Thank you, appreciate the details!

I’m not surprised. You could almost feel their burning passion.

“Available 3/29". They seem to be located in Utah, so another half hour, perhaps? I have to say that between this (7W, 12.8 oz, $100) and the Anker (21W, 14.7 oz, $56) I’m leaning more towards the Anker on specs alone. But I’m very interested in real world conditions testing as well before deciding.

No kidding. It’ll make sense if they’re making beef jerky though :)

Holy ... cow, I guess is appropriate! Thanks for the link!

I’ve been told that the real estate market in Dubai is really hot.

It’ll be interesting to see the numbers for this. Keeping dairy cows and importing their feed can’t possibly be cheap either.

Saudi Arabia raise cattle?? Why not just import beef milk?

Dear Mr. Destination, you are wanted for allegedly leaking top secret information from an ongoing FBI investigation. Please turn yourself in to the nearest law enforcement facility. Thank you.

I tried to find a CSI:Cyber photo with someone in that pose, but was unsuccessful.

Did they withdraw because they feel that they would lose the case, which would set a bad precedence for similar demands in the future?

Some people make a distinction between state government and federal government. They seem to feel that a state issued ID is OK and a federal one is evil. Don’t ask me, I think it’s stupid, especially since I’m 100% sure the states share all information with the federal government.

Lots of people, lots of cars, and more news helicopters, perhaps?

Kow-towing to the Chinese government to produce a custom OS may seem like an odd move for a US software giant, at a time when the US government is seeking to prosecute Chinese government employees for hacking.

Yeah.. sometimes it makes you wonder if there’s a higher controlling power who’s sadistic and likes messing with us.

Not only twitter. This was only from a few days ago :

I have no idea how some of these people think. They’re still my friends, I just avoid discussing politics and government with them.

I don’t understand either. What’s more, it baffles me how there is still no national ID and how much resistance there is against having one. I know people, intelligent and highly educated ones, who are employed in high tech, are well paid (even by Silicon Valley standards), have a social security number and driver’s…

Chewbacca - that’s the texture I was trying to figure out! Thanks! Looks like the bald eagle that tried to kill him got in there somehow too.

With conversion loss and longevity of battery pack, would it be cost effective?
