"B - we don't want this to succeed and gain traction, do we?"

Not to knock the camera too much - I think it's pretty cute and serves some purpose - but I think it is $70-$100 too much. The design is nice, and sets it a price point or two higher than some of the knock-off brands, but the feature-set is too narrow and the end result isn't really unique to the camera itself…

So good. So bad!!!

Interesting excerpt from Adobes CS6 FAQ:

I ditched Comcast cable about three years ago. Until they offer a true a la carte subscription service, I won't go back. I still get all my local channels in gorgeous, completely uncompressed HD, and have it streamed into my lifetime subscription TiVo Series 3 for DVRing. Combinations of legal and illegal delivery…

I picked this 'bot up on the way home. But then I always have a problem turning down free things.

"No hard drives"

This makes me miss England. What indignity! What wrath! What manners!

Strongbow is my go to. Blackthorn a middling second. I really don't like most of the US stuff...Hornsby is like sour puke.

Which was earlier - mead or cider? I love me some cider...specially the "real" stuff.

A creative genius ≠ a genius. Don't get me wrong, I worship Steve, but my admiration stems more from his ability to shift the existing paradigm more than his creative abilities. That was why I wasn't drawing conclusions, but letting you do it yourself ;-)

That's why you should never buy the white dog....

1. This one seems pretty possible, and should take about two minutes to determine from the hair sample. And, yes.

Einstein had a glowing report card, but Steve Jobs had a 2.5 GPA. I won't draw any conclusions from this, but will let you all ponder what it means about those two, and possibly even greater thoughts...

The additional weight of this thing has to be fantastic. I know hippies who drive VWs aren't known for being speed demons, but I've got to imagine the hit on 0-60 times is pretty serious. That's to mention nothing about the performance drop in handling and ride quality unless they address this through upgraded…

And yet NASA continues to face budget cuts, already to the tune of $1.2b. Why we aren't finding a way to provide a balance which does not cut at, but rather nurtures, agencies like NASA, is beyond me.

Turkey bacon? Better than the vegetarian "bacon" options ;-)
