"Get a Gym Membership"

Yeah, I didn't see anything either: https://plus.google.com/111203177111013925515/about

Based on the picture, it looks like Microsoft was just awarded the patent for enjoying electronics in a living room setting. I hope the royalties aren't too high.

I'm still annoyed that Verizon's Galaxy Nexus doesn't get updates directly from Google the way the rest do. It's pretty disingenuous to use the Nexus name on something that doesn't actually get treated like one.

Crap, I just realized Mat was gone. At least he's back at Wired.

Do make sure that client funds are held separate, secure and invested according to their goals and objectives, but why try to protect a company like Knight from losing it's own money? It's not systemically important; another firm will gladly take it's place in whatever stocks it made a market in.

Whoever was on the other side of their trades, so, many others.

I believe you're mistaken. Knight Capital is mostly a market maker. They do trading for institutional clients, but I think all of this is proprietary loss, meaning, their own account.

I like it.

Most Chick-Fil-A's I've been to are obsessively fast with their drive-through. What is normally a long line elsewhere takes about five minutes there.

Mind posting the name or ticker for those funds?

There are some helpful people to follow on twitter if you're a stock trader. People have been using the cashtag thing for a while now. Only difference now is that it actually creates a link to other posts with $X in it. There's actually a popular site that curates tweets with cashtags in them: stocktwits.com

Agreed that this drum-heavy beat is more interesting than the sub-music stuff he has now, but it seems his whole schtick was just as intensely unlikable then as it is now.

Yeah, that's it. The first time I watched it, I guess I just assumed the jackass could determine whether or not a laptop was actually a Mac.

The ultimate failure was the assumption that people would ignore crappy comments, although I can't believe anyone at Gawker would be so naive to think that in the first place. I actually don't mind the interface; it has it's advantages and you get used to it.

I actually can't tell if the 'basically' guy bought a mac or a windows pc. It sounds like Apple poo-pooing third party sellers, which is stupid because Apple has agreements with those retailers. Are they warning you against unauthorized sellers? Yeah, I don't see how this was a good idea.

I was thinking maybe a lot of people still have it as their home screen.

Since I'm not seeing it discussed yet, I'm betting he didn't mention the possibility of the Vikings sailing over to Greenland before Columbus because that connection didn't actually stick.
