I think it's at the point where thermos is the generic name for a vacuum flask. Just like escalator is the generic name for moving stairs. Once it's deemed a generic trademark, I do not think there is any recourse for the company in question.

Nope. I'm in the same boat.

Considering the original art used their design, their logo and their name, I don't see why you are complaining about this and not complaining about Warhol being too commercial in his art.

Mine haven't arrived yet. They were picked up on the 13th by USPS. I assume they are stuck at the border waiting to get into Canada. It normally doesn't take this long for stuff to get to me from Massachusetts. Still within the window of delivery time though. I just want them to get here so I can play with them.

The odds are beyond excellent - practically guaranteed - because an OS always has accompanying hardware at launch. Are you trying to tell me there won't be any Windows 8 phones the day Windows Phone 8 is released? It wouldn't have that release date if the phones wouldn't be available that day. You can't buy just the…

Thermos is a brand name. Unless these are made by Thermos, they are not an actual Thermos. They are vacuum flasks.

They should know a news organization needs to employ professionals, which none of them are.

Do you know what date Halloween is on?

"Why strain to type out full words, when a universally understood abbreviation could do the job just as well?"

Except that the people dying have Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome, not Korean hemorrahgic fever (now known as Hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome). HPS is fatal, HFRS is not (from what I have read). They both have the same symptoms, with HPS having additional ones that are fatal. It's still important to not confuse…

The fact that he wrote that Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome used to be known as Korean hemorrhagic fever doesn't help. HPS can be fatal. From what I have read, Hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome - which used to be called Korean hemorrhagic fever - is not. I guess reading comprehension is not required to work here.

"The hantavirus pulmonary syndrome—formerly Korean hemorrahgic fever..."

Second paragraph.

Gizmodo is a waste of time.

You don't think those kiddie hackers wouldn't try to use a drone to kill people? You know they would, BOY.

That was a good game. I had forgotten about it.
