The photo has been turned 90˚ from how it was posted on Twitter. When you look at it in the original orientation, the lack of shadow from the dock connector makes more sense... it's just casting it roughly in line with the USB connector.

I guess I'm in the minority in that I live somewhere that Verizon has amazingly strong coverage and high data speeds over 3G virtually everywhere. Even way out in the desert in BFE, I have no problem listening to high quality music off Slacker or watching YouTube. I've posted video to Facebook on a jet ski in the…

New season of Firefly? ha ha

Even more impressive is that they got people to the moon and back on what amounted to a 2MHz processor and 4Kb of RAM... a 1990 pinball machine had 8mHz to work with...

Then just wait another 20 years when it's people instead of a rover under that parachute... there'll be a couple billion people dancing like fools and tearing up like the JPL staff last night...

What the hell... I could have sworn they were showing much later times than that previously... I need more sleep apparently...

Love that the updates are coming from the future...

I'm sure we could identify a Kardashian sister, or some other reality TV "stars" to balance out the other two. Hell, the whole 900-blade wind farm maybe.

If fish are UPS-rated, at least the rocket doesn't toss them over the fence.

What else is new? It snows in NYC or on the East Coast, it's national news. It rains a lot, national news. Temperatures get above 95˚, it's national news. Nobody gives a damn when it hits 120˚ here though... all you heard about was people suffering in 95˚ weather in the midwest and east coast...

It will be a long time before network TV comes to STBs en masse... there's just too much money involved with the existing advertising scheme and the risk of pissing off the local affiliate who have a lot invested as well is too great.

Well, I guess we know what the 'One More Thing...' will be at the iPhone 5 launch.

My thought exactly. Like most other TP dispensers, they'll make sure to mount them as close as possible to the front edge of the pot, and low enough to get a healthy amount of splashback. But something tells me that they haven't experienced the glory of a US truck stop men's room stall.

So what happens if Jonah Falcon wears them?

I find it annoying just for the fact it's faked. And the first time I tried to load the page, that tab crashed.

Everything looks OK hear now. Oh, weight, eye sea it in the URL.

Yep, I work in TV and the automation system that runs our channels uses serial control for a couple devices, most importantly the router that actually controls what's on air. I recently had to swap out an Ethernet->serial adapter after one failed, and the new one required a null modem cable (as opposed to straight…

Thank god for profile review. Got tired of other people checking me into the bathroom with them...

It was cool to see him crack a couple when he did his Big Bang Theory cameo too...

That's where indian reservations come in handy. Or make a trip to Pahrump, NV. Prices are about 25% of what they charge on the res here, and you can get everything including aerial shells there...
