Agreed. I feel people often forget that Stephen Colbert is a character, not the actual person.

Agreed, when I heard the news before, I was under the assumption that actual design was being done with this, and not viewing the product per say. Still, looked like it was a pretty natural system to use. I'm sure it'll be useful,

I find it hard to believe that the same person writing that line is going to have the same qualifications as someone actually doing what we imagine the NSA does. A copy error completely means that the NSA is incapable of doing its job! &

I'm really worried about this to be honest. It doesn't seem that Spotify is doing that well to begin with according to past articles, and now they'll have a competitor that has the ability to sink money into this? The future is nigh for Spo

Honestly, I don't know why. Is it for stability reasons?

They are only excluding iOS? Macs are still allowed? What's the problem?

I would agree if it was the entire package, because those accessories don't help. However, if it was solely the computer and monitor, I think a difference would be seen. HP has been doing the black bezel for quite a while. You can see it wi

Honestly, the monitor is different enough for me. The keyboard could use a little distinguishing, but I can still say which is which. The touchpad, however, is an entire other story.

Well this was awkward. I don't know how it happened. http://i.minus.com/iyCNAFZpPgfY7.png Did you make the game? I love that the instructions are embedded in the game. Strange color scheme and effects though. I did like the sounds.

What are the reasons for not using offline caching? Was their intent to prevent piracy, or was this just an instance of a poorly coded application?

Is it just me, or are all the videos listed as "temporarily unavailable" when I try to watch them? I even tried downloading the torrent, but I see no seeders either. This could be a good resource, but I honestly can't evaluate the effective
