not to say that buying facebook is a good idea, but nearly every reason on that list sucks.

If you have ever paid for food in a restaurant, or bought a video game, then there are lots of people (entire countries of them even) who think you're just as stupid as you think anyone who buys a Rolex is. Open your mind friend.

and in another 10 years, you would likely have realized a profit, inflation notwithstanding. a Submariner from the 1970s which retailed for $800 now fetches anywhere from $5K-$15K and up.

Wait, so you're saying a NATO strap is vulgar? Or an antidote to vulgar? Vulgar is pretty much the last thing a strip of black cloth can be called.

Wow, a belly button Rolex? That's what I call rare.

God I hate when people who don't know about watches write about watches.

51% of nothing is still nothing. Had he settled for less, we might have been reaping the benefits of the material all this time, and even with a 10% control, he and his family would likely have been very well off by now.

Jose Luis Escobar updated his status to "Incarcerated"

The fact that we call things we've never seen "alien" looking, despite them living amongst us, merely drives home the point that WE, humans, are as alien as any other living creature anywhere in the universe. We're no less freakish, or beautiful, or both, than any fluorescent jelly blob from 20,000 leagues under the…

Photojournalists/reportage/fine art photographers (typically some of Leica's biggest customers) have often historically carried a dedicated B&W film camera. I suspect many still do. This camera from Leica is clearly a nod to them, and anyone else who has been craving a dedicated digital black and white solution. …

A Rolex analogy is good, but a Jaeger-LeCoultre analogy is even better. Rolex makes far more watches in the than LeCoultre.

Hardcore rangefinder afficianados, of which I was one for years, will tell you that shooting with a rangefinder is a unique experience, and its resulting photos can be likewise unique.

Laff. Spoken like a true armchair critic who has never laid a finger on a Leica or spent any time really looking at images made with one.

Even if this guy somehow really does know the location of a body bag at the bottom of the sea, somehow, some way, he will be stopped from going after it. The Obama admin will DEFINITELY not be allowing anyone to pull up a bag with someone or something besides OBL inside. Nor will they risk the backlash from Al Qaeda…

Wow. I can't believe ol' Dick Dewberry is gay. There goes his reputation for not being gay. At least he has a decent gay porn star name. When life give you lemons, become a gay porn star, I always say.

hmm.

Umm, I don't own every camera, but every camera I do own shoots RAW, and there is no such thing as a black and white RAW file, at least on my cameras. RAW is raw...just pure unadulterated world on a chip. The world is color.

Giz, you're slowly turning into the stoner mail room guy who yammers on and on about bad movies, the giant bone he rolled last night, songs he thinks I'll love (despite not knowing a single thing about my musical taste), and pretty much any other time wasting topic other than "where the fuck is my mail?".

The thing about checkpoint security personnel is that their baseline state is one of desperately wanting to find something to react to. It's one of the only things in their jobs they can look forward to. They're chomping at the bit like a bomb sniffing German shepherd...it's all they're trained for. During the vast…

I smell a movie deal. Para-mus Activity? The Bayonne Witch Project? The Parsippany Horror? Passaicgeist? A Haunting in New Jersey?
