@Vidit: I think it was intended for manufacturers. There still at that stage where they want people to make the phones for their OS so they can eventually show these phones off to consumers.

@technoindigo: Ah, one of my favorite pastimes.

@leftlane: Thanks!

@Yahweh Took My Prepuce: I think they might have taken a stance a long time ago that a standalone app was unnecessary. If you notice, most other blog apps don't have much functionality beyond the site.

@sid9221: Donut prices are up.

@SAfiftyseven: Actually, I guess the key term is "steel sheeting."

This is exactly what I'd like my office to look like. I think I'm going to have to bookmark this post. Would the person who owns this lair be willing to tell us how they accomplished this and what they used?

@BadFloppy: I think so. I don't think my Office for Mac 2008 has it though.

@Stem_Sell: I love that. +2

@FriedPeeps: $127. But yeah, you could probably make it yourself for cheaper.

@scifidonnie: I agree too but it all comes down to personal preference. The benefits of DIY include being able to have something just the way YOU want it.

In class and around campus, I literally have seen people whip out their phone and/or use their laptop to note down an event on the spot.

@Googlo The Otaku Pillow: I'm surprised no one has modeled their mansion after the Guggenheim that I'm aware of.

@Gotlactose: Really? Almost everyone I know at my college keeps a calendar. And since my school uses Google Apps, everyone already has a Google Calendar.

@veronykah: I absolutely abhor using a word and then realizing that the person doesn't know what it means. You can't always explain it either, for fear of sounding condescending. Sometimes this is the case when words are used more often in tighter communities than the general public - for instance, my college…

It's definitely true. My main language may be English, but I also speak Bengali and some Spanish and most recently French. The bengali doesn't strike me as portraying a different reality than English although it can be very different. Spanish is somewhat different as well, but when I speak French I feel like I've…

@sbdrbyman_212: Shhh. The key is that she doesn't know that you don't know.
