The "irregularities" only occurred in counties with majority black populations, in addition to targeting eligible ex-felons.

Please. Everyone knows the Lady Android phone is LG's Prada K2: [phandroid.com]

That would be a legitimate analogy if thousands of black voters hadn't been illegally deleted from the rolls in Ohio.

Not to be a bitch, but please change your n-dashes in the first paragraph to m-dashes. It's driving me crazy. #corrections

I think the dirty little problem here is something we don't often like to state, but know to be true: we tend to think of "more expensive" as "better." If something is relatively affordable, it must be for the commoners, right? Well, in this case, the commoners are laughing all the way to the bank/widget factory.

Whenever I nitpick on someone's grammar (for example, sports commentators "comment," they don't "commentate."), a friend of mine sarcastically says, "What, are you going to start a grassroots campaign against the word "commentate?" To which I reply, "Yes. The world needs to know."

I can't have been the only one to read "Many were surprised he had a GIRLFRIEND" as "Many were surprised he HAD a girlfriend."

I am inclined to agree with this, especially since the professionalization of college sports has reached such a ridiculous level, exposing just how warped our priorities are. I fear, however, the effect that may have on the racial diversity within basketball and football. There has been a lot of discussion recently…

Shouldn't it be building 3.14159~ rather than 3.1459~?

As a former sports editor of the Columbia Daily Spectator and a Yankees season ticket holder, I am outraged by the accuracy of this comment.

I'm sorry, but a .800 fielding percentage simply won't cut it in the Majors. Well, maybe for the Pirates.

You know, I can't stand the guy, but growing up in Washington Heights, it was incredible to see just how much of an impact he had on the local Dominican youth. An entire generation of kids grew up Red Sox fans despite living ten minutes away from Yankee Stadium.

I am so glad someone remembered this. They wrote in a "bulging dik" moment after the Levy incident in the episode "Dear Louise." What a great show.

I'm with you—it's free and syncs with my already existing Instapaper account.

It's about choice. Click-to-Flash gave you the option of enabling Flash whenever you want it. Similarly, I can turn off Flash on my Droid X if it's particularly straining my battery, or if I just don't need it at the time. There are certainly cons, but the presence of the pros means that the consumer should be able to…

@Landycakeboss: I second that, Hoegaarden is great. Duane Reade sells six-packs for under $9 for some reason, so I've been stocking up.

@Hami83: Yeah, but it's the integration of those areas that make the city great. Unlike Boston, Chicago, or (ew) LA, you can walk one block west and be in a completely different place. The lack of neighborhood segregation (for the most part) is one of the things I love most about living here, and I think is also one…

@gijenny01: Or you can choose from an array of phones that run Froyo and download the free app from the Android marketplace. Pro-choice.

@gijenny01: ...And to reiterate Jake's above point, if feeding the "fragmentation" means greater availability of choice and features, I'm all for it. It's the manufacturer's job to make sure consumers have options so they in turn can make a good decision on a purchase. You see, we have this thing called diversity of…

@runningfish: Ah, more condescension. Shall I rephrase? It's selling us short to assume that we would conflate images of soft-serve frozen yogurt and hard ice cream.
