Two separate things, hopefully I can explain a bit:

I am outfitting my house in bright white LED bulbs and loving it. I wandered in to see the Edison bulbs (didn’t know you could do them in LED), but they wouldn’t work for my style choices.

Your comment started strong with a statement against distracted driving then veered off into phone territory.

There was an IBM e-business commercial about shopping with RFID that jumped into my head as soon as I saw the article. Here’s a link:

For everyone who is saying tape, tape, tape:

I didn’t know about the shared branch thing until this article. Thanks!

I’m the weirdo programmer who likes a lot of light in their workspace. Figure out how to locate yourself to minimize glare if you need to but the ceiling lights are on.

I’d think the inside man at the bank installs the device as part of “ATM maintenance”, then leaves. If the IT guy inside the ATM ran off with a bundle of cash he would not get far.

A Ferrari-certified mechanic would take one look at that and immediately sing “Vesti La Giubba” while touching the fender tenderly and crying.

Colonel Kurtz agrees:

I’m a bit older, when I got to the “machine head” portion of the video my brain went directly to “Impossible Mission”. The link should put you at the 30 second mark where you hear electro shocks and the all-too-familiar you’ve been killed by the electro shock:

Growing up where I did, an hour was not a long time to get somewhere. My commute to high school was 90 minutes each way (by bus), and when I was working in lower Manhattan my commute was an hour each way. There was a joke that NYers are some of the most well-read Americans, since they sit on the subway/bus for hours…

To be fair, I did watch all of it, but the pilot almost lost me. Turturro and Detective Box made it interesting, then I got curious about Michael K. Willliams (I’ll always call him Omar, his role from The Wire, but for respect I looked up his actual name lol), and how all of these characters do their jobs, run their…

I was on the edge of my seat to get up and leave and stop watching during the pilot. Everything the kid did was so stupid and backwards I just couldn’t take it.

+1, the world’s your oyster.

Came for “why’d you turn”, left disappointed.

I thought it was a spiteful customer who made tractors and tried to tell Ferrari how to fix his clutch problems, then Ferrari invited him to talk to the hand, since the face doesn’t listen to tractor-makers.

America.

I think the 3-fingers-up gesture which shows you the desktops has the correct labels under them.

The first visit with Dr. Seward was great, when she was all “I already know what’s wrong with you” and laid down Vanessa’s whole story.
