I think this headline needs a "For Now" appended to it. After we all switch over and sign 2 year contracts the caps will roll out.

The deal breaker here is really the lack of 4G. Not a huge deal right now, but like you said, we're stuck with it for two years if we commit to a new contract. Even if this was the exact same phone as the iPhone 4 but had that I'd buy it.

As a 31 year old male who grew up watching Star Wars more times than I can count I have to admit I didn't know Admiral Ackbar by name until the Robot Chicken made "it's a trap" a catchphrase just a few years ago.

Nope, look at the cold war. The Soviet Union went form ally to enemy but there was never a first strike. We could have attacked them as soon it as it became clear we were no longer on the same team but before they could be really ready to defend against us.

Haven't we always planned for invading any country even allies just in case? I'm sure we still plan for it today. What would happen if suddenly one of our allies turned on us and we had no plan for a pre-emptive strike? What if someone invades England and declares war on us from there? That wasn't a far fetched…

Especially since you now have a bleeding PR hemorrhoid out there making things worse for you. Even if you don't plan on using Twitter you still lock down the handle to prevent this situation. We know it's not an official account, but I'm sure some people won't realize that.

I suspect "Green" isn't the best marketing term for selling pools.

I would have solved it in 2 weeks if I wasn't lagging so bad...

Yeah I used to commute from a train station in a neighborhood that has the highest murder rate and gun violence in my city there were almost never any problems. Most gun violence like that is gang on gang stuff and they're not just going to shoot some random person who accidentally walks through a bad neighborhood for…

It was either Qwikster or clownfart.penis everything else was taken.

I'm pretty sure they're purposely trying to kill off their DVD business at this point. It's the only thing that makes sense about this. They've been pretty public about wanting to move away from DVD to full streaming. My theory is that the price hike 2 months ago was supposed to get people to cancel DVDs and go…

Sweet Bioshock is coming for the iPad?

I think at this point just about everyone I know has a phone at least capable of getting email, from my mother to my one last non smartphone owning friend who finally got a droid last week. He also couldn't even receive SMS on his older phone..

Anything that requires your recipients to be signed up to the same service as you isn't an SMS replacement. The main advantage of SMS over any other form of messaging is exactly that, anyone with a phone from the last 10 years can receive them. I can't exactly ask a girl I met in the bar to sign up for GroupMe so I…

The baby in the guitar case is clearly intended to be used on the next "Better than Ezra" album cover.

On a whim I typed in [www.isstevejobsdead.com] figuring by now someone must have built one these meme sites. Turns out I was right. According to that the answer is no.

I always say never keep more stuff in the office than you can carry out with your two bare hands. People laugh that I have practically nothing on my desk or on my walls. But trust me, having witnessed enough mass layoffs throughout my career, nothing is more humiliating than having to come back to the office a few…

Stand near the fat guy, they'll always suspect him first.

I'm pretty sure by time I got to number 50 or so I'd be adding "cant finish bottle of scotch by self....stupid list is stupid, whar are you looking" *punches mirror
