It's impossible to say that sponsorship didn't help recruit a single soldier. Sponsorship, and advertisement in general, aren't about selling product. They're about building a brand in the consumer's mind. If you associate the National Guard with something they like (NASCAR, in this case) then they will be more…

Ugh. Your sailboat analogy strikes a bit of fear into my heart. In the sailing world we now have reasonably priced crappy boats like Hunters, which are poorly built living rooms with a hull and mast attached. But because that sort of boat captured a big part of the more casual market, we also now have luxury…

This doesn't actually catch Google or the other listed companies in any kind of lie. They never claimed that they had no contact whatsoever with the NSA. The specifics listed in this letter (BIOS vulnerabilities and a shared set of core security principles) are well outside of the scandal of spying on American…

That is my #1 reason for checking the LA Times.

A by-the-inch pricing scheme is just the boost Oculus Rift needs. It would be one of the cheapest platforms on the market.

If it doesn't force the sale of the team, what exactly does a "ban" mean?

The Star Wars films have always been limited to one real female character at a time. This was most comically apparent when Padme died following Leia's death. It's like a twisted version of Highlander. There can only be one.

130 degrees, are you mad? Not unless you're running triples. On a single monitor your most realistic FOV is going to be way low, like 45 degrees.

I noticed when that line was delivered on the show, but I assumed they weren't making a racist pun because A) it's a dated, obscure term that I'm not sure I've heard outside of Deadwood episodes and B) if they knew the term then they'd definitely have sense not to use it in the most widely syndicated show...in the…

Porsche dealerships will jokingly refer to the sort of problems he's seeing as "The Porsche Experience". They have this attitude that buyers of luxury sports cars understand they are buying unreliability, that you can't reasonably expect a car to be watertight.

Wasn't this built to replace the Gorbals? That was much worse, so however this may have failed to achieve its lofty dreams, it probably improved things for the residents.

It looks like it would drive very poorly AND you can't actually race it. Get a real kart for an actual class - you probably won't go as fast, but you'll be safer and have more fun.

Since sniffing traffic is fairly passive, I don't know what he's doing that could void the warranty. In any case, nothing here constitutes industrial espionage. The big car companies have teardown rooms that they keep disassembled versions of all their competitors cars in and even that isn't industrial espionage. …

But Amazon operated in roughly the same market space using Kindle Fire and they went either unchallenged or unsuccessfully challenged by FyreTV. Unchallenged use is precedent enough. It would be hard for FyreTV to pursue a trademark claim at this point if they didn't do it earlier. There is also the detail (not sure…

Well, maybe if you kept a bigger balance you would.

The Kindle Fire gives them precedent for use in this market space that's going to be hard for FyreTV to overcome.

If it bends it's, funny. If it breaks, it's not funny.

*EDITED BECAUSE I WAS WRONG*

What are you talking about. Everyone is dying to know who will win. Will it be the Audi or the Audi?

In the US, any collegiate-level gamers would probably have to take drug tests. Our finest players would then be ineligible.
