@seekingdaedalus: I'm not nearly as optimistic on the ownership aspect. As far as redundancy, I have a TimeMachine drive, but more than that, I also have a Drobo where I house and store all of my final PSDs, FLAs, AIs, AEPs and any Final Cut final edits. There's also a drive on it that I dedicate to backing up my WIP…

Just because it's faster doesn't inherently mean you'll be consuming more. For example, streaming a movie faster doesn't increase the file size of the movie that's being streamed. I guess you might be more inclined to look at more websites, but it takes a LOT of websites to completely max out your data consumption if…

@nbergseng: Well yeah! We can't go giving the "little sisters of the poor" any of our money! I think it's a big ass joke and the schools could easily make their money as long as they win. The bowls don't go anywhere (with 35 bowls, a playoff would make bowl season a hell of a lot more interesting) and with each round…

@Scuba Steve: local-ized mini bowls? You mean conference champions? Yeah, we already have those, and guess what? They aren't decided by rankings

@Canon7D-Fanboy: word!

@Justin: What's so damn hard about taking the conference champion, from EVERY conference? About the only place where rankings would aid would be with the non-conference teams, but I already think they should all play each other every season (and it would have the added bonus of settling that without rankings too). I…

@dtptampa: Last time I checked Oregon has only played 3 teams with winning records (Stanford, USC and Arizona). Personally, that stat alone makes me less impressed with the numbers they are putting up on the scoreboard. The Pac 10 this year isn't any tougher than the Mountain West or the WAC. And don't get me started…

Blah blah blah.... PLAYOFF!!!

@Icarus.: Only time will tell. There is a 1st for everything. Given what I do for a living I don't think I'll ever go 100% cloud. Intellectual property laws are extremely intricate and I want to know more about ownership of works before I'd ever store my work on a cloud server. My own web server is fine for certain…

@Icarus.: I get the comic, but I don't think he meant so much that he truly thinks Google is evil (though it can be debated) as much as running your entire everything through one company is a bit sketchy as a concept. Especially with the cloud, there's too much left up to chance and if, for some reason, something…

@gyeabourjr: Yeah I don't trust the cloud either. Also I think it opens up a whole can of worms as to who actually owns the content housed on those servers. As a designer, I'm not so sure I'd ever want to house my work on a cloud based server for that reason alone.

I'm curious how long it takes someone to get it to run on a smartphone or tablet. It sounds like something that would work well for those kinds of devices as well. If so, could we possibly have Chrome OS vs Android in the tablet market?

@DukeOfPwn: I agree. A bad presidence is being set here

Is it bad that I found great humor in that after a minute or so?

@Dr. Nemmo: You were surprised that the US has no chance in Afghanistan?? What part of the Soviet Union failing in Afghanistan didn't you ever hear about? Last Saturday marked a little heard about mile stone that the US has now officially been in Afghanistan longer than the Soviet Union was. We aren't doing any better…

Let me get this straight. It's bacteria and bacteria isn't necessarily human-friendly. This new bacteria consists of arsenic, which is deadly to humans. I'm personally scared to death of it. I, for one, say leave it be in the lake. This is the kind of shit that starts zombie apocalypses

@pretsal: Screw the extraterrestrials, the damn bacteria is laughing at us for finding this out so late.

@Pman17: Well, at one point in time scientists knew the world was flat too...

@Badlands99: I'm going to go ahead and say that there are a LOT of things that we have and deal with now that aren't drafted in the Constitution because they did not exist when the Constitution was drafted. That's why we have amendments. Given the amount of idiots roaming the earth, I'd be terrified if too many issues…

@FREEMAN_TSINQ: Yes you are wrong, commercials are louder than the program you're watching because the assumption is that it will catch your attention, one and two they know people tend to leave the room during commercials and with the louder volume, you can, in theory, still hear them.
