Well, for the initial withdrawal at least, he didn't "decide" to take the money. He accidentally asked for too much, and BoA, via faulty algorithms or some sort of glitch, "decided" to give the man what he asked for.

Yep, and then there's also the hack-handed portrayal of men as either dull, stupid, clumsy, crude or jock-like stereotypes. Because the only way to convey a woman as strong and competent is by surrounding her with total idiots & incompetents.

I had pretty much the exact experience, also opting for the G700 afterwards.

It looks a lot like the Razr Naga, ([store.razerzone.com]) albeit with better ergonomics for determining which button you're hitting by feel... I tried the naga and did not like that it was often difficult the determine which button I was hitting. I've since opted for logitech's G700 and be much more satisfied.

As someone who enjoys their data-column headers in a left-aligned position, I'm now going to begin petitioning Apple to re-change it back again. Let the alignment wars begin!

Yeah, I can imagine the original pitch meeting went something like this:

**Spoiler Alert!**

Having also seen the preview, I can say Movie Message Received: Women seeking to break down the gender barriers are supposed to act like men who just happen to have lady parts. Wait to push the envelop.

Someone sneaking in to an event to capture it on video would seem to be a prime suspect for having caused the malfunction that they just happened to film.

You actually save even more: The AT&T, Verizon, etc costs listed here don't include taxes & fees, while Virgin Mobile's price does: Last I had an iPhone under AT&T in NJ (fees vary by state) it ran me about an extra $12 a month just for taxes & fees, or nearly another $300 for the life of a 2Yr plan.

$300K may be the marginal cost that Google has incurred above and beyond their normal cost of having a legal team, a cost that, albeit much higher, they incur with or without any particular legal action in progress.

So... they save money on fuel but still pass an added fee on to passengers for the iPad?

To all those commenting on "how crazy" I am to characterize MacBook HD swaps as potentially difficult: apparently the later '08 Macbooks were much easier than the early '08 version. I'm guessing the one I had to do this with was an early '08 version. It was a pain, much more difficult than any non-Apple laptop HD

MacBook HDs are not easy to access. It takes roughly 1/2 hour of careful unscrewing and some disconnecting of very delicate ribbon cables, even with a video tutorial. It's a tedious and laborious process, and since the author didn't know it was the HD prior to having Apple diagnose it as such, I don't blame him for

I've been a Giz reader since shortly after its launch almost a decade ago. It's never just been a site where the newest gadgets are showcased. Coverage of tech & internet culture has always been a part of it.

When I was a young kid in grammar school, I used to do this when I was bored. Now, finally, I understand why it works. Thanks Giz!
