Nelson Mandela's Funeral Was Planned, Practiced, Therefore Mourny.

"He looked right at me, and now he's saying he didn't even see me? How is that possible?"

This is a fun feature. You should do a similar one for athletes from different sports.

I guess it's back on the downswing then. I haven't been on a college campus in a few years; the last time I was must have been when it was peaking.

Yeah, I'm really glad I finished college before it became a big thing. I mean, it's a fun drinking game, but it seems to have taken over in an unhealthy way.

Yeah but if they just used straight pipes they'd be practically silent (according to the original poster) :)

Have you ever been near anything that flies (other than a hot-air balloon) that wasn't really, really loud?

The loop thing is fairly common - a lot of these systems are built using trigrams (I know Window's Phone is) and when you deal with phrases like "the middle of the" you end up getting shunted back into a loop. We were playing around with an iPhone version and started to see the same behavior show up.

Very fine article - though it looks to me like the patent figure you're referencing has more to do with autocorrect than with prediction. Though as the Swiftkey guy mentions, the two can work together very well to make autocorrect much more accurate.

I talk to my wife all the time in the car and I do none of those things.

If only someone had told the pitcher to watch out for McNeely, on account of him being Irish.

Yeah, I don't see how pointing out that even the SEC defensive player of the year couldn't prevent the South Carolina offense from absolutely erupting all over the field has anything to do with homophobia.

Andy Reid was one of the very first people to test Willy Wonka's "Three-Course-Dinner Chewing Gum", back while they were still working out the kinks in the tomato soup course.

I appreciate the response Eric, but I guess we're going to have to disagree - for the reasons I mentioned, I believe that using a fingerprint as a password is inherently more dangerous than using a password. A password requires your consent and active participation to obtain, a fingerprint does not. As far as the…

Well, what I'm suggesting is that it gives criminals much more incentive to put you in that state (laugh all you want, but a good friend of mine got dosed with something at the airport a few weeks ago - his theory is that they intended to steal his laptop). Prior to this sort of access, all they'd get is what you're…

Sadly, many women have been facing this threat for a while.

Of course you wouldn't be worrying about that - you'd be unconscious! Meanwhile, whoever put you under will be plundering your accounts.

I mean, it's not like a "this is going to happen to YOU" sort of thing (because it probably won't), but fingerprints (and other biometrics, for that matter) as passwords are a bad idea in general because they can be obtained and used while you are asleep/unconscious/otherwise incapacitated. And opening up your ENTIRE…

...and here we go.

Or at least Swype doesn't *say* it does that...:)
