I wonder if studies are done on productivity for the days that google pulls this stuff, especially the pac man game. The hard part is knowing that it is coming I guess.

I put a tall round in my office to have "conversations" with people at. I also have an extra dock for my laptop so I can work standing. I found I don't use that as much as I should.

One of the first things after moving in with my wife that I noticed was that my collar stays were vanishing. She didn't know what they were, so when she did laundry she would throw them out. Yes, I do wash and press my own shirts because I'm too cheap to use a dry cleaner all the time. I might just buy a pair of these.

It's not what makes sense to the outsider, it's what makes sense to the investment firm in dollar signs once they get a chance to look at dell's books, if that's the type of firm that buys them up.

Theoretically it means nothing. companies can go public or private at any time and do so. It just takes time to get everything in order. Almost all companies are private to start, and go public at one point. If you are private, your owner can do what they want though. So the big question is, will the founders and…

No to the latest iOS, however you could always use the apps you always did use over wifi. For example, you could easily use an old iPhone as a pandora streamer hooked up to a stereo. Games apply as well. Also, as a remote for your airplay system or apple tv. You could use your current phone as your remote, but leave…

Christmas, 1990. Still have everything, including extras like the external power supply to run without batteries. I keep it in my office and play either tetris or mario baseball regularly during downtime to unwind.

All of my smart phones have had a physical keyboard, the last two, because I chose that, palm treo, htc something or other running windows, palm pre, and epic 4g. Since 2006 I've rocked a keyboard and I lament this fall when it is time to upgrade that my options are less and less. I use other peoples iPhones probably…

stupid giz.....

No, TWW is out on instant now, so I assume other older shows like chuck and fringe are soon to follow.

I imagine gravity and engineering could accomplish this. It would just require rethinking everything, including heights. It would probably also work best with a shoot system in a multi level house or unit.

Content should be out soon or very soon. I saw The West Wing pop up on instant right around new years.

I couldn't agree more, except you can't put something like this back in it's box. The only way to curb guns is now with legislation. The only problem with that is that it takes money to enforce. I propose fining both gun manufacturers and gun sellers when their products are used illegally. The crime is negligence, and…

Damn the Man! Thanks for doing the closer reading.

I wonder what the rules are about charging for audiences. If you wanted to start your own movie theater to compete with the big boys...... and run a small business, it could be worth it. You could have lounge style movie theaters that are mom and pop shops supporting the local economy. at $500 per movie, all I would…

I'm sure it's a cost issue, these are most likely much cheaper to produce than solar panels. You have an absolutely valid point though...... the tech has been there to do this type of stuff, and I'm just assuming the issue, none of us have the numbers of cost benefit analysis.

Apple's answer is..... "that is what a thunderbolt display is for" That said, I would probably use a single USB extension cable as audio can be sent to fixed speakers that I wouldn't want to mess with, or to airplay devices.

The issue is with the NCAA. Universities that have off campus venues can and do sell anything they want. I work for a university that plays their basketball games at an NBA arena. Want a beer, go buy one. Want a frozen margarita, find it on the second floor. Want something more sophisticated, cocktail & wine bars at…

"Send in the troll!" "Stab Him!" Best game ever for Genesis.

I LOLed at how polite this entire thread has been. I feel like it would have turned nasty on other sites quickly with a lot of name calling.
