Interesting, but why is it that every "best photos of the year" list is 90% gore, bloodshed, war, famine, and so on. Sure, those photos have value and are important, but there is plenty of beauty, awe, love and wonder captured on "film" every year. Maybe I'm just too much of an optimist, maybe I'm too sheltered. …

He may be an artist but that doesn't mean everything he does is art. What's next? Are we going to be framing this guy's bowel movements for permanent installation at MOMA?

Who ever said this was art?

You know, I bought an iPad 3 last spring, and I'm very happy with it. However, Apple is starting to piss me off. The year and a half between the iPhone 4 and 4S releases was a respectable amount of time between phones. It gave people enough time to enjoy the 4, ride out their contract with their carrier, and then…

You never studied.

The Kindle Fire (amongst others) have shown that there is a market for lower-priced, smaller screen tablets. I know from experience that after holding up an iPad for an extended amount of time (like when you're reading a book), it tends to get heavy.

Grandma's not likely to drop her couch on the sidewalk and shatter it. Big difference.

Here's what I don't understand, Jesus. Why do you care if we put cases on our phones? I mean, it's one thing to dislike iPhone cases. It's another thing altogether to write a whole op-ed about it.

But you'll have your Google maps back on your home screen. Then you just have to sit back and wait for Google to give us a new maps…

"Don't constantly whip it out in public." Good life lesson.

I was just saying to a coworker that "Yes, the iPhone 5 is here, and for the first time since the launch of the first iPhone, I don't care." iPad Mini is the only thing that Apple (in theory) has coming up that is remotely interesting. The problem is that the iPhone isn't missing anything anymore. Each new iPhone…

Why no helmets Jerry? Because our heads aren't made of glass. Geez, spoken like someone rich enough to buy a new iPhone at the drop of a hat.

Focusin? Isn't that what Bart Simpson had to take for ADHD?

Hell, Frank Lloyd Wright designed a mile-high building ("The Illinois") back in 1956.

I used to do that with cigarettes as well. The smoke was good for keeping the bugs away, and when they did get you, you could use the heat of the cigarette like you said. There was just the downside of the potential for a horrible, painful, slow death from lung cancer. It was probably the only plus side for…
