But was that kid just robbed of a life lesson: Get out of the way of shit barreling towards me?

Underground? In what way? I don't see traditional cigarettes "going underground" after the same treatment.

Roku's okay, but I hate the Netflix app. It doesn't support the multi-user functionality that other Netflix apps have. The result is that all the kiddie shows my son watches becomes part of my viewing history, and the recommendations reflect that. Sorry, but I'm not that interested in Jake and the Neverland Pirates,…

Sort of... Amazon is a direct competitor with iTunes and iBooks, not with AppleTV. It's a fine point, but that still doesn't mean they can't work together. Just look at the Kindle. It's a direct competitor with iBooks, but it doesn't stop Amazon from making a Kindle app for iOS. Same thing with the Amazon Prime…

Yeah, but if I'm going to need to have a secondary device to stream content, I might as well just get a Chromecast. It's a hell of a lot cheaper.

Where is this? The island of Sodor?

Yet another reason to NOT get an Apple TV. Seriously, when are they going to get their acts together and get Amazon Prime?

What's an "ass-robot"?

Well, there goes that plan. And I really liked the name Bernards. Shit.

40w glow? As in the luminosity of a 40w incandescent bulb? Watts are units of power, not brightness. That's the problem with these new high-efficiency bulbs- we've been measuring light by the amount of power we What we need in this country is a new unit of measurement which measures luminosity, but remains…

Wow! You're popular today!

There's an interesting TED Talk on this very subject.

Also, if you want a stereotypical character, look no further:

Yeah, are you joking? It's really hard to tell.

Okay, you obviously want to be the most hated contributor to io9 for your unwarranted assault on Snuffy. I get it. But what the hell did Beauregard ever do to you?

I love Wes Anderson films, but there was something about Moonrise Kingdom that didn't sit well with me. I think a lot of the characters reminded me of his other characters- it was like the secret love affair of Max Fisher and Margot Tennenbaum. Maybe I need to watch it again...

It's all Eris' fault. We were fine calling Pluto a planet until Eris wandered into our view. And they didn't even have the decency to name it Rupert.

Actually, other planets have satellites, only the Earth has a Moon.

Perhaps it's too early, or perhaps it's just because I haven't had my morning cup of caffeine, but I thought you could see the Earth rise on the Moon, albeit only on a small portion of the lunar surface and nothing as dramatic as the famous Apollo 8 photo. It will be interesting to see whether or not Charon librates…

Couldn't agree more about scuba. It's absolutely makes you feel like an astronaut or a character from Jules Verne or something like that. In a lot of ways you feel like an adventurer, probing hitherto unexplored realms- despite the fact that you just rode out to the dive site with a bunch of other tourists. It's…
