@Sent from my toilet: *slightly increases speed of slow clap*

@pyq1: There's no stereotype for Asians being good at bear-wrestling in space, because there's absolutely no reason to think that. Stereotypes stem form truth, not crazy dreams involving unicorns and dandelions. That doesn't mean they are completely true, but it does mean that the general actions of the group were…

@RotenApple: Yes.

I love when patents are low on details so that the holder can sue people for anything!

@38thsignal: It's setting me up for disappointment right out of the gate.

That's an awful story title.

@Applerain: They're most certainly based on truth in some way or another.

@Whitson Gordon: In my area, I think AT&T offers up to 4mbps speeds. With Comcast, I get around 20mbps. Not sure about the price difference though, since I have the bundle :/

@aek8: I know. I meant that he brought up the point that most of this safety stuff everywhere is sometimes ridiculous and people did survive without it, but as we've accrued more and more of these inventions (among many other things), lifespans have been climbing.

@Sarcasm055: You do bring up a good point, but then again the average lifespan has been climbing higher and higher.

@tavojimenez: HP has been sued by their shareholders for failing to disclose information about the sexual harrasment incident, and then they fired their CEO who double their stock value, and lost him to a major competitor. Then their solution was to sue him. In addition to all of that, all of this is giving HP some…

Ever notice how we still call a judge "Your honor" and they act like kings in their courtroom? Yeah,…

@Samurai I-am-awry: Did you think they were digital?

@whatne1wuddo: ...That's exactly what I just said, but you're somehow interpreting what I said to be a view that companies should work for the consumer...

@whatne1wuddo: Amazon wants to suck you in to the Kindle ecosystem. They didn't make a kindle app for every platform because they felt like blowing some money on software development. Netflix is giving you a larger incentive to buy a subscription, and Google offers so many services (with ads all over the place),…

@VertigoVII: Because it would start at $12 million.

@nootron: The author did say it was the implementation of Bing and the lack of choice, not Bing itself.

@reapur: When is the last time any corporation did anything in the user's best interests?
