@D0GG: I think they have a seperate stock that is already on its way directly from Shenzen to the retail outlets.

@Dante Orpilla: He hates everything non-iPad. He's also probably jealous that the iPad has nothing close to a retina display. or a flat glass back.

Now, now. This doesn't mean you can't get one before then. They still have a stock for launch day. Apple would never push back their launch date. That just means that it now no longer pays to pre-order. Personally, I plan on going to my local Radioshack. They don't have much foot traffic and few people know they even…

@slungsolow: I had the same situation. My card company (chase) just cancelled the second order. So now my second phone is in limbo. I had Chase take the hold off, but I don't know if Apple will re-run the card. And of course I have no way of contacting Apple because their phones are down.

Well you have to hand it to Nintendo. Sega isn't a household name anymore, and Sega doesn't have one of the most successful game consoles of all time. As a very casual gamer, I thought Sega had gone out of business.

Slightly Off-Topic: every time I see that picture, I can't help but wonder why a movie with a $500 MILLION budget would use a <$500 sound mixer from a company that has a terrible reputation in the industry.

@Dr. Nemmo: I can't imagine the tirade you'd get in return. :)

@I'm@work,shhhhh.: I have one. Here in Florida, it's unbearable. Even on max brightness.

That's outside right? Well forget about using a Nexus One.

AT&T makes you pay now, whereas I believe Apple charges when they ship it to you.

looks like apple's servers aren't the only ones that are hammered

@CaptainSnarky: Right. God, that movie was a continuity mess when it came to uniforms.

@Gimmi Mørgäikkönën: Yeah, and what season would that be from with the new style communicator? Even in Season 7 they didn't wear those communicators.

I would be utterly confused about the whole world cup frenzy had I not been traveling in Italy during the last one. It's insane. We were staying on the sleepy, quiet, Amalfi coast. It would be late at night, and you'd hear nothing but the occasional passing car, but then Italy would score. And you'd hear shouts, air…

@McGinge: Holy crap, it paws the air. We're doomed.

@walkingagh: Droid's 854x480 = 409,920 pix

@mrgibblechip: Uhm, I think changing from a lump of air-filled leather to a perfectly-spherical composite ball changes the game quite a bit, don't you think?

@Dr. Evil Genius: When Skeletons Live: Yep, she rarely has it up:

@Josh Barker: Yep, definitely a peak for SNL. I still like to pepper in "Maaaverick *wink*" into my conversations.
