Oh, the Apple ad is fairly gross, I will agree with you on that. I don't know, I guess I don't really see the problem with always being connected though. It IS rude to check Facebook, email, texts, etc. when out with friends - as rude as if you were to turn your back on someone in the middle of a conversation, or…

Kyle, I'm not entirely sure I understand your point. My issue is with Jim's assertion "What happened to playing outside, and interacting with people face to face? We've lost that." I just find that to be a false statement that sounds like something regurgitated from a news article written by a confused baby-boomer who…

I want to like this 10 times, maybe even create anonymous accounts just to like this. I'm sick of hearing about the decline of society because of these crazy gadgets. As if we're all going to suddenly start speaking l33t speak and eating Cheetos all day.

The two hours of droning meetings I just sat through beg to differ with the face to face time you seem to think that we've lost (God I wish we'd embrace videochat here). The lovely dinner party and board games with friends on Sunday night seem to contradict that statement too. Tablets, smartphones, etc. are just tools…

Get off my lawn kid! ;-)

Probably because they haven't yet announced their upgrade plan and this article is only comparing upgrade plans.

Too easily seen from Sarah Palin's backyard.

Hmmm.... Let me replace my initial snark with, well, at least Thom has encouraged us all to look into Spotify's artist payment structure. (And I can't stand Radiohead - there I got it out my system.)

I read "math" as "meth", and well, this article wasn't quite what I expected.

You know, I haven't had a cat in decades. Thanks for the head's up. I wouldn't dream of doing it though. It never felt like a decent thing to do, but my parents did when we were younger. Blech. Thanks. Yes, definitely, don't declaw your cats. But do get a scratching post because your furniture is taking a beating.…

I really dodged a bullet. My most embarrassing shit is pre-Facebook and Youtube by about 5 years!

Have you considered getting the cat de-clawed or some cat toys?

The teddy bear?

This is great, but I think I see this more as a Lifehacker story specifically written for Gallagher disciples.

That's a minifig of me. Shhh...

I do - Silly as it is, I'm ok with them blurring out latex vaginae (although initially I did think it was a mouth). I expect the same standard to be applied to dead guys.

Must be cached locally on your machine. That's the image that was posted originally. I bet if you closed out and re-opened you'd have the blurred out image. I'm running Win7 and Chrome at home and work and have blurred out images both places. Although, this is the first time seeing the original image on my much better…

(My editors, however, hate me.)

For some reason I expected a tie-in to Kyle Wagner's German tourist story.

I did too, I actually spit out some iced tea. My IT love me because I'm constantly getting compressed air to clean my keyboard.
