Andrew- Thanks for being such a useless douche. You've finally pushed me to find a real tech website. I appreciate the PM, I was on the fence before you sent it.

I guess the price of the Kindle fire was too cheap to justify going to a straight ereader. The fire does the ereader thing, but it also gives me all the other goodies- listen to music, full color web browsing, apps, watch/stream movies. It's just a whole lot more value for the money. I find it like a giant iPhone-…

Dammit I try to introduce someone from work to the tech blog I read and the first thing that pops up is a big marijuana bud and this title. Thanks guys. Can we get back to tech?

I use the program "Calibre" to sideload books to my Kindle all the time and have yet to use the amazon store. Calibre also changes formats so It doesn't really matter what format things are in when I get them.

My wife had an older Nook that I used...then refurbed Kindle Fire went on sale for 135ish..... I bought one and will never go back.

We also have a very non menacing mini-shuttle. Hell, it doesn't even have people in it, how dangerous could it be?

And I lost my star for one comment talking smack about Iran...... guess in retrospect I was correct.

No everyone. I got the iPhone 4 as a mandatory upgrade for my original iPhone since ATT was cutting off support for them. I didn't suck up a contract obligation for the iPhone 4 since I wasn't on contract before.

Spoken like a true American pedophile. It's the excuse frequently used by pedos in the US to justify their behavior. And yes, I have interviewed quite a number of pedophiles in the course of my employment.

I've used Yelp to find some really good local restaurants- but you do have to read the reviews and figure out why people gripe with low reviews. Sometimes its stupid stuff i.e. I went to the local Texas Rib joint and couldn't find a vegan dish...so I give it 1 star.....

I have to admit, those reviews are pretty damned funny. I may actually buy one myself for the magical powers. :)

The New Pyramid Diet- That's right, we give you minimal amounts of food and water, and you toil all day long in the hot desert sun building pyramids and dragging 10 ton rocks on rollers. You'll shed those nagging pounds like magic!

Okay I did it. Now my wife is pissed at me. Says she doesn't have enough left over money to pay for gas. She just left for work...hopefully she wont make it home then I can play with my new Kindle in peace.

I'd be afraid of how the drug dealer was going to get these out of me when I got to the other end. Will they wait for them to peacefully pass naturally, or will the impatient SOB decide to remove them mechanically before the cops catch on.

I'm already violating the terms of Facebook by posing as a fictional squirrel with my account. I'd hate to break another rule by giving out my password.

You really don't understand CA's dui laws. There are both civil and criminal components. If you refuse to take a chemical test, the DMV will administratively suspend your license for a year- when you apply for a license you agree to be tested and sign that refusal will cause a suspension.

I don't wear diapers.

Nespresso pods have been available in the US for ages. I bought a Nespresso maker from Macy's ages ago. It has since died and gone to espresso machine heaven.

When I served in the military the first thing I was told when I moved into my barracks was "dont drink the bottled water in the door of the refrigerator". Since alcohol was prohibited in that country, it was smuggled in inside bottled water.

Not realistic. It only has two seats, my wife would never let me buy one without room for car seats in the back to take the kids. Besides, I don't see any lasers on that thing. What good would a two seated flying car be without lasers?
