@RedRaider: or the knuckle-dragging mouth-breather that says "I don't get it. Why are they doing that?" every two minutes.

@Tweeks: And I wonder what they'll do to ensure that you aren't inviting people over to your house for a movie-watchin' party, because you KNOW that will be frowned upon.

@RedRaider: $15 for two tickets?! Movie tickets are $12 each where I live.

@elSpanielo: DAMN YOU, LITTLE BOBBY TABLES!!

@DGTLHRT: Not in most states in the U.S.

@weendex: Cool story, bro.

@entropymaker: thank you! I've never understood why people loooove prince. I mean, to each their own, and I'm not criticizing per se, I just don't get the Prince worship that some people exhibit.

@PristineSneakers: the plug. THE PLUG! Why is it they never show the ugly cord snaking out along the ground? Oh, sort of answers itself, no?

@c_cornelp: "Well, when you have nothing else at the moment."

@Joe Stoner: eh, just some of us are patent lawyers, and we rarely respond. We just roll our eyes silently and try to look away as the armchair lawyers wallow in their ignorance.

@python2121: yeah, clearly you are not a patent lawyer. You are so very very wrong, and thank you for spreading misinformation around the net. Seriously, someone, somewhere, will regurgitate the nonsense you just typed and will make my job harder. Thanks for that.

@MrSmoofy: Huh? Most of the cost a civil lawsuit are born by the parties in the suit.

@FuzzysFriedChicken: And yet they will, because they know nothing about patent law that they didn't misinterpret from a site on the internet.

@Buzz Mega: so which airline do you prefer?

@ThorIsHere: Really? We love disturbing graves here in the states. Silly Japanese and Chinese people.

@Grive: No, more like these are even close to an actual patent application. I know that's not the goal, but it'd e like asking a professional artist what they thought of first grade crayon drawings.

@CommentingpointlesslyisMeh: Plus, how can anyone at Apple really disapprove of Steve's effect on their stock options?

@jesusplzhelp: Meh, my 42" HDTV only does 1080i/720p, but that's because it's from 2006. It still works fine, so no reason to get a new one. Plus I'm still trying to get the 2006 price's worth out of it (~$2500).

As a patent attorney, this post made me weep.

@diasdiem: To explain for the peeps that don't get this, Big Ben is the bell inside the tower , not the tower itself.
