Enlighten me. I currently use Google's Voice, Calendar, and Gmail widgets along withe 2 x 4 Evernote widget.

I do love the live tiles of Windows Phone. Its the rest of the OS (mainly notifications and support) that I don't like.

I'd love for iOS to pick up widgets because I don't think Android does them that well. Android's widgets can certainly be information dense, but it would look a lot better if they looked more integrated with the actual home screen. Right now, it just looks like blocky open windows that all follow different designs.

Except the comparison here was Androids and iPhones that can run Google Now. With Android, it's about 25% of phones currently being used. For iphone, it's everyone with a 3gs or up (though I'd be interested to see how 3gs really handles it).

I think I remember hearing something about him actually bashing his face with a brick before taking that album cover.

The problem is that each one of those 9,000 have it set as a part of their greater, local tax mix and, more importantly, is allocated to local spending. If the sales tax rate was standardized across the country, even if the proceeds were still for local uses, each area would have to compensate for the change using…

The PS4 supposedly has a much more pc-like architecture and the Nextbox is rumored to have an x86 processor.

Pretty sure it's top-line sales (you can easily and legally redirect how owners are paid to show a small business as having $0 in "profit" so this law should be based on top-line sales) and if you have employees and inventory costs, the retailers that have $1m in sales might not be able to handle the processing costs…

Hopefully they increase that to $10 million because plenty of small online sellers with sales between $1m-10m would be hurt by this.

I'm confused about how this affects Amazon. Most of the products I buy are from sellers on Amazon- not actually sold by them. Does the $1 million sales hurdle apply to the sellers or Amazon specifically? What about products sold by individuals, but fulfilled by Amazon?

Oops. I just typed in the ticker for the Dow on Google finance and since ticker symbols are usually in all caps (even though they're not acronyms either), I guess my brain decided to all cap the Dow.

The DOW dropped by almost 150 points in seconds: http://goo.gl/lSGwB

I haven't bothered with Modernmix yet and I won't with Start8 because I don't miss the Start Menu. Since I do most of my navigation by searching, W8 really wasn't that different for me.

That's not an oxford comma, but you might be joking in some weird, inside way that myself or The_Gribbler doesn't get.

Is the start screen much different than a drawer of apps? Further, if you just want to open some program that you normally don't use, why not just do a search? I now open most every program that way and it gets into muscle memory quickly. "Windows Key > CH > [Enter]" opens up chrome as quickly as anything and the same…

That was, without a doubt, "gay fucking shit".

I've never seen a video with a dead pixel. WEIRD. What are they trying to hide?
