Kind of a light news day, huh?

I think you are missing the point. While you are correct in saying that Dash is about convenience, not savings, you fail to recognize that is all some consumers are looking for.

Why is it that a cop can't grab you at a gas station?

However if you're making $45,000 a year but only spending $40,000 a year, without any investments you'd have $50,000 in the bank in just 10 years!

This is the kind of thing that drives me nuts. It's like when people say "It's easy. Go get a job." As if suggesting that it's not quite so easy means you "don't get it."

You're trying to overlay a Call of Duty or Skyrim experience over The Static Speaks My Name, which is going to disappoint you.

Something you might not have noticed, Patrick: You can actually electrocute the man in the cage by going into the laundry room and opening the circuit box. It doesn't change the sequence of events except that when you go to the vault where he's kept you find a corpse in the cage instead of a man on all fours.

I love Top Gear and I've enjoyed every episode I've ever watched, but... ya know... the guy is racist and sexist in the extreme and belligerent to boot. It's ok to fire people like that. The world isn't so devoid of talent that they can't be replaced.

I can't tell you how many times I've seen or heard about something Apple is planning to release and thought "That doesn't seem so awesome," but when I actually used it I thought "Oh…

What I like about stories such as these is that it's clearly how things change. Little by little. One voice at a time speaking up to say "Yeah, I don't wanna do it the way we've always done it." All those drops eventually forming a tidal wave.

Bit of a stereotype, for sure, but at least there's a mix of female stereotypes instead of just "sex kitten."

My favorite article from Cracked about this kind of discussion.

"When You Fail, It's Because You're 'Lazy'" is my favorite Archie Bunkerism.

Not so. I've never seen that screen in my life and Siri displays my contact card when I ask it who the phone belongs to.

Yes. When you lose your iPhone you can remotely post a message on the lock screen. iOS has a lot of nifty little "lost yer phone" features, actually.

Good reply, man. Really good.

Just dropping by to see how many times my name appears in the comments.

Well, I can't stand either one of them... so I guess all three of us have something in common.
