That’s a more honest and informative response than calling the iPhone stupid. I’ll just note, though, if you want to be different and not having something that “everyone and their dog” has, Android isn’t going to help you accomplish that.

Having seen the paved waterway in the movies mentioned in this article, I had long assumed “Los Angeles River” was a humor nickname given by the locals to what I figured to be a spillway for rainwater. It wasn’t until just a few months ago, hearing or reading about this project, that I learned that there actually is a…

I’ll eat my hat if Apple ever launches such a service. No, I’m going to confidently make this prediction: This will never happen. This is just one of many patents that Apple, like so many other companies, will never put into practice.

And let’s be honest, the student who created it probably knows this as well. It’s silly that we—yes, me included—are commenting on this to the extent we are.

I don't have a problem with him having an opinion. I do have a problem with him thinking whatever opinion he has must be mandated on everyone else.

First, there’s not a chance this would ever happen, so it’s nothing to worry about.

Really? That’s amazing that anti-gun laws ever get passed then.

You must be right. I learned from Gizmodo comments that the only reason anyone could oppose anything is because they’re paid shill.

The NRA isn’t the legislature, so even if it were true that 3D printed guns were illegal, what has that got to do with the NRA? Plenty of legislation gets passed that the NRA opposes.

It’s not lack of a blow dart gun that’s keeping me from shooting people with poison darts. And for the tiny minority of people who would cause harm to others, it’s not lack of a blow dart gun that keeps them from doing harm.

Not everything. But somethings are. This looks to be one of them to me.

I think pouncing is an offensive maneuver, actually. At least in the cat world.

A male receptionist? Oh, that doesn’t sound PC at all.

Provided the government gets it right, and people respond on the right way. The government for decades promoted high carbohydrate, low fat diets and used nutrition labels to steer people in these directions. So people are less fat and more sugar and other carbohydrates

The outfits look like uniforms from some hotel.

If they screw it up badly enough, even Harold Ramis will come back.

I expected to see people blindly support this without any consideration of the complications, additional costs, effects on competition and chefs’, cooks’, and customers’ ability to customize their menus and orders.

The purpose of the regulation is to influence what people eat, so they eat lower calorie foods. It’s not just to give them information for information’s sake. I think shaming is a I appropriate word choice here.

I’m still skeptical that there is a housekeeper anywhere who commutes anywhere close to 200 miles. And if it is, it is only because the pay is at least good enough to cover the time and expense of such a commute, or the worker would stay home, even if that means earning no income (and I find it hard to believe that…

Why would the maid choose to drive 200 miles instead of taking a job closer to home? The employer will either have to compensate for the additional commute time and expense (or, more likely, the increased housing cost say, 20 or 30 miles away instead of 200 miles), provide housing, or—the horror—go without a maid.
