Dear Toshiba,

Wow. Never ever heard of them, but I like it.

I'd love to see an investigation into this as well. But since this happened in Ontario, where investigations are conducted by the SIU which never, ever finds that officers have done anything wrong, I can already tell you the outcome: the officer did nothing wrong and was acting in the interest of public safety in a…

"there has been no confirmed report of anybody in the world being injured or severely impacted by any re-entering debris."

Not a bad alphabet. I prefer this lower-tech one.

Reading suggestion: Why Beautiful People Have More Daughters. There's a great chapter on homosexuality that might get you thinking. It's not new, it's not about overpopulation, and it's not a condition of modern society.

I do have to play devil's advocate here. You know that a school is a kind of a business. It's a school's business to teach what and to whom the community finds acceptable. If you read the original article, you know that the governor states that it would be okay to have separate schools for coloured people, and to…

Regarding Card's stance on homosexuality (which includes the old, "I'm not against gay marriage; a gay man has as much right to marry a woman as I have"): "Methinks the lady doth protest too much."

Well, I'd paid for the whole thing, after all, hadn't I?

I was right.

This is my favourite review in a good long time. I am about to read it to my wife. I think she will love me for it.

I guess you're probably right. It's just that the way these things are constructed, you're left feeling like you're missing out on some nuances by only knowing half the story. That feeling gets to me, so then I want the other half, then I want some context, so I buy back-issues. So, basically, the reason it ticks…

Dear DC,

Second week in a row that I can't read the apps of the week feature, one of my favourite features at the site. Not on Firefox, not on Chrome, and not on my iPad. So, good work, designers.

It's true. If they would include an "agree with the analysis contained herein" button, I'd "like" that.

Once again, here's my problem with the "like" button. I like this article, but if I "like" this article, then all sorts of people will be wondering why I approve of the rule-34-ification of female characters. Did I get that rule right, or is that the one about how quickly Hitler comes up in flamewars? Please let it…

That was a good read. I particularly liked her "all the worst parts of arranged marriage with none of the upsides" point. It's true. The arranged marriage apologists say that at least it's someone who knows and loves you picking the person for you. Destiny, on the other hand, does not love you.

All this coverage is making me desperate to read the comic on Comixology, but it's not available until 2PM. Urg. Great interview.

21 And the Lord God sent a deep sleep on the man, and took one of the bones from his side while he was sleeping, joining up the flesh again in its place: 22 And the bone which the Lord God had taken from the man he made into a woman, and took her to the man.

I think those passages fall into the old "blind pig gets the occasional acorn" saying. There's nothing scientific about growing people from other people's ribs. Ears in petrie dishes, sure.
