I would never wear sandals of any sort unless I’m at some sort of beach. Then again, I live someplace where it hovers between 95-100 for three solid months and refuse to wear shorts, so clearly comfort is not high on my list of concerns.

I’m feeling fairly confident that 7 & 8 users will literally be getting free Windows 10. I think the language in the upgrade reservation widget is pretty unambiguous (http://gizmodo.com/why-yes-that-c…). If they pulled a bait and switch on this one, I think the backlash against Microsoft would make the always on XBox…

Well, I don’t think that everything would have to be open sourced. Look at Google Android, for example. Yes, AOSP must remain completely open source, but Google has been just fine about pulling stuff out of the core and throwing things into Google Play Services. Yes, old versions of software still exist in AOSP, but…

Hey, Axetwin! Nope, there will be no yearly licensing fee. You have one year to migrate your Windows 7/8 installations over to 10. If you do so within that year, you’re paying nothing. If you wait, you’re going to have to pay retail (which is $109 for Home and $149 for Pro, I think).

His speech was completely unbelievable. I like you, Hannibaldirum!

Ugh, calling it “making love” just makes me want to drink more.

There is only one thing I hate about technology: just because it’s easy to always be connected does not mean that I should be expected to be connected all the time. Sometimes I just don’t feel like responding to every message, then the sender acts like I’ve taken away their first born.

You have a very strange understanding of what “Hollywood girls” look like.

From what I’ve read, it will only give you notifications for SMS and Hangouts, and you have to tap them to actually have them read to you. You should be pretty safe!

They’re really feeding him some tomato cans. However, were I a tomato can, I’m pretty sure I’d want nothing to do with Dong.

Donkey meat really isn’t half bad. It’s fairly common in Sichuan food.

That would make total sense. A bar might want to have one for novelty value, but the bartender and the rest of the service staff are an integral part of the experience. It could also be a boon for busy clubs. Sometimes it’s way too hard to get a drink and anything to speed it up would be welcome.

Totally. Exclusivity is about the worst thing that could happen to consumers. I also love Kanye and would be perfectly happy to buy his album on Amazon or Google Play (not so much iTunes, just because I have mild OCD about all my files being the same type and mildly dislike Apple). Regardless of what you think about…

I have to assume there are at least 100 fanatics with money who would want one. And hey, it does look pretty nice for something that no one actually needs, and you could open up the bidding to people worldwide. Attack on Titan is popular in a lot of places. I’m thinking 20% would be easily achievable, and I’d guess…

Totally! But I’d definitely have to as there’s no way I could afford the insurance, and the tax burden would be terrifying.

Well, if I were in Japan, I’d try to win one and flip it. With only twenty being made, I bet I could clear a decent profit.

They certainly read like filler. GRRM could learn a lot about how to do a long series from Steven Erikson.

Right! One more painful laser surgery and all your health woes have come to an end!

The highlighted section is alarming, but nowhere near as the alarming as the part that reads “coated in gorgeous eye candy,” which is a blatant lie wrapped in a horrible pun.

I’m a bit unclear about why this guy is more deserving of a liver donation than the other people on the waiting list.
