I like the way you think :)

Yeah, I think some of that comes from Dave Ramsey. Sure, credit cards are dangerous for some people, but can be quite beneficial for others. For those who can manage credit cards well, they might as well get the most rewards, like discussed in this article and http://twocents.lifehacker.com/credit-card-tu… .

Historically, purchasing power is halved about every 17 years, so $8k when will buy about as much as $4k now.

AGREED! Also, if you're just trying to do something quick like upload a few facebook photos or Skype home, nearly every McDonalds location on the planet has free wifi. You don't even have to go inside, you can usually pick it up in the parking lot.

As an aside, it should go without saying that you should protect yourself on any public network, but it goes double at the lower-tier places where the owner's friend's son set up the WiFi and it's unsegmented and every device can clearly see all other devices on the entire network (including the computers running the…

I really hate this. It's too bad more parents won't take the hour to learn a new way of doing things. If a 5 year old can do it, so can every adult.

I'm not sure I completely approve of the way RDJ handled this, but fuck that little piss ant student reporter for opening with a disrespectful question about penis size and then disingenuously trying to make him talk about feminism. Seriously.

To me, those seem like like sarcastic asshole responses to really shitty questions by pretentious college students

True. When questioning someones ethics, get at least a few data points before making a decision. If one person speaks bad, he/she may have ulterior motives...

I forget who it was now... but there was a comedian who once said "I apologize and I'm sorry are the same thing... unless you're at a funeral."

That was hilarious. Orchestral music, thespian voice-overs, a Borges quote, slow-mo montages—all in under 90 seconds. Impressive.

Oh..My...God. I just watched it. It makes me want to avoid it, even if it's good. Is the video supposed to be tongue-in-cheek? Two critical questions not answered by the ad for what is clearly earth-shattering and life-changing software: Will it make my coffee? Will it get me laid?

Hah - I was on SuperCharged with Adam Dachis yesterday and we were talking about this very thing. When they sent me the commercial before launch, I watched it and seriously thought "well, this is the most pretentious app ad I've seen ever." Even when I covered SwiftKey for iOS's launch, I noted that it also suffers…

The larger conversation here is about how our phones, inboxes, etc. are considered to be a private space. Apple figuratively spammed iPhone owners this album. It's one thing to offer it and then give users the option of downloading it for free. It's another thing altogether when it's in people's libraries without…

I never understood the draw to McDonald's coffee. I've tried it a few times from a few different locations and the coffee is always too hot and tastes burnt. Maybe I've always gone at a bad time...

Don't look a gift horse in the mouth. Especially if it's named McCafe.

I'm the same. I never thought I would enjoy the casino, but every few weeks or so I'll go with a friend with maybe 60 or 80 bucks between us and we'll play the slots and I always have a good time. There's just something about the sounds and the atmosphere I like about it. It's just a good night out and neither of us…

I agree. I don't view slots as a way to make money, but a way to have fun. I budget out a certain amount I'm willing to spend to have some fun, and then I have fun.

I was working in Puerto Rico a while back, and I'd keep all the change from my day, and when I went back to the hotel, I'd stop in the lobby and put it…

I never knew that the terrorists had such advanced views on women's issues.
