In Marvel? Daigo doesn’t even play it.

Uber is very much a luxury service in China. All tiers of their service are far more expensive than a regular taxi. The service the article mentioned, Didi Da Che isn’t even something that Uber would even consider a competitor. It and the other local taxi app, Kuadi Da Che both connects riders to normal taxis. They…

I love it when college kids get their parents involved.

It’s the education system. 12+ years of pure memorization. It doesn’t change once they get to college either. (Of course, the poster below is correct about lax copyright enforcement contributing, but the lack of value placed on creative thinking in the education system is a bigger factor in my opinion. Most of the…

Maybe it was Nick Van Exel. I could definitely see him doing it.

I appreciate that they exist. Otherwise who would buy my cards for $.06?

I find all the meta things that Steam has added to be completely pointless (well, I’ll sell cards once a year to collect the $5 or so I have coming, so it’s not all bad), but at least they’re easily ignored.

That would certainly be my recommendation. I really think that anyone who is using a computer only for basic internet tasks should get one. A MacBook is just totally overkill for that, which is fine if you have more money than you know what to do with. The Surface 3 with keyboard might not be a bad way to go either,…

Even for just basic web browsing, I’d vastly prefer having a keyboard. Emailing and messaging with a tablet is still no fun.

My favorite was the part where they changed Passbook to Wallet.

I’m not willing to engage in Japan’s creepy schoolgirl fetish for an RPG, so I’ll pass on that one.

Completely! The Sons of the Harpy were clearly still there in decent numbers while she flew away. Why would they not capture or kill the remaining members of her party?

Wirt! He’s the hero we need right now.

Gin’s great and Campari is gross. I’m just going to stick with drinking gin straight from the bottle.

I wish they’d do this in Shanghai. This year, all the young men are wearing grey sweatpants everywhere, like to the office. I’d be curious to know if Chinese women find this as distasteful as I do.

This didn’t come off as desperate or pathetic at all.

I haven’t seen Microsoft address that directly. It would be pretty crazy if they downgraded you, though. I have a Surface Pro 3, so it has Pro on it. If they downgrade it, I’d be stunned. People who assemble their own machines and put Pro on it generally have a good reason for doing so, and taking it away from them…

I’ve been here for about nine years, and for a while, it was actually getting better. Now it’s been getting worse again for a few years. They made an effort to make the city bright and shiny for the 2010 Expo, then went right back to normal. I live on the 31st floor, so really, I already have a pretty decently high…

In Shanghai, I’m not at all concerned about the construction quality of skyscrapers (other buildings, not so much), but good luck finding a day where the sky is clear enough to see all that far.

Also, it’s doing a better job of not completely sucking, which is exactly what the last two books have done. The show has its issues, but at least it doesn’t spin its wheels endlessly.
