I tell this story every opportunity I get. I am from Wisconsin, and took a job down in STL. The people there found out I was from Wisconsin, and said “Oh, you’ve GOT to try St. Louis style pizza! You’ll love it! It’s so much better than anything you get back home!” The pizza arrived, and calling it cheese and crackers…

The same Dana Andrew’s that said prunes gave him the run(e)s?

The “Welcome to Cleveland” roof in Milwaukee has been around since 1978, not “the early 2000s.”

Hmm. $84.31 billion makes it Apple’s second best quarter ever. And this is what Gizmodo is calling “dire results”? Hyperbole, much?

Apple’s Q1 runs October-December. Fiscal years do not necessarily align with calendar years.

The first thing I thought: it’s a Chumby redux. Obviously, Chumby was way ahead of its time, and didn’t offer the digital assistant functionality, but the principle is the same as this device.

I’m from Milwaukee, and that’s the term they use in most cities around here to refer to members of the Common Council. Until now, I wasn’t aware that “alderman” may not be a commonly used terminology.

If we can have state lotteries that can give away north of $1 billion US, we should be able to give away far more than $1 million for something like this.

I believe it was just a lead in to the Doctor’s realization that she was on a hospital ship in space, not an actual hospital on the planet where they first were.

US here, and I don’t agree with a single thing you said. To be honest: what you’ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber…

Perhaps, but one could argue if they were fighting the same battle years later, that rebound was too short-lived.

For some reason, the soundtrack makes me think “Torchwood,” not “Doctor Who.” Except, more like if someone were asked to listen to the Torchwood soundtrack, and make something that sounds sort of like it.

A slight correction: You state that “the company developed now iconic brands like Kenmore, Craftsman, DieHard, and Lands’ End.”

I’m surprised. I thought that most considered Chrysler’s UConnect system to be one of the best infotainment systems on the market (one of FCA’s few bright spots), and would have expected it to show up at least once on the list.

What you describe (“people in Alaska” getting “mandatory text alerts about hurricane evacuations in the southeast”) wouldn’t happen. WEA is capable of being activated regionally as well as nationally, just as the EAS (and predecessor EBS) could be. The only thing a national alert would be used for is for a disaster of…

Since apparently some people have not quite understood: this is essentially a wireless extension of the Emergency Alert System (EAS), which has existed since 1997, after taking over from the very similar Emergency Broadcast System (EBS). EBS started in 1963, taking over from the original CONELRAD system which…

Probably, but by the time they do so, the devices have either been sold on whole to an unsuspecting dupe, or been stripped down for parts.

Almost certainly, given that the “Kelvin” (not-Prime) universe is Paramount’s sandbox to play in, not CBS.

It makes more sense when you realize the universe split was done primarily for business reasons, not as much for storytelling reasons.

For some reason, the samples they included in that video actually remind me more of Cave Johnson from Portal 2.
