Stardock has Start10 already available. I had the 30 day trial running on my Tech Preview install and it worked perfectly.

There was also a story about a guy who bought an apartment and the building right next door is a nightclub or music venue of some sorts that had been there for 20+ years and then he started bitching about the noise.

One of my favorite things about being out to see on an Aircraft carrier was going up topside very early in the morning to watch the dolphins play in front of the bow of the ship.

Amazon is about to build a big distribution center in the Twin Cities area, so I’m guessing we’ll get this same day delivery at some point.

What the hell happened to the 7” tablet? That is the best size for reading, and now that my original Nexus 7 is on it’s last legs I’ve been looking for a replacement and I can’t find a decent one.
