"Which one of you is the U-boat Commander?"

Because tall buildings starve people? Or is it because no one should have anything more that the people around them (insert class warfare imagery here)? The building, and the prosperity it represents, helps to feed more people than all of the emo bullshit you and your Sarah MacLachlan-listening friends could ever…

I see the usefulness in them, sure, but they still seem outdated. Updated version? Electric mower...or better yet, those Roomba mowers. They seem like tech-mower-heaven.

Good choice to skip it on my part.

I originally read your comment as chubby.com, which is probably NSFW. And, no, I'm not going to check to see.

Another suggestion...not exactly a tech gadget, but they still sell reel mowers, which amazes me. They just seem archaic.

Exactly! The technology in them is roughly as old as me (I'm 46), and they still cost as much as a Kindle. I don't get it.

I don't disagree about their usefulness, not at all. My question is simply WHY ARE THEY STILL $100?! The technology in these things can't still be cutting edge.

Damn right! Why in the hell are these things so damn expensive?! My two older kids needed them for school and it's NUTS that they still cost nearly $100!

Trash the "black brick of a beeper" all you want, but despite the fact that everyone in our practice has a smartphone, we also have pagers since: a) it makes it simple for the answering service to reach the call person quickly, and more importantly, b) it works even in areas of the hospitals that absolutely don't get…

Very nice camera…and it has an inexpensive underwater housing available ($70 or so) that worked flawlessly on our recent trip to Cozumel.

The person who first noticed this "UFO" was an engineer...what they really needed examining the footage was an entomologist. Mystery solved.

Damn right. Not exactly the same, but this remind me of how Ross Perot handled the kidnapping of some of his personnel by Iran as documented in the book, "On Wings of Eagles". Filthy-rich Perot, like filthy-rich Cameron, didn't have to go, but he did it all the same, and that makes them both pretty ballsy SOBs. And…

Objects moving in a long exposure frequently aren't visible...think taillights from a car in a long night exposure. Red lights, no car.

Abe Froman, the Sausage King of Chicago?

I agree with you. The sides scream Fisker. I really don't see the Aston Martin One-77 at all, except that the One-77 picture we always see is silver. Long nose suggests the FF and the shrink-wrap body, overall, looks like the Italia. And, yes, it's hot. And it'll look even better in the appropriate color, which…

Hot chick/firefighter in passenger seat of SRT Viper? Yeah, I'd imagine you could pull that off, even if you looked like Ron Perlman.

Wow! I had never noticed that before, but now it's clear as a bell…and funny…or daffy, as you put it. Thanks.

When I saw the first pics of the FF, I was like, Wha?? Then I was like, Well... Now, when I look at it, I'm like, Wow. It has grown on me like no other car I can think of.

The developer's cash flow strategy was really quite simple: Gotta Catch 'Em All!
