Yes, fondly. God that thing was just the perfect tablet for me. Actually meant to replace paper and not be a little portable tv. My heart sinks as I think of what could have been...

A representative for Apple said the following, "You are using it wrong."

"If you thought Apple squeezes all those dollars out of your based"

Whoever came up with the title to this post is either the biggest EE nerd on the planet, or the smartest blogger to ever live.

Doing the same goddamn thing tomorrow! I'm going to Lowes for the wood though. They have some beautiful red oak I've been wanting to play with.

I think to call something a hook, a little more engineering is required...

The day I decided to never use facebook was my birthday in 2004. It was only available to colleges then, and just starting to take off. I got three, 3 phone calls from friends wishing me a happy birthday in which I was asked a)if I was on FB, and b) why was I not on FB?

Agreed, and I will try to offer the reasons. Specifically, 22 or so reasons.

"Company police force" does sound insane. I suggest using the more common "private investigators", "security guards", "bodyguards" or "mall cops".

You could manually spin a magnet inside a coil of wire while you shove random objects up your ass. There might be some energy loss, but it is basically what you are describing...

Actually, two first cousins are only something like 1% more likely to have a child with birth defects or developmental issues.

I was, stupidly, approaching it from a design perspective. Similar close would imply some inherent similarity, like in genetic material. You asked how would one "pictorially represent" such a concept, and that's what I thought of.

Wait, what we?

The blue father (with the stash) looks like he keeps his secret (and unwilling) boyfriend locked in a cage in his closet.

I didn't say they don't, but Mrs. Allred's press conferences don't serve the client (other than attempting to bias potential jurors in their favor, which is a very very weak tactic) they only serve to inflate Allred's ego, and prove that 1) she can't act worth a shit and 2) she is damn good at hyperbole.

Oh you win, Sir!

And Apple is by far not the only company with it's own "police force". Hell, even some individuals have them.
