I'm gonna gues she's referring to how dirty HMDs often are- especially on a showroom floor. As someone who was REALLY into VR in the 90s, I can attest these headsets get pretty grimy from everyone's hands and hair and eyelashes and forehead oil; even if you wipe it down after each use, it's kind of gross.

Not getting why everyone thinks she's just trying to sound smart. Have you ever considered that maybe... she's smart?

Regardless, chances are, at her age, she's learning about communism in school (or as part of her traveling for tours) and has had the same thought on the brain many young people have when they learn…

Yep. A Siamese who likes to bite and scratch... er... 'lovingly' when playing.

You know the percentage of the population in the US that has been bitten and scratched to hell by cats? 40%, every fricken day. ;-)

You are doing it wrong. Cats need the litter box cleaned at least once a day. Any vet or cat expert can tell you that. They don't need "walks" but they do need plenty of exercise such as 30 minutes or so of dedicated play time.

Location makes as much a difference as materials, size, etc. In Knoxville, TN the median home sale price is $140,000 which gets you a 1,750 square foot home. Where I live the average sale price is $434,000 which gets you 900 square feet. I asked a remodeling company what it would be to redo our existing and EXTREMELY…

I concur. I have one of those in my American house, and now having become acclimated to it, I absolutely hate even really nice hotel bathrooms. WHERE'S MY F#%$ING SPRITZER?!

I've also done a lot of traveling in Europe in the past decade and stayed in some high end hotels in France and Germany that didn't have shower curtains. Usually instead they had a half or 1/3 glass "wall". Still, water goes EVERYWHERE.

I feel like a lot of people have a wedding because 'it's the thing you do'; the same reason a lot of people go to college and have kids when it's not necessarily what they want or need.

In Massachusetts, people in Massachusetts are allowed to drive.

Hey StalePhish- as a friend I know for a fact you've stayed at hotels that have bedbugs, because Disney (your annual stomping grounds) has a bedbug treatment facility. When a room gets reported as having the bugs they seal the room to begin treatment and take everything out, including the visitors' luggage. It all…

I did this and I pay about $7.50/year per domain. So it's $15/year. Small price to pay for personal branding.

My advice is to make sure you have an out. Let me explain- I had interviewed a guy who checked out great. I called his references. He seemed friendly and grounded and had a stable job. He was older but had gotten divorced (daughter lived w/ the ex) and just needed to start rebuilding...

Sadly, in many dense urban cities, 90 minutes one way is normal for many, and 3 hours one way is the outlier. I find if I leave the office at 3pm, my 35 mile commute is about 45 minutes. If I leave between 4 and 6pm, it'll be 70 - 90 minutes... add 30 minutes for rain; 30 more minutes if there's a sports game…

I use one of these subtle folding hooks on the wall- http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/…

It isn't silly at all. Even if you mess with the settings it's still not ideal. For starters, the lighting is way too bright and blue shifted compared to your living room. You can't really get an idea of actual black levels under real world conditions unless, like the author points out, the store offers a viewing room…

Did the exact same thing (probably 20 hours of review/forum/ezine reading) and ended up with a Panasonic VIERA TC-P55ST50. Lot of time to find the right set within my budget but it was worth it. Ended up getting it on Amazon for a third of the price of my last 1080p set (a Sony XBR model) and 6 months later now it…

The best TV I've owned was one I bought unseen. I'd always look to reviews and keep them in mind at the local big box store. This time though, I went strictly with reviews (forums, amazon, and ezines), found the best one for my budget, then shopped around for the best price. It was Amazon. Arrived 2 days later. Have…

I'm using ios7 right now. The interface still needs a lot of refinement, but I like it a lot already. The flat design trend is really a reaction to nearly a decade of web 2.0 style interfaces (gradients/depth, shadows, and gloss) that now feel firmly dated with the oughts. It's flat now, yes, but very different from…
