@Kajigger Me Timbers: I know, right? I wonder if alt-me owns an iPhone?

OMG, this map is tracking the races in a alternate US as well!!

@Ashaleeeee: The company I work for is pushing Sharepoint hard but they are implementing very poorly. It has potential, they just aren't doing it right.

@rogger_frogger: If they decide to try this on spiders I'm just gonna go ahead and paint the ceiling with my brains. If I ever saw a monster spider running loose I would probably crap my pants so hard I would turn myself inside-out anyway.

While I agree that Google has a point, I don't really see what they think they will accomplish here. The government is a slow moving beast with a metric ass-ton of procedures, desktop work instructions, standards, etc, etc, etc that are built with the office suite. It would be extremely expensive for them to switch to…

@markps: Maybe because at some point they might want some support (other than help files), don't really get that with free software generally.

I really want to say something inspired that deals with the idea of left vs right and really puts it into perspective. But all I can think is GO PROP 19!

@vsound: Anyone who believes that the poor economy and all our current global problems started in 2000 and not much earlier is misinformed at best. Some of the crap policies that led to the housing meltdown started as far back as when Carter was in office. Every president that has been in the oval office since then…

@Facebook: Actually my IE (yes, I have to use IE at work) flash-blocker add-on spell checked that and corrected it. I just clicked the pretty underlined word (and picked the wrong one *hangs head in shame*).

@Joe Legeckis: Good points. My question for Apple though is why is the Air only getting 4 hours of battery with a SSD? Not saying it's a smoking gun or anything, just seems like this should get better battery life than that.

@RawheaD: Only problem there is that the portability of this computer is a big selling point. If a road-warrior needs the ability to burn discs or play DVDs, having to carry around a separate external drive is not a good thing.

@EthanPeter: Yes, it does make a difference. But is that difference worth $700? To some it will be, to others that's insanity. But, love it or hate it, it is a sexy bitch.

Needs more of this.

@vwgti303: Exactly what I thought, especially with that image of the dude scrunched up against the wall.

@spectralveil: Paycheck to paycheck here too. I just had to save up to get a boxsprings and matress (the one we had was killing us) and that sucked. If I hadn't got some overtime a few weeks ago I'd still be saving up.

@rick23: I can't claim it, my wife saw it one of the sewing/crafting sites she goes to.

@spectralveil: I agree, but in the end doesn't help someone with a family of 5, one income and no credit cards. ;)

Or....$20.
