The Chinese like it because they are the heroes of the movie.

Okay, got a question: Anyone know how I can setup Google Reader so I do not get these posts every month (like us on facebook, +1 on google, follow on twitter)? I already get my gawker sites from reader.

Yeah, I live in China, and it is definitely not that easy haggling over street merchandise, especially in the bigger cities.

Albert Einstein - "Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid."

AEDs will not fire unless the victim's heart has stopped. Hospital defibs are different because doctors have the training.

While the Chocolate could never compare to a smart phone, the V2 Chocolate I owned was the best dumb phone I ever had.

The Gawker community has been going nuts with the hiring lately. I would love a position like this (I studied professional writing) but I'm currently teaching English in China, so the time difference plus extra work isn't good for my life right now :(

I don't personally like the skin, but I don't get the reason for pealing it. Slice it in half and eat with a spoon, you've got a natural cup to hold all that deliciousness.

Looks like a Goa'uld to me. (I'm getting a steal reinforced turtle-neck now...)

My biggest problem with sending food back is that I don't want to wait for it to come back when everyone else already has their food. Not only do they feel bad for eating while I wait, which of course they must so their food doesn't get cold/warm, but I also feel bad making them wait while I finish my dish once it has…

Also, I have accidentally washed standard SD cards before. They still work, presumably because there is no power source.

God, I'm living in China right now, enjoying my break from Fox News... Almost forgot how much I hate it.

Or a man-bear-pig... half man, half bear, and half pig. Al Gore warned us...

I hear 'several' billion, not seven, but it's hard to make out.

Maybe I miss understand the concept of the Singularity, but I never imagined it would be a perfect world. In fact, I believe it to be a very chaotic time. My understanding of the Singularity is that it is the point where biology and technology become inexorably linked.

Jet Force Gemini? The plot and sound effects are uncannily similar.

I would like to set up my webcam as a security camera, but I have a few specific features that I would like to see:

Apple dictates the direction of technology. Not a prospect I'm fond of, but I do recognize the trend.

I'm planning on teaching English abroad after I graduate (May), so I think that it would be cool to be able to take stereoscopic landscape pictures. That being said, I refuse to wear glasses to look at a tablet.

IT'S A FAKE!!!
