Come on. I totally understand the "dark side" label on post like this, but your "ethical sound reasons" are just bullshit-"the lines might be long for the ticket machine"?

And, oddly enough, I heard a similar warning (to the Korean one) from my Japanese grandparents.

I agree as well-some of these need the dog catching the biscuit slow mo treatment.

I'm really starting to believe that, for now at least, there is no "tablet market" out there, just an iPad market. In other words, there really isn't any demand for that particular form factor in general-there is demand for iOS devices at a larger size than the iPhone/iPad.

How many kids did Martin have, anyways???

They are just as much to blame as…

So, the indoor fire instructions seem pretty straightforward-I think 99% of people who have a fireplace (without a gas line) understand the basic concepts as outlined in this article...the problem is, sometimes it doesn't seem to work. Wish the article had actually gone beyond the obvious, and given some useful…

I get it. But Apple isn't gone. It's still their hardware devices Facebook needs to spread this platform. Samsung isn't gone, they make hardware too, that runs HTML5. What is gone is the app platform, and the advertising money that goes into supporting it.
