Thank you for writing this. I’m a fat man and I am attracted to attractive people - and they tend to be overweight. I’ve found that confidence is sexy regardless of size.

I give a shit about darker mornings. Seeing light in the morning is inspiring; dark mornings are depressing as fuck.

Point: No other species has learned how to prepare dairy products like cheese and yogurt, nor has any other species learned how to pasteurize milk.

New York seems kinda skewed thanks to NYC. I expect I could live in CNY and be ludicrously happy for $50K-$60K.

How about using Windows 7, where you don't have to disable features to work the way you want to?

And the majority (MAJORITY!!) of people reading your post think you are a looney.

Fuck you, Leslie Moonves. Fuck you up your stupid ass.

I think it's up to individual interpretation. I never really liked anything past "Life, The Universe, and Everything" and don't consider the 4th and 5th books (nor "Young Zaphod Plays It Safe") to be required reading. And I've never read the 6th book in the increasingly poorly-named Hitchhiker's Trilogy.

iOS is to Mac OS as Android is to Linux. Most people will be happy with iOS, something that "just works" even if it doesn't quite do everything the way they want to. Other people will want Android because they can customize everything about their phone right down to the kernel of the OS. Then there are companies…

"If you like the look of Windows 8's Start Screen...."

I agree that Linux is still a niche OS for geeks or people who want to breathe more life into old hardware. I also agree that people threatening to leave Windows for Linux is ludicrous... because Windows 7 is still fantastic.

Exactly.

No desire to run Ubuntu on a phone.

I inherited my father's PC Limited 286 and a 2400baud modem so I could dial in to Cornell and check my email at grad school in '92. He had moved on to a Gateway 486 by that time.

On Windows 7 I use Chrome. I refuse to touch Windows 8, so I have no idea about IE10. But IE9 seems clunky to me.

A 360/Apple TV *is* a PC.

I used a fill-in-the-blanks ballot that was run through a scanning machine. I like this system because there's a paper trail in case there's a need to recount.

When Mac OS X came out, one of the earliest applications available made the Apple Menu behave like it did in Mac OS 9. Eventually people accepted the new paradigm of the Dock.
