If you would have read more than the headline of the article neither of your comments would have been necessary.

Man, Corn Love should get a NSFW tag.

Well destroying property will put them right on their way towards a promotion.

Yeah but that's not how the new flop rule is supposed to work. It's a fine levied after the game, not a technical during the game.

Maybe try reading before you assume (from http://www.apple.com/imac/performance/)

Except that it is user-upgradable (see last paragraph at bottom) http://www.apple.com/imac/performance/

Still a better option than the Pats recovering it in the end zone for a touchdown

It doesn't have to be simultaneous. I'm guessing that if you want to reply with a "call you later" text, it would block the call, and then send the text.

You're right, I wasn't thinking of travel logs and I guess there are some other valid uses. I guess for someone who has the need to log info but doesn't need/want to learn how to use some other type of tracking system, FB might be a decent workaround. I don't know that there's a way to create totally private entries…

The government's agenda is trying to collect money from both sides. The FDA collects money to run anti-smoking programs while the USDA subsidizes tobacco farming.

It's like Lenin said... you look for the person who will benefit, and uh...
