This must have been a lot of work. I mean, a lot! God damn.

Desktops? Sure, fine, I guess. Portables, though? I’m assuming you meant laptops and not mobile devices. Microsoft has less than 3% worldwide market share for their mobile devices, which is practically literally irrelevant.

If the flame was hot enough, the flamethrower would have won, but since the flamethrower can’t produce a hot enough flame to flash-boil cold water on contact, it was never going to win.

Google would be Star Trek, and Microsoft is largely irrelevant.

Oh! This is easy! Fire everybody. EVERYBODY.

After my five minutes are up someone else can come along and “fix” it.

The firing is really just punishment for decades of mostly god-awful media.

It’s not a mod, it’s a trainer. It’s an application that runs alongside the game that gives you cheats and powers you wouldn’t ordinarily have. It doesn’t actually alter any of the game’s content, so = not a mod.

STILL AWESOME THOUGH!

And the NSA. They want more access to user data than they already have. Which is why I know better. Google doesn’t want to provide them with access, but if they don’t, they can get tried in a secret military court that the public has absolutely no access to.

*sigh*

I hope I can leave the US soon.

And where, exactly, would a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle go to get a tattoo over his whole arm? That’s a multi-trip job. He’d have had to go back 5 or 6 times for a tat that size. And it would cost a couple grand.

As a former Google employee:

*sigh*, Planetes was such a great show. I should watch it again.

Nothing moving at 17,500 mph is harmless, regardless of size.

I like the idea, but I see one major problem with it, at least politically. The laser may be seen by Russia and China (among others) as a breach of the Outer Space Treaty, which was established in 1967 to ensure, among other things, the demilitarization of…

I take you haven’t spent much time in Japan. It was more a joke about Japanese culture than this particular Taco Bell.

The Japanese are all about customer service. They go to amazing lengths to ensure customer satisfaction, putting up with untold abuse and going to levels of congeniality and service that you will…

This child is smiling whilst getting a needle jabbed into his bicep. You know what kind of children do that?
Future serial killers.

Because liability. Because their lawyers are terrified of being sued by anyone for anything, and so their fear translates into fucking stupidity.

Only the Japanese wold staff twice as many people as necessary for a taco restaurant.

UGH, FUCK. Ridiculous.

“Amazon” is a platform, now?

I’d have no problem with that as long as it didn’t do it too much.

If this were a real game, the camera mechanics would piss me the fuck off.

To the point where I wouldn’t/couldn’t play it.

I wouldn’t worry, if I were you. As far as social technology goes the US is about the last 1st world nation on the planet to transition. Norway is doing it now, the rest of Europe will do it in a few years, the US will follow suit in 10 or 20. Just like with celluar networks, fiber optics, NFID credit cards, etc etc…
