While this is fine for things made of wood, metal, and other solid things. Couches, chairs, or anything with upholstery should NOT be picked up off the street.

@Benevolent_Dictatrix (patently absurd): For some reason a lot of people find the term "colleague" pretentious.

First rule of journalism: You are not the story.

@unknownsock: Windwaker was a 9 out of 10 right up until you get to the part where you have to scour the whole damn ocean for triforce shards. Then it becomes an exercise in mind-numbing boredom.

@JakeMertz: They did. But journalists are a skittish and risk-averse lot. They need to have the story NOW NOW NOW and they can't trust that to any other WiFi carrier.

@Eulatos: You know. This fact has been repeated a gajillion times by now and people still continue to say "Hurr! Why don't you just get a separate network hurr hurr"

@John-Hamptonshire: God WTF is this eggs, milk, and sugar bullshit. I was expecting a fucking cookie and this just looks like a bunch of bowls of random ingredients. SUCKS!

@Ashutosh: Mac icons vie for coveted space on the dock. They need to be pretty to earn the distinction. Otherwise I just launch them with Quicksilver.

@saxgod: Yes. I'm sure Steve Jobs himself oversees the approval of every app in the store.

@clashwerk: I LOL'd at work because of this.

@RandomThought: But, that's basically what the Fantastic Four comics are. . .

@John_Hazard: That's an awful analogy.

@krismry: "Writers are best read and not seen or heard"

@A Pimp Named DaveR: Over the past 10 years though, urban planning and neighborhood design have made huge strides towards making different, more liveable and walkable neighborhoods in real life. A Sim City refresh could benefit from letting go of some of it's biases about how neighborhoods are designed (Hard zoning…

@Batousi: They're making a profit on it now, but only because actual TV makes the lion's share of the money that goes into developing new shows. The online component is just meant to capture the audience that isn't watching as much TV. As more people watch online, the revenue per show will decrease. If you get to a…
