I was expecting the headline to just link to a photo of Kevin Rose.

The action on the Natural 4000 is so stiff that I know several people who experienced severe bouts of RSI within hours to days of getting one. Check out Kinesis: great layout, and great switches. One or the other just isn't enough for many.

Yeah. Perhaps they gave it to the team that does their covers; they've got a 'desperate to seem novel' feeling to them lately that doesn't suit the image of the publication (or the quality of much of the content inside).

Got a Galaxy Nexus here that was given to me by Google (for free), and I still feel like I got ripped off. System UI crashes all the time, rendering it utterly useless until it times out and relaunches. (My Nexus 7 has the same problem.) On

I think to try to attribute this one at all would be risky. It's been applied to so many different industries (space, motor racing, wineries, farming, theater, video production business, trading, etc.), and said by countless famous people.

Best effort? You haven't met my mail carrier, who was busy one day and decided to remedy that by skipping delivery to my neighborhood that day, marking my package "no such residence at address," returning it to its sender, who just happened

Why the downvote? Just going from memory, their biggest security-breach PR disasters have been caused more often by sloppy employee security than by outside actors.

The reason I said it was a sincere request is because I honestly wanted people to try to convey why they find the Beatles so compelling. It wasn't a commentary on the degree to which I enjoyed that post, however much I may have carelessly l

Books: Time seems unrelenting enough that I'm not interested in reading tens of books about bands whose music I don't already love. Thanks for the suggestion, though. I'm related to a serious (professional and quite successful at it) musici

So, I've never cared for most of their songwriting. A few exceptions, but, for the most part, not so much. I heard a song of theirs once in the late 90s, and thought, "holy crap, this sounds like it was made 30 years later," in the same chr

Good question. I realized I was a bit vague about that, though I suppose both have crossed my mind. The former would seem to beget the latter, though. In terms of the two major songwriting talents in the same band argument, that's pretty in

I wasn't trying to sound profound. Had I been, I probably would have said I was "more popular than Jesus." But, thanks for the feedback, anyway. I've been trying to simplify my life, so being called a simpleton means I must be doing someth

Interesting. Thanks, both of you. And: it'd be kind of awesome if modern boy bands had to pay their dues playing adult clubs, first. Shame that isn't part of their legacy. Edit: I should add that I think there's something to be said for the

I don't think the issue is so much that he used one of these drugs once, it's that he used each of them once, and initially on a schedule so compressed that it left nearly no time to purge and recover. And while many of these drugs may

It's not a violation of privacy if it's leaked by a leftist, it's an inspiring revolution!

Now, if they can figure out how a boy band that started out with a following of veritable teenyboppers wound up receiving near-universal adoration, I'll be really impressed. Edit: This is a sincere request: can someone tell me why I should

Nice. Suggestion: consider adding youtube.com/stratforvideo to your mix.

They aren't. They're just opposed to terminating a functioning program before we have a better one ready to go.

One can cheer on Musk and everything he's doing, yet still see the complete short-sightedness of ending the Shuttle program. Nothing contradictory about that. We could take a clip without context, or we could read what Armstrong and Cernan
