I'm with you. I will occasionally put my first name at the bottom of personal emails just to break things up, but it really seems unnecessary because by the time my recipients see my sig, they already know who sent the email. It's right there at the top.

That must be a northern hemisphere galaxy. I hear they rotate clockwise down south.

Rational arguments can never win against True Believers, whether you are talking about religion, politics, the climate, or tech. Who needs reality when your worldview already gives you the "Truth."

Actually, most banks (and other businesses) support IE first because every Windows user has it.

If it works for you, great, but I recently had to clean a coworker's laptop after a rootkit slipped right past Norton. Regarding size and speed, I certainly hope they have improved, because the versions of Norton and McAfee that I'm familiar with have slow file I/O to a crawl.

As it is, the icons and labels would still be too small to use on all but the largest tablets. And touchscreens on a desktop are wasteful of time and energy, unless you only use them infrequently.

You beat me to it, too.... and said it better.

Oh well. I was wondering how long Facebook would reign before the Next Big Thing came along to dethrone it. Looks like FB may be accelerating the process.

In Hollywood, reality may be bent to suit the needs of the story.

Thank you. Deep sea work is difficult even on a good day, and this methane would have to be handled very carefully. Given the track record of the current government and industry players, I'm not sure I would trust them to do the job properly.

I bet former Digital Research execs regret playing hardball with IBM.

I kind of like Comic Sans. Maybe that's why everybody always looks at me so strangely.

Search results could be sorted based on how many people Liked them.

Whaddya mean "too bad?" You didn't trash the place, did you?

I guess McD realized that many people do still use XP, while no self-respecting follower of Steve would be caught dead with anything but the latest.
