@K_REY_C: At first I laughed, because it was clearly a satirical jab at Apple's ridiculously over-simplified interface. Then I realized this is a REAL PRODUCT, a digital tablet with built-in limitations that make it less useful than a $1 legal pad and a $.25 pencil. And I laughed even harder.

It's a pool system: at any given time there's hundreds of thousands of articles available to claim for anybody with the right credentials. eHow (the lowest common denominator) has the brunt of the available work. I've never looked for writing topics because I stick to tech stuff - how to swap out a hard drive, how to…

@KamWrex: Basically, just you apply for their writer program and complete the (easy) 3-story initiate process. Payout is twice a week via PayPal.

There's always content farm grunt work. It's not glamorous (some blogger zealots might even tell you it's not ethical) but if you've got specific knowledge and decent writing skills you can make respectable money in your spare time.

How about an oversized Confederate ironside battleship?

"Hmm, how do we make Han Solo into a western character?"

See, crap like this is what keeps me from jumping into 40+ years of continuity. The geekier-than-thou message at the bottom doesn't help, either.

Something tells me you won't see Clint Eastwood donning the cape and tights anytime soon.

I've been waiting for a checkbox system in Google Reader for MONTHS. I'd like to be able to select multiple entries, then click "mark as read" like I can in Gmail. Anybody know a GreaseMonkey script for this? Extra points if you can figure out how to do it on Android, too.

Any way they want to.

Is this why long-term addicts start to look like mutants?

Gahh! My eyes!

"I know what you're thinking, Patrick, and yes -I am this beautiful."

Finally. I've been hacking Flash to run fullscreen with multiple monitors for YEARS. Now Adobe, how about a consistent toolset for them Creative Suite programs, hmm?

I really liked What Women Want... but only because Gibson's douchy character meshed perfectly with the Frank Sinatra soundtrack. Put Sinatra songs in ANY movie and I subconsciously add a star (see Matchstick Men).

I've never understood the compulsion to put a TV over monitors like that. Seems like an awful lot of neck

That's a happy Hero.

I'd say the ONLY way to avoid being ripped off at the NFL(R) Super(C) Bowl(TM) is to stay home. You'll have a better time with your friends and family, too, having avoided the dicey issue of selling their organs for snack money.

@AquaScorpio: I have tried it, and it is a bit sluggish (but more than useable). But understand: the current build isn't built from source, like the best Android mods. It isn't even a modified version of an existing ROM. The guy cobbled it together from code on a PC preview emulator - and it works!
