Looks like that restriction has been lifted:

First those horrible cannibal photos on Gawker...

You know, my first instinct is to think that, perhaps, "deafness" is more of a peripheral problem here and that it's more about dealing with feelings of loneliness and isolation—perhaps even depression, which affect many different kinds of people. Sure, in David's case here, he's feeling isolated as a result of his

100 lbs. in six months? Sure...she's rich and can afford a full-time trainer and dietitian, so it's possible. A lot of it comes down to discipline, and having someone there keep you in line makes it all the easier to accomplish.

Well, availability of "space age" exercise equipment aside, most people still really don't have a reason not to exercise. I work out at a small, no-frills kind of gym, and I'm not really sure I touched a weight or machine in the first month I worked with a trainer after a lifetime of being out of shape. The problem

Hah...well, I think it was taken down, actually. In the comments, there's a gap between (as of this moment) 2 days and 45 minutes ago. But it would have been pretty funny if they were that clever!

It's the theme of the day on io9!

The U.S. is already quite burdensome on its expats when it comes to taxes. Let's forget about the obscenely wealthy like Saverin for a moment. The U.S. is one of (I believe) two countries that expects all of its citizens to file a worldwide income tax form yearly even if none of the income was generated in the U.S.

I'd go even further to say that everybody likes to think of themselves as the underdog these days, not just gamers. An extreme example is that of the extremely wealthy and powerful in America today; a lot of them genuinely and sincerely believe that they are being targeted and "oppressed," whether that be by

If I were to try and extrapolate meaning from all this—and, clearly, there have been a lot of this kind of rabble posted everywhere on the internet—it's that American culture, long defined by the legacy of race and racism, has now added into the mix a very British-kind of affliction, classism.

You're right on the mark here. Just sit back and enjoy the shit show like the rest of us.

Yes, Korean may have an alphabet (Hangul), but the orientation of the characters would make it more difficult than that of the standard Latin alphabet. So, again, I'm not sure if we can compare the two in terms of relative ease for medieval mass production.

I don't know the specifics, but I think it's because the app provider requires a server to enable push notifications the "correct way." Both Apple and Google are large enough that this is not a big deal to them. For smaller developers like Sparrow here, it's a significant expense; hence, if you want push

No, that's not correct. What you're describing is how to use Gmail in the default Mail app, which requires setting it up as an Exchange account. There is a separate Gmail app now that does do push email:

Yes, mine was that Sony Ericsson phone second from the right in the top picture. I'm pretty sure it's sitting in my basement somewhere too.

Not to mention that the SFX would have been nowhere near as great as they are now. The action film has changed immensely over the last decade. I think the sheer visual feast of action films nowadays has done a lot to make them popular with audiences.

You can't really "save" a language like Kusunda from dying, but formal study and preservation are certainly what will guarantee its immortality. I'm happy we, at least, have that.

I'm not sure Michael Bay was ever good...hah. I agree with your other two, though.

Pretty cool, even if the end result should look more like this instead.
