Oh God, so many of the comments have the word "spanish" in them... I think it's started! *throws his phone across the room*

Sure, the Samsung S-word is cooler looking, but it's also huge! How are you going to smuggle that inside your ass? No thanks, I'll stick with my iShiv!

I... might not totally disagree with you, though I don't actually agree with you. Their hardware is great - both functionally and aesthetically. Their software (on the iPhone) is, almost without fail, either boring or bad. Mail is awful. Most of the rest are just not that great. With the exception of Weather and iCal,…

#Jeah!

Amen.

True, but having a right and being right aren't the same thing. I have the right to free speech, for instance, but that doesn't make it right to say every idiotic thing that comes into my head (and we all accept this, which is why we don't swear in front of children and grandmothers, typically).

It actually sounds like you kind of missed Jesus' whole point... because it sounds like you do exactly what he said you should be doing (continue to buy things as long as you stay there), at least some of the time. You even seem to recognize that you should. However, regardless of how the staff treats you (most people…

I'll be happy when that meme dies. "Oh no, you can't criticize the douchebag next to you because people are starving in Africa!" Sure you can. Recognizing that greater evils exist doesn't prevent you from tackling problems in your own backyard. If anything, it should inform why being thoughtful of others is a…

We'd be like kinesin! Also seen in this video, which is probably my favorite thing on YouTube, shown carrying a vesicle... sort of an analogue to us driving around to do stuff to pay for electricity and internet, to keep our nodes running.

No one thinks they're suggestible. Almost everyone thinks they're less affected by things like advertising than the average person. When they polled doctors who received freebies from pharmaceutical companies they overwhelmingly said they thought their peers' prescribing habits were affected by them, but said their…

I like how infomercials always make people look like morons. "Do you not know how to tell if you're holding a half cup or a quarter cup? Do you find yourself grabbing a measuring cup when you intended to grab a teaspoon? Never mess up your recipes again with the Magic Spoon!"

I dunno, I think that's pretty individual. My mom smoked while I was growing up, and so most of my associations with it are of her having to walk outside to smoke in the middle of something like a birthday party, and coming back smelling awful, and then later the sound of the hacking... ugh, makes me nauseous just…

I'm not sure from where you drew any of those conclusions you made about my argument. They certainly didn't come from anything I said.

I never said men in tech were more misogynistic than any other men. What I said (to you and the other guy who responded) was that there are a variety of reasons why women aren't in tech, and one of those reasons is the shit they have to put up with from men. That part isn't unique to the tech industry. The only reason…

That's cool, but the presence of stereotype threat doesn't discount the existence of harassment or unequal treatment. It just means that there's more going on. Some people are still being harassed, discriminated against, and having their gender used against them (see the article I linked). There's just also a…

Of course there are women in tech, but the presence of them doesn't deny the existence of discrimination or harassment - that's almost a contradiction in terms (they have to be there in order to be harassed). The fact that Yahoo has a female CEO means only that one group of people - the board of directors at Yahoo -…

I think the very nature of this article shows that men are keeping women out. The way that we treat women when they come into male-dominated fields absolutely affects how likely they are to stay in the field, and why wouldn't it? If every time you went into a bar they all threw shit at you, you wouldn't go back,…

Sure, gender roles play a part... which is why the article itself clearly shows some people think tech is not a space in which women belong. That's guys hewing to gender roles. "Girls don't belong in tech, so she must have given a BJ to get the job." While you may have great experience with the guys in tech, that…

Read the linked article? It's explained (but I'm not going to tell you, because I'm a dick).

This seems to assume that there aren't women in tech because women aren't into it... but how do you know women aren't into it because they're sick of the douchebags inhabiting the space? I used to know a girl who played D&D. She stopped because so many of the people she played with were idiots - staring at her tits,…
