Thank you! Extreme adjectives get thrown around way too often here. By very definition of the word - an e-reader can't possibly be considered "stunning", just like a fucking sandwich can't be "epic".

I despise kitchen gadgets that are for a single purpose that was somehow miraculously achieved before said gadget was invented. Anyone ever heard of a knife?

Depends on your idea of dangerous. A large solar flare of that scale in our direction could certainly disrupt or even harm satellite constellations.

Is there not a mechanism to prove her paper was essentially plagiarized by the consortium? Can she not utilize any channels available to her?

I was thinking there was a little Bang & Olufsen thrown in there for good measure. I agree - great design in displays nowadays.

I'm with you. Good lord could you imagine? *shudder*

I'm with you - I think it's a shitty idea - but I guess whenever there's a transaction being made digitally there's an opportunity for fraud. I don't understand why people don't walk around with a few bucks in their wallet. I get annoyed being behind people who pay for a newspaper or a pack of gum with a debit or…

Hurricanes (or Cyclones) are nature's way of trying to achieve thermal equilibrium due to imbalances in global atmospheric circulation. There's no more effective convection mechanism than a massive cone which quickly transfers heat from sea level into the troposphere. Trying to intervene in this process is a…

Probably the prospect of having their company shut down 2 days after implementation.

I'm a generous tipper but I totally agree with you - making me a BLT and putting it in a takeaway bag doesn't exactly have "service" written all over it. I don't tip a cashier at Safeway for running my groceries through so why should I tip some hipster who put a bagel in a paper bag? Ridiculous.

Exactly.

I have an 8TB raid array and I can't imagine what that would cost as a Thunderbolt array. I love the idea of Thunderbolt so much but holy shitballs every single Thunderbolt accessory I've seen has been laughingly expensive.

Yeah I agree. I can see field photojournalists needing to get material transmitted immediately, but I'm sure that challenge has already been solved by other means. For the casual user - there's no need to have instant upload. A 3G camera to me seems ridiculous.

Although in the 90's I had great experiences with SONY products, the only thing SONY I still have is a flatscreen television. I remember purchasing a VAIO computer about 10 or so years back and it was a disaster. Brought it back that day and got an HP instead. I hope SONY can recover and be a leader again - they…

Upconversion? I doubt that. You can't add resolution to something. You can sharpen an image that is stretched, but you can't really "upconvert" to 4k resolution.

Are those lululemon? They certainly look like their logo.

Exactly. A few drinks in and people are slamming down the buzzers and having fun - I can see that iPad easily getting broken. I don't like it being attached to the tablet.

Another stupid gadget. Just use a chef's knife FFS.

That's stylish? I'd rather have a jar of afterbirth on my counter. That's absolutely hideously ugly.

I don't understand this actually. Why would anyone turn their nose up at Google advertising their own products on their search page? Last I checked it was google.com not opensourceentitlement.com
