That is exactly why they don't have one. They are trying to push people to buy Kindles. If they offer their Amazon Prime app to all Android users, they can't tout that as a feature of the Kindle. Of course it would probably get them more Prime subscribers, but they seem willing to sacrifice Prime users for possible…

I don't this article is really meant for people who are suddenly millionaires, but even so the idea of closing all your credit if you are rich is a bad idea if you want to stay rich. Even if you have 10 million in the bank, why would you want to take that out of whatever you have it in (say earning 10 percent in…

This won't actually work all that well as a coaster though. With the layer of glue, none of the water will be absorbed by the coaster. instead it will just sit on the coaster and probably roll off onto your table when you move the coaster. A good coaster should be somewhat absorbent so that the water that sweats off…

Am I the only person who read the end of the first paragraph in Stefon's voice? All it needs is a human garbage can.

"We are just trying to make sure people are comfortable," state Rep. Mike Kennedy, the Republican who introduced the bill, told a local newspaper.

Another great use for cooking spray is to make scooping cat litter easier. I always coat the litter box in a layer of cooking spray after I clean it. Then, when the cats inevitably pee right next to the edge of the box, the wet litter doesn't stick to the side and it easier to scoop out.

I'm a big fan of my Ducti.

It's generally not. At most, some people interpret straight edge as now sex before marriage or no promiscuous sex. I have never heard of someone interpreting it as no sex ever. At it's basic it is no alcohol, nor tobacco, and no recreational drugs. That's it. None of this silliness about sex or meat or whatever.

This has been one of my issues with maternity leave for a long time. Every time someone says "isn't Europe awesome? they give mothers a year of paid maternity leave" I would say no ,because the fathers don't get squat. One of the reasons gender roles for raising children are still as strong as they are is because of…

On one hand, I hope she wins a boatload of money. On the other hand, I have a feeling if she does, they will just take it from the money that was supposed to be used to test rape kits so the backlog will be bigger...

Technically you should sing the Happy Birthday song twice to get to 20 seconds. Not that anyone outside of hospitals does it.

But that fact is, her past conviction in no way effect this case. Yes, she has past conviction for prostitution. Yes, the cops were probably right when they thought she was soliciting. But that doesn't change the fact that the only evidence they had was the fact she was wearing clothing. If they had had actually seen…

The Galaxy Nexus is still a number of version behind on Verizon while being up to date on every other carrier. The Nexus line is pure Android, and Google has put the updates out there, but Verizon is incredibly slow in approving them (or just doesn't want to). This is the reason they decided not to make a Verizon…

Verizon has a lot going against it (even if coverage isn't one of them). First, they are still CDMA, which just annoys me to no end. There isn't any reason to still be doing CMDA, especially when you have to have a GSM sim in every phone for international coverage. Second, they have an infuriating need to control…

I've often said that baseball is a great 45 minutes of game crammed into 4 hours.

Generally, I won't pay for apps. But there have been some special apps that have gotten me to pay a dollar. The only app more than $1 I bought is Zombie, Run! which was actually $7.99. But that was totally worth it. But generally it is at most $1.

While you may not have anything then, why can't you plan for the future. It wouldn't be hard to think of things and put them in. Sure, you may not know your careers, but it would benefit to put in "If one party makes more than $20000 a year more than the other, then there will be spousal support of $X" or the person…

I don't see how the pre-nup could be considered a "way out". Divorce is almost never easy. It's not like someone thinks "well, we had a fight. normally I would stick it out but since I have a pre-nup, I'm just going to call it quits now" (well, not anyone in a real relationship). The pre-nup just guards against some…

Having been married (and had an very amicable divorce) the best advice I could give anyone is to always get a pre-nup. ALWAYS. The idea behind a pre-nup is simple to make sure that if the marriage breaks up (and half do) that you have a fair starting place for dividing thing which will help cut down on the animosity…
