Are these somehow weighted in the body? I have a feeling you're more likely to have a snowman laying face down in your cocoa like a low level mobster that's just been whacked and dumped in the East River.

I think it's a mistake to price this phone at $100. To us, and others that follow tech blogs and know about these things, it's a great deal. To the 99% of the rest of the world, it looks like a budget phone.

Sam, is there something we should know?

If he got Bill Murray to play Darth Vader, I'd be all over that.

"One could argue" pretty much anything, but that doesn't make them correct.

And the Playbook will sell probably 1,000 units this season, while the iPad mini will sell 20 million.

I don't think the line refers to price comparison; it's a line that actually works best if the first part refers to price comparison and the second to quality.

Ryanair, which is an airline who absolutely loves to stir up publicity by way of controversy,

Gah! I sincerely hope Priceline doesn't choose to just "absorb" Kayak. Kayak is my go-to service for aggregating the best deals. I use Priceline once in a while since Kayak has never been allowed to integrate them, but I will be pissed off if Priceline just decides to integrate Kayak's data into their own site and…

I use it for my company, in that every time we post a blogger blog post it asks "post to google+?" and I click "yes". But the last time I checked our G+ account, all those supposed blog posts actually showed up as photos(?) in our feed. My reaction was to shrug.

This isn't a post about Microsoft. Google doesn't have a desktop OS. Chrome OS doesn't count.

What's your point? It would have been buried in Hurricane Sandy news, and whatever political effect it may have had would probably have favored Obama. He destroyed Romney in the foreign policy debate and has always gotten higher marks than Romney on foreign policy in polls.

You start by saying it was bound to happen, then finish by saying you don't believe it. Well, which is it?

I can read. This is what he said: "it would help if the Obama retards did anything that contributed to society"

There were actually two wars - the bigger of which was wholly unnecessary, the other of which Obama had to finish because Bush and Rumsfeld screwed it up at Tora Bora. It should have lasted about six months.

New York and its goddamn puritanical liquor laws...

I own and run a successful business. I voted for Obama twice. Am I one of your "freeloaders"?

The last balanced budget came under a Democrat (Bill Clinton), who had to drag the Republicans kicking and screaming into it. That budget was then busted by a Republican (George W. Bush), whose military spending created massive deficits, and whose economic policies set us back 20 years and created the recession that…

I doubt most of the people saying she's "not drunk" have much experience with alcohol themselves. This is the way an experienced drinker acts when they've had one too many. You don't slur your words. You don't lose your vocabulary. You don't fall down. That's what high school kids having their first beer and…

I think she's just experienced. I drink pretty much every night and most of the time you'd never even know I'm drunk, except that I'm sure I do get a bit louder and exaggerated than normal. But people who are used to being drunk are perfectly capable of using a regular vocabulary and not slurring words.
