Honey, what temp is inside our beautiful house?

There's certainly similarities in design between Apple's new desktop os and Microsoft's windows 7 when it comes to transparency but that doesn't make them lazy or scared to try new things. Apple was the first to launch a laptop with a trackpad with their PowerBook 500 series back in the 90's and now just about every…

I think you misunderstand how Fuel Cells work. They don't take water as fuel, water is exhaust. They take hydrogen as fuel, and combine it with oxygen, which when bonding releases energy. Conversely, it /takes/ energy to split water into hydrogen and oxygen.

Ehhh nope. Forget the "surviving" or rebuilding yadda yadda. I'm just going to put REM's "its the end of the world" song on continuous repeat on my iPhone and pull the trigger when the ultimate apocalypse happens. I'm too old and tired to help or build society from scratch.

My reaction to the whole "end of the world" business.

I would shit myself and my face would rain tears of happiness and life-fulfillment if Patrick Stewart nodded in my general direction on the street.

The Road. This book depressed me for weeks. Completely, unrelentingly dismal vision of how the Earth ends.
