Unfortunately it's a fairly accurate stereotype in a lot of places. I lived it, too. At my school we had about 10 frats. I'd say more than half the houses on my campus fit the stereotype perfectly. In the 4 years I was there, a guy from one house died while driving drunk when he crashed his car into his own damned…

Yes, exactly. Give it just what it needs to drive the display and be done. That (at a good price) would make a nice secondary machine.

Notification center does the same thing...

Can you provide examples of specific workflows or tasks that the blackberry platform has a speed or efficiency advantage over the other modern platforms?

A notable feature for sure, but not one everyone sees value in. My android device remains stock for the most part, because I'm just there to get something done. It's like a desktop machine at this point - sure I'll rotate wallpapers and occasionally tweak the shortcuts I have easiest access to depending on usage…

I actually work closely with my girlfriend currently. We have worked together for about 5 years, and have been together for about 3. We see each other all the time and we work closely on projects almost exclusively. We are actually the most efficient people at the office. We get shit done.

There has to be a better way!

Owen Wilson has a very punchable face. Hey, maybe that's why his nose is crooked?

I would definitely trade up from my Focus ST to this car if it was for sale.

My ipad 2 came with iOS 4 and it runs perfectly fine on iOS 6 and I expect 7 and maybe even 8. You just have to buy in at the correct time. It's similar to buying cars; you usually want to avoid the first model year of a new design, as they work out the kinks. You buy in in the second year and you're getting a field…

I would love to see a copy of the one-line with this faulty relay called out and their proposed "remedy".

I loved my 9000. It might not have the chassis dynamics of the old classic 900s (of which I've owned 3) but it makes up for it with more power. And you can still do over 30mpg. Can't argue with that.

I own an ST (as of ~2 weeks ago) and I'd have to agree about the steering. At first it's jarring but after some seat time it does get better. I quite enjoy the feel of it now after I've put about a thousand miles on the car.

I'm personally a fan of mandatory gratuity with an option for adding more. It's part of their salary, as you say. BUT... there still needs to be a system to reward good servers. For large parties, the 18% thing is fine, but for smaller parties, I think it would be ok to use 15% as a baseline, just so that if you got…

I do like the idea of reference designs, and the Nexus line seems to prove that a company can put out a great first-party product that is successful while still maintaining a healthy ecosystem comprised of other manufacturers. Microsoft should keep at this thing and maybe they can set some good examples in the…

Kinda makes you wonder what our kids will have to deal with when they are parents themselves.

If you look at the fine print on the window sticker of a new car, you'll find that they do also express the fuel efficiency in terms of (volume) per (distance). I recently bought a Focus ST and right below the MPG figures it says 3.8 Gallons per 100 miles.

I'll go ahead and corroborate the age 11 thing. Our kid is 11 now, and he started cutting up his own chicken just this year.

Maybe. I've been pondering this lately, as we have an 11 year old who has trouble disconnecting from his online friends. I'm at a loss to find a way to get him to diversify his activities without making him miserable in the process. Plus, yeah... both myself and his mom are always online too so I feel like a hypocrite.
