But will it blend?

"My God, if it weren't for this man we wouldn't all have our heads up our asses playing Bejeweled Blitz as time and tide blithely pass us by."

I worked for Apple for a long time, and I can tell you that not a week went by without a rumor about how Steve screamed at some employee about something that wasn't his/her fault. Most of them were overblown or flat-out false, but they did indicate a pattern. I never met him, but I knew people who had, and they all…

Twice! Originally, and then 20 years later when she had an iPod on her waistband.

The man was incredibly charismatic. (I worked for Apple for a long time.) In addition to the product announcements, there would be "town meetings," with Steve on stage, a live audience of local employees, and other sites participating via videoconference. Regardless of the agenda, we would all come of them pumped. I…

I thought Going Clear was a snoozefest, but I did enjoy the "church's" anti-Gibney site, along with the anti sites for the former members who participated.

Yes. Absolutely. All long-time Apple employees and all long-time Apple users are fanatics; some of the most hard-core are referred to by employees as evangelists. (I am both a long-time user and a former long-time employee, but I don't evangelize anymore.)

I think things are a lot better now than in the '70s, probably even better than in 2000. In the '70s, if you knew the man, it was pretty much assumed that whatever happened wasn't rape.

What is it, like 1950? I'm logging in from a place where men don't dismiss women by calling them "sweetie."

Good point. Guns or knives?

I misread that as "DJ Snape." I think they should do that.

The Pirate Bay is back? I thought they were gone forever. I've been using Kickass, which is much easier to use (and doesn't open porn and malware windows in my browser), but TPB had a much better selection.

I don't get it. Dikachu wasn't in that video.

You weren't wearing enough shirts. The minimum number of shirts for personal safety is 5. Also, I bet those jeans didn't hide the fact that you have a butt.

Wow. Hot-button topic, many contentious comment threads, lots of name-calling, and you think a discussion of analogy vs. comparison is useful.

Kind of the opposite happened to me — I became extremely careless about my personal safety. I did all those things that make people say "she was asking for it" — I walked alone at night in bad areas, I went to parties and got really drunk with people I didn't really know, I didn't bother locking doors, etc. I just…

Mine was wearing a suit, and it was after a symphony concert. Really hard to spot those.

I'm at 35 years and counting, and I still need a shower if I tell someone my story. But then, it was the '70s, no one believed me, and medical and law enforcement personnel actively discouraged me from pursuing legal action.

Well, you're off my invitation list.

"Here's what I think about rapists: They were raised and given the wrong idea that they are powerful and women are meaningless and they are entitled to take whatever they want. They think that by committing sexual violence it establishes their strength and their dominance."
