Except I don't act proud of that fact, like it somehow makes me more normal than the person I'm talking to, or like it's simply because I've got too much of a life to understand it. And I don't simultaneously act like despite knowing nothing about it, I can tell the person who does know about it what's wrong and how…

I could have sworn you also had an article on the fact that Windows 8 wasn't, actually, bad for gamers at all. I don't see that in this list. Or was that Gizmodo?

Yep, for a child you pretty much have to make that decision, as you have to account for ruggedness, parental control options, and other factors that a parent needs to prioritize for someone they're in charge of keeping safe. At a certain age, though, their own preferences eventually need to be respected over those…

I'm shocked how far I had to scroll down in the comments to find someone who called him out on this. Thank you.

Oh, I'm certain you can. My point was merely that it's both a VERY awkward family moment to tell your mother/father/spouse that they picked out the wrong gift for you (somehow it gets progressively worse the more they spent on it), and since in many cases the sales are several weeks before Christmas (sometimes even…

And I'm pretty sure nobody could possibly have bought you a phone and line of service IN YOUR NAME without you filling out and signing paperwork, ensuring it was impossible for them to have bought you the wrong phone as a gift, making this NOT the scenario in question.

Or, you know, pick colors that go well together and make an effort to make it look good. Or, better yet, redesign the entire bill with color in mind and then you win.

Not really, no. Most carriers have changed that to 14 days now, and that depends on when it was purchased. Also you need to involve the purchaser in the exchange, which is always incredibly awkward.

And I would DEFINITELY turn that down. Two years with a Blackberry would be hell compared to getting an ACTUAL smartphone.

Absolutely. The guy asked for it by completely misunderstanding the situation. Tom was clever to see the direction MySpace was going and bail out. He didn't fail to keep it alive, he sold it before it imploded. The original tweeter was a dick and Tom called him out for it.

Wait, so you're telling me Apple is a retail store, like all the others? Shocking...

Where's the evidence that the actual Cosmo did this, as opposed to other members of Anonymous using his name in solidarity, or as a symbol?

It's weird, but the only people I see consistently hating QR codes are the editors of Gizmodo. I've never heard anyone else so much as utter an annoyed peep about them, much less rant about them in the way Gizmodo articles usually suggest everyone feels.

The church didn't "[have] the reno done," she did it herself without permission.

Yes, but it's not half as accurate as Waze, nor are its solutions as creative.

Was your lack of parentheticals on the Mac sentence an error, or were you attempting to make a subtle point with that?

The iPhone 5 is the first time I've seen my Apple-loving friends angry. They hate Apple Maps, a surprising number of them have stated they don't like their 5 at all and don't think it was worth the upgrade, and many are admitting problems with Apple they never did before.

Please cite your sources. This sounds like utter BS cherry-picked from poorly-managed research studies picked up and then propagated by religious institutions.

That sounds utterly absurd.

No. Not even remotely. People are dynamic and their turn-ons change dramatically with time and exposure to a variety of things. It's not impossible that one could condition themselves to a degree that certain things become far more likely to assist them in getting off, but that's hardly typical or normal. You're…
