@JohnnyLongarms: If I pointed out that I own a Nook Color happily running CM7 and hate Apple products, would it change the way you read my comment?

I think you're confusing PTSD, which is under-diagnosed, with ADHD, which is over-dianosed.

Who the hell has three secretaries just in charge of writing dates on things?

And much like every other apple patent, something that Windows 95 could a full decade earlier if it happened to have a touch screen, IE, like they had in kiosks back in the day...

Wait, so you're saying a device whose primary job is to show you stuff to read is easily readable? Holy Shit, Batman! Let's get some CM7 up in the Batcave!

Yeah, all of those are true. I hate Apple too.

Your iPad2 must be a peice of shit ;-)

It doesn't make me do anything...

Your iPad must be a peice of shit...

Eh, considering it's a reusable component that replaces a disposable component, you'd be no more a snob for buying this than you would going for eyeglasses over contacts...

Did you ever get to meet Rob Thomas as he came in to hang out with his girlfriend?

They aren't.

And my experience with your mom...

Hadn't been tested yet, wasn't finished... didn't have engines...

I'm not entirely sure that my previously quoted figure of 99 percent is accurate, but for just under $2 million, I could verify it for you...

Seriously though, I don't see what the big deal is... you could give me any three academic projects at random and I could give you reasons why they're useful or reasons why they're a waste of money. 99% of research is a waste of money.

Only if it fired cheaper missiles...

Yeah, as a matter of fact we did...

I mean, I wash everything just like Steve Carrel's first date from 40 year old virgin... isn't that how you're supposed to do it?

I'm still relatively sure I spend more time total cleaning the crap out of the brushes of my Roomba than I would just using an actual vacuum...
