The guy in the missle has his hand like that because photos took so long to capture, h

Yes. I loved AIM. Now I use Trillian.

Boy, that's hideous.

I'm aware of that, but the phones seem basically identical from a spec-perspective - 4.3" screens and Tegra 2 processors. They overlap quite a bit, especially to be on the same network.

If the Droid X2 is being released on May 12th, what's happening with the Droid Bionic? Last I heard it's release was pushed til summer, but does this meant that it's cancelled?

Got it. Thanks for the clarification.

Is this a joke?

Good point, but they're so far offshore that a storm could very well hit them and not land. Also, Delaware to Jersey is just the first part of the network. What happens when it extends further South?

I love this idea and wind power in general, but what happens when hurricane season rolls around and the farm gets smacked by a Cat 5 storm?

It didn't seem that awkward to me. It's not like they actually discussed iOS vs. Android or anything, and Tina didn't say what kind of phone she uses. I think the more interesting question is why was Eric Schmidt interviewing Tina Fey in the first place? I understand that it's an "Authors at Google" event, but if they…

Yes, but who would pay my ransom then?

What a nightmare. I think if I were rich and/or famous, I would stage the deaths of my loved ones just to avoid this sort of thing. Then, I would get them elaborate disguises (definitely a change in hair color, and maybe some plastic surgery) and hire them as personal assistants. That way, they'd always be around me…

Does any of this apply to laptops?

That's a RIM video, not a Giz video.

We use a progressive tax because people who make minimum wage can't afford to pay any percentage in income tax, but the uber-wealthy can conceivably afford to pay 99%. Since 0% for the lowest bracket up to 99% for the highest bracket is untenable, we make the spread 0% to 35% in the U.S. Wealthy Americans were able to…

I mean, how are flat tax rates anyone's vision of a utopia? There's a reason that the US uses a progressive tax, which is that it turns out to be much more fair.

Weird. It was on that map when I commented, but it's now been replaced by the Millstone Connecticut plant. But yeah, Shoreham is on Long Island. Lust look at it's Wikipedia page.

It is important to note that the Shoreham plant listed on the New York map is not active, and indeed never was - it was cancelled due to public opposition after construction was complete, but before it went online.

Why would you love flat tax rates? They don't work.
