It's bewildering to think, that Samsung, who arguably build the best displays, can't turn a profit from that division.

Mea culpa: missed that one.

Blockbuster is truly sad; the positively last location in my entire region, on Long Island, in Nassau County, is going through a liquidation sale.

I just think it's an overreaction. Really? We're going to start jailing teenage computer hackers, and because they hacked into *Facebook's* servers, of all places?

I for one wouldn't be worried if Iran had nukes.....just as long as the government wasn't run by medieval religious nuts who literally execute their gays. Really, they do.

Ha! Seriously, I have an old Nokia E71 in a drawer that could do that and more, what, almost five years ago?

You don't talk about public libraries' media collections, the same way you don't talk about Fight Club.
