood Man here to agree that Diet Dr P is really, really good. Sometimes hard to get at vending machines. It's the only diet soda that doesn't taste like [insert awful noun here]. This 10 stuff sounds dumb—what could 10 calories do to make Diet Dr P better? Bizarre. #notMyDemographic

This is very funny, and I will share that with my wife. Do we do #cotd here, like on Gawker? If so, Win.

Exactly. And the "not very forgiving" thing brought me up short. When I was younger, that wouldn't have been good enough. Now that I'm (1) married, (2) my wife is probably too old to easy conceive, and (3) I've had the Big Snip anyway, it's not a concern any more. But compliance with the level of vigilance needed to…

Thank you. This whole story is a triumph of credulous journalism with selective quotations from semi-expert "scientists" yielding a lot of mumbo jumbo that suggests no actual link—even correlative—between Johnson's baby shampoo and all the bad things that are supposed to result from it. Oh, yeah, formaldahyde and likel…

It's not like the foul excreta is actually leaking from the diapers, after all (which, if it happened, would totally defeat the purpose of the ad, methinks).

Yes, including the really mean-spirited AT&T ad where the wife totally goes off on the doddering husband. Not funny at all. Hurtful and mean. They've lost me as a customer forever.

Oh, I so shared this with my wife, who would write like this, and it will make her laugh. It was the LOL line of the whole article.

The first time I saw a Juicy Couture product was when it was worn by a "co-ed" at the decidedly co-ed university I taught at about ten years ago. Grey sweat pants with the word "Juicy" across her ass. Sorta brought me up short—I'd seen everything by the point (my university was largely populated with Lon Guylanders…

I am trying to get my dad to write such a book, because it would rock (he's seen some amazing stuff) and to get to know him better. At least he's still alive... So yeah, sorry, carpe_k9006—you're in a distinct minority, and kind of a jerk about it.

This was a preemptive move on Apple's part. They want to avoid something like this happening in their store: [www.theonion.com]

How about a vote for halting the use of "heinous" to describe anything except what secret police do in totalitarian countries, or the Bush administration, OK? Cosmo, yes, I mean you.

Before you do that upgrade to Lion, make sure it works for you. I have a shiny new iMac with Lion at the office and it's giving my IT folks all sorts of fits, because various things that worked in Snow Leopard don't work in Lion, like the software they use to join my computer to shared drives on the university…

I think a lot of us who use all sorts of tech—Apple and otherwise—are respectful. I use all sorts of devices with all sorts of OSes, and I am sure most Giz readers are the same. But we can't deny Jobs' influence. Nice post.

Nicely done, Mat. Sometimes I think Giz gets carried away. Not today. This is a fine tribute, and reflects what a lot of folks are thinking now. I feel like I've seen the end of an era (cliche, I know), and the future doesn't look quite as promising now. Here's to hoping Jobs has inspired others to be as good at…

They don't make a profit, so how could they "reinvest" their "earnings"? And what would they break up into. I am sorry to be so obvious with the questions, but your argument makes no sense because it appears to not understand the nature of the postal service at all, including the legal constraints under which it…

This would be a big boost for Sprint if it were true. Alas, it's not. As a Sprint customer, I am torn—I want them to be financially healthy, and perhaps, if this really did happen, it would yield more 4G goodness in unserved areas. But it could also be a total bandwidth pig, leaving me high and dry. But, hey, if it…

I agree with a fair bit of what you say here, and in your response to clowncone. But here's a problem: junk mail ends up subsidizing first class mail. Fortunately, my letter carrier does a pretty good job of bundling the junk mail separate from real mail. And I keep a recycling bin next to the door.

So, N=2 now. Which doubles the power of the argument, I guess. But, yes, the USPS does f*ck up a fair bit, and more than UPS and FedEx. Because the USPS has to do things that neither UPS nor FedEx are legally required to do.

Finally. Someone who gets it.

So, you want the government to make a profit? That can be arranged. But the thing is, you don't understand the broader reason for the existence of the postal service at all. And there is "that large of a difference." Here it is: UPS and FedEx are not required, by law, to serve everyone. Only the USPS is. But, yeah,…
