Android has definitely been aimed at the male market for a long time... although under Matias' direction and with the Holo/Card UI progression, that seems to be changing rapidly.

I've found (as I've gotten older) that money isn't as scary as it seems when you're starting out. Yes, it's crucial to have enough savings to cover emergency changes in your life, and to maintain an automated plan for covering things like insurance and stuff... but the investing and saving for retirement? I find it…

To be fair, her article added enormously more to the discussion than does your comment.

I'm with you. I'm not at all opposed to people driving where it's necessary... luckily I live in a warm climate, and my commute is only a couple of miles each way (although it was once longer). I just feel bad for those who wouldn't think twice about getting in the car when it's completely unneeded. Cheers!

Bike.

Disagree. There are legitimate reasons to encourage someone toward other securities— for instance, the comparative simplicity of no-load ETFs and the like— but "it's too difficult" is laughable. There is this thing called The Internet that provides you all the information the professionals have access to, and there is…

Agree. I uploaded my library to Play (or at least the stuff that Play didn't already have on tap) and subscribed to All Access when it was locked in at $7.99/month. The mobile interface is pretty great— it's like a tutorial in Android App Design Guidelines— and the desktop interface suits me fine. No complaints here.

I get the reasons why you'd find the plan appealing— after all, data usage given current technology is unlikely to go down any time soon— and I do understand that for some people, Verizon's network is the only one large enough to provide them reliable service.

I don't think I'd pay the unsubsidised price for Verizon phones just to keep unlimited data, particularly when they can still change the terms of your agreement to kill your plan and you'll be left with a phone that can't be used on any other network. They've left a poor loophole open for the time being (and one…

I buy the Nexus each time. So, yearly.

Ah, I see the point you're making now, my bad.

That's what I'm saying, friend. I'm saying it was more a function of time than vastly improved horsepower. Again, to wit: the difference between a 2003 last-gen title (PG2) and a 2005 current-gen title (PGR3) was large, but the difference between a 2005 last-gen title (Forza Motorsport) and a 2005 current-gen title…

PGR3 looked better than PGR2, but not by miles and miles. And most of that had to do with the time elapsed since PGR2 had released. Compared to more recent titles— like Forza 2 (released in 2005 where PGR2 was released in 2003)— PGR3 wasn't so mind-blowing.

Oh, GUN. Man that was one shitty port. But it was still so much fun! Can't really mourn the loss of Neversoft because oh man True Crime NY was a piece of flaming ass, but GUN was seriously underrated.

Your argument is short-sighted and ill considered. Graphics are not the be-all, end-all issue of the next (or any) generation. And storytelling, fuck yeah. But better graphics, like good storytelling, are just one important component of creating a compelling and yes, immersive experience. The same way sound mechanics…

Except that Android users don't have to type anything anymore. They added the feature back in as usual the day after the big upgrade.

I was on board until I saw the Nexus 4 in a drawer. DACHIS Y U NO ORB? Seriously, that thing is beautiful. Some devices— and their chargers— are made to be seen.

The rule should ALWAYS be, do not buy what you are considering and just buy a bike instead. Don't need an extension to tell you that.

Best way to say goodbye.

The game gets significantly better with friends. And fewer friends will be playing it by the time the GOTY arrives. Aaaaaand, it won't really be a much better deal than this. So buy it already! EXPLOOOOSIONS!
