Except for the fact that the other half of his show is dedicated to his obsession with Apple products, which he deeply loves.

Not buying something because it's in an ad is no better than buying it because it's in an ad. Buy what you want. The only reason that popularity of a car should figure into your purchase is when it comes to the difficulaty of having something esoteric serviced.

Except, of course, if you've ever printed color film to B&W paper or converted a color film image to B&W in photoshop, you'd know that you get very different results than if you had shot native B&W images. My family spent almost 25 years in photo and image processing, so I'm pretty effing aware of the difference…

So you are discounting everything mentioned in the quote from PhaseOne? Or did you open your mouth without RTFA?

It's what you call Zoey Deschanel when you don't know what twee means. Twee is a mostly British word meaning to cloying cuteness in a Precious Moments way. It normally refers to an old lady sort of flowery preciousness.

Yeah, the return of the spool was the moment that this amusing bit of Russian crazy got elevated to comedy gold.

I agree with you regarding the skeuomorphic interface changes. Truly horrible. To add insult to injury, the changes reference real-world analogues that users are increasingly unlikely to have ever used. Blotter calendars? Leather bound address books? Who has even had a paper address book in the past 15 years?

No YOU are being naive. They (the nefarious creators of gaming content) are taking advantage of people's fandom by selling them more of something they want in exchange for money. Those bastards!

Who cares if the data is on the disc? The game is the game. You spend your $60 and get X. You spend another $10, you get Y to go with your X. Just because it is complete and distributed on your disc already doesn't mean you have some right to get more than the core game they are selling. Whatever reasons people…

Brown Hell?

Not true. It depends on the value of your time.

At the time, they thought it was a fair transaction at the price for that particular product. Why would subsequent releases of different products have any bearing on a deal they agreed to?

Apple has become the biggest company in the world by steadfastly ignoring experts telling them what they should do to be successful. And you're suggesting that they should follow the example set by their less successful competition? A company doesn't lower prices to be a mensch, they do it when there is competitive…

It looks like milled aluminum and is no doubt produced in a very short run. Anything that isn't made in China or is made particularly well will cost more than you feel it is worth.

Dive watch is as much a style as it is a function. Dive computers costing only a few hundred$ address real diving needs with much better underwater readability.

They may not wear them to impress, per se, but they do wear them to look good. I like watches, a lot, but they are really just accessories to what I'm wearing. I don't wear jewelry, I wear a watch. No matter how expensive it may be, the nicest mechanical watch in the world doesn't approach a $20 Casio for accuracy…

Salt exacerbates the effects of hypertension, but does not cause hypertension. If you don't have high blood pressure, eating lots of salt won't give it to you.

How is this a higher price? It's $500, same as the last one was yesterday and the first one a year ago.

It's $99. Hard to get upset about that little money.

Huh? Nothing about this argues for the abandonment of copyright. If our society were to do abandon the idea of copyright, what makes you think anyone would bother creating any sort of entertainment professionally?
