Tragic Apostrophe

Extra exterior supports were not added, it's just the ugly design of the building as you can see in this photo that includes it's twin building next to it.

My TiVo died this weekend so I managed to watch some Esquire while I wait for the new one to load plenty of filler so I am not forced into watching live TV again and I took note of the schedule, Top Chef, Sex & The City and Clean House. Um, does anyone else think that is kind of gay? I mean as a gay man I love it but…

It's worth noting that lots and lots of parking garages and gated neighborhoods use these too. At my building parking garage the tag gets read and the gate opens before you reach it.

One thing that I have found Keurig surprisingly useful for is instant oatmeal. One and a half packets instant oatmeal and the small cup setting and you have a yummy warm breakfast in a few minutes.

I think people are being way too optimistic about this. Nokia bet the farm on Windows Phone with what was understood at the time to be the absolute financial baking of Microsoft. This isn't Microsoft doubling down, this is Microsoft giving up and tying up the financial loose ends of a multi-billion dollar contract…

Yeah, I'm totally going to buy it. And I'm going to be really bitter about it but I'm only going to do it because I've been waiting for it since I bought my Premiere to replace my TWC box and realized that paying for a backup bedroom POS shit TWC DVR was worse than no cable in the bedroom and why the fuck did I just…

I don't think the argument that the iOS and Android YouTube apps don't use HTML5 holds water because YouTube has complete control over the apps including and most importantly how they serve ads. On other platforms where they have less control such as TiVo, Playstation and Roku they have demanded HTML5 apps which is…

It looks like haphazard support structure but if you look at the photo of the nearly identical building next door it is really just an ugly element of the existing building. The whole thing is obviously not stone but a lightweight fake cover on what is a really oddly designed penthouse and roof top that makes the fake…

Actually TWC has deployed DOCSIS 3.0 in a lot of markets, if you have 30 Mbps or higher tier service you need a DOCSIS 3.0 modem and I believe only certain DOCSIS 3.0 modems support the 75Mpbs or higher tiers.

I live in one of the affected markets so I decide to check and it was blank as I was reading this article but it suddenly came to life.

A major concern that I have is that this will be used to arrest people with unpaid tickets for mistermeaners at much larger rates serving as revenue collection for the cities, wasting police resources and furthering the cycle of poverty in this country. If it is for serious crimes sure but if it is a tool to arrest…

I can't believe you left out the pool at the Joule Hotel in Dallas which is cantilevered off the side of the building 10 stories up with a glass side.

Ford sold Jaguar a few years ago.

So it basically does what TiVo does search wise?

Can we all just agree that OnSwipe is the biggest piece of shit on the Internet?

For anyone that thinks this sound is awful which it is I recommend trying the version from Nine Inch Nails Still which is stripped down from all the stuff that make the original terrible into something fairly simple and hauntingly great.

The specs seem to leave out how much crack it comes with, I feel like this would be a key factor in the purchasing decision.

How is that nice for streaming? That exceeds almost every high speed Internet connection in the US, very few of us (myself included) have connections that could stream 2.5MB/s videos without mentioning the fact that it would murder anything but an insane backend if it gained anything close to wide acceptance.

Uh, Time Warner has deployed DOCSIS 3.0, I have it, I'd be on the safe side.
