1) Printing is a surprisingly small slice of the cost of publishing. Especially for publishers creating work, versus linking to it. Wired cites a figure of less than 5%, maybe 3%.

The unfortunate thing about relying on oil/gas/coal industry-funded "research", such as you have, is that they only pay for results that fit their quarterly statement.

Ronald was lucky, really.

Kids. Kids. Kids.

This is what people focusing on spec sheets will never understand. At some point early in the adaptation curve, "good enough" hardware specs are met. From that point onward, canny software engineering and UI innovation make for more superior products.

Sigh.

I'm assuming you're eager to fork over a couple hundred dollars to a perfect stranger without checking everything out then?

Almost as genius of a plan as Arm & Hammer convincing consumers to buy a box of their product then empty half of it down the sink to "refresh" your drains.

I can see Nokia's employees' perspective. Admittedly, Microsoft has resources that Nokia lacks, yet the employees are witnessing their company being yet another hardware manufacturer, competing in an undifferentiated fashion, producing widgets.

So scientists can make males hyper-competitive, then combative.

So long as they're enhancing the abs, I wish they'd gone the extra mile and enhanced the groin area. You can't really defend the galaxy if your basket doesn't super-impress.

Oh, sorry, I read sarcasm where there was none. Cheers!

I remember fondly my Grandmother recommending the works of Tennyson. Much to my delight, I discovered rather graphic Holmes/Watson slash fiction hidden within the volume she praised. But the ones with Moriarty wearing jodhpurs dictating their tempo with a riding crop were a bit over the top. But only a bit.

Err. Kanye is a musician of some renown, and he wrote a little ditty called, Golddigger. Some people have heard it and some of them? Liked it.

While it's a stereotype, many of the men who are obsessed with material gain neglect other aspects of development, leading to stunted personalities, immaturity and self-centeredness. And it's a choice some of them made, long ago.

The likelihood of Bucky appearing in his '40s costume of tunic and red leggings (and Sten gun) look increasingly remote.

@KatScratchFever: ...Thus setting themselves up for a lawsuit, which I hope a community-activist type lawyer takes on pro bono.

Zach Weiner is 15 kinds of awesome and if he visits here finding he's featured, I hope he's immediately starred (and perhaps even asked to produce some work for the Mighty Gawker Empire).

11) The Smoke Monster cameo didn't work out as intended, due to vacuum of deep space.
