what a hack of a "journalist". stick to blogs...

he says it's for law enforcement. little do we know it's for recording hot girls...

it doesn't matter that it uses a Bulldozer anyway. a development kit is not the same tech as the actual device. it just has to have a similar instruction set so you can run test code or a virtual machine. like the 360 development kit was originally a Mac. The Atari Lynx used a Commodore Amiga.

these people... these leeches ruined a potentially great coupon. part of it was Best Buy didn't foresee how leeches take advantage of a coupon. but by the time I got to the store, all the restrictions were increased so much, the coupon was near worthless.

feel left out that you had to join an Atari thread? :p

I'm not sure about the idea of using a forward slash as a company logo... And while his palette choices are maybe more coherent, I like the bright bold colors of Modern UI (aka Metro). It makes it pop.

she's not in the class of Noble. but while on the surface, it appears she plays the stoic, straight man or the confused/vulnerable person, there's a lot of nuance there. if you watch a lot of characters who try to play it straight across a lot of series, you begin to realize that she's doing a lot and not just…

this is a great piece on Fringe. but everyone should check out the EW (Entertainment Weekly) piece. that person loves Fringe as well. but what struck me about the other piece was his discussion on the boy.

he owns it so it doesn't apply. however, it is fact that whatever you do to an apartment belongs to the landlord. you can't argue the law.

breakfast all day... the Japanese are so lucky...

you can argue that it doesn't add value to the apartment. but it doesn't change the fact that everything he did to the apartment still belongs to the landlord by law.

i'm just going off the article which states "The Tiny Transforming Apartment".

okay, the wording of the article is deceiving. California is getting less money than expected because the stock didn't sell as well as they hoped and thus they couldn't collect as much tax as expected. It's more like they were anticipating that $600 million into the operating budget which was a mighty big…

no, if you're upgrading a place at your expense, a landlord loves that. they get to keep what you install. if you install ceiling fans, as the landlord, those become the landlord's property. you can't remove fixtures once installed. you can remove things like lamps but not what's considered permanent fixtures. of…

pretty amazing. but it's an apartment. he doesn't own it and any fixtures to the place belong to the apartment owner.

you go outside the US and most people use Live Messenger. I was in shock. all my classmates had a Live Messenger account and I was kind of forced to get one if I wanted to IM them.

LOL at the "my single friends who are female"
