@Ugly Joe: Haha :) I remember that one!

@pjcard: Get yourself VS2010 - you'll be able to detach source files into separate windows and use all monitors available.

@rimplestultskin: Got it. Interesting that Rolex in reality is better than Breitling. I suspected them to be of roughly the same quality.

@Zinger314: You are an ass. See how this works?

"and everybody's talking".. Huh? Only you and some Apple fanboys are talking about this crap...

@scarbrtj: Hahaha! Yes, IMAX needs to re-release they tech with new name for X-rated movies! :)

@aec007: We are too busy fighting with each other, killing each other and hating each other. As much as I always loved and dreamed about space travel, future of humanity along the stars looks very dim to me now, when I see the world in it's real colors.

@rimplestultskin: Good post, man. I agree with most points you are making, even though for me minimalism of some Patek Fillipe, Glashutte, IWC and some other brands is something I admire. I think it's an art to make something beautiful and not overdo it, like Breitling does or quite a lot of other manufacturers.

@lostarchitect: I know what they are for and I understand them. I just barely see any value in them and while I think there is some merit in having them for specialty watches I personally prefer subtle, less flashy, with a single or dual dials at most. But then again - it's my opinion on style and yours could be

@lostarchitect: If you continue on reading you will see notes about cheaper models using off the shelf movements. And for these brands 3K is cheap.

@baneyu: I'm not going to get into debate about Communism and USSR, as I find it quite funny to discuss these with people who grew up in the west and know about both Communism and USSR only from western governments propaganda.

@lostarchitect: What looks 'cheap' is purely ones opinion. Rolex, in my opinion is a very cheap looking item - bling-bling and nothing else. Men watch should not be flashy and sparkly, it should be subtle, stylish, masculine and tough. Anything with diamonds, with bunch of dials that are of no use is just that -

@lostarchitect: I was reading about that in a watch magazine (cannot remember the title now). Also, a friend of mine is a watch enthusiast and he has Omegas and Breitling, and he also knows watches and takes them apart and fixes them. Movement in his Omega that cost him over 4k is exactly the same as movement in $300

@OscarNJ: Do you give passwords to your accounts to all these places?

@cruzer555: Hrmm.. What about one of the latest incidents with a guy from Gizmodo being sued for getting iPhone4? That's just one example.

@baneyu: So, George Orwell does not earn that title?

@lostarchitect: 3K and good? No. Sorry, but no. Maybe 15K and over - they get somewhat decent on quality and style. Things for 5K even look cheap. Real Swiss watches like Patek Fillippe are so out of even 15K budget, it's not funny.
