This strikes me as redundant. What does it do that I can't accomplish using the dock?

Pretty much exactly what you said.

"Well I've never experienced/had a problem with X, therefore something is wrong with anyone who claims they have."

I put my bread in the fridge after the first week or so; it lasts a lot longer than if I just leave it on the counter. The texture is terrible out of the bag, but just fine after toasting.

Interesting perspective. My mother used to resist private labels sometimes, and my father would argue, "It's the same stuff! Do you think Kroger has their very own cereal factory?" Good point.

Just you wait. They're shoehorning four (!!) stores into DC—one of 'em practically downtown!

I'm not convinced that the Teet is that much more expensive. I love that you can buy one of a Buy One/Get One Free item and it'll ring up at half price.

I'll side with the others in that I've also had great experience with the cassette adapters — they're certainly more reliable and sound better than any FM transmitter I've come across. I recommend one from Sony.

Good call. The Expedit's center dividers aren't nearly as sturdy—it'd probably fall apart if you tried to sit on it.

Carrying a separate container for salad dressing in one's messenger bag is a pain in the ass.

I wonder if this is stated company policy or just bad training.

This is a very good point. Target emblazons theirs with "REDEEMABLE AT TARGET!" — which is true, it's absolutely redeemable at Target! ...and at WalMart, and Giant, and Kroger, and Walgreens and...

Funny you should mention the 19th century. I was just flipping through a collection of rare books when I came across this old-timey picture from a book published in that era.

I have a Citicard, and in my case I get far more bang for my buck purchasing gift cards. 10,000 points gets me a $50 statement credit vs a $100 gift card. I use them for Best Buy and Walmart gift cards, which tend to have the highest resale value on Cardpool. (I used Plastic Jungle for a while but their customer…

Any plans to compare Mac browsers?

A while back, I remember reading that Chrome is the only browser that sandboxes each individual tab. If that's still true then it probably has a lot to do with its memory usage, no?

Is Facebook a union-busting company that holds its employees to part-time schedules so they won't be eligible for health insurance? Or one that pays those employees so little that their wages end up being subsidized by taxpayers in the form of food stamps and Medicaid?
