Does Angry Birds run on the Playbook? I bought a Gtablet (display sucks, but otherwise a powerful device). First thing anyone does when they try it out is to look for Angry Birds. I'm getting the feeling the Playbook's selling point is "We

I saw the list of stations, but that isn't new information. For instance http://www.npr.org/stations/ which maps the locations or http://www.radio-locator.com/ which presents a better list than the linked site here. Don't get me wrong,

Are the stations supposed to appear on the map? All I see is my location which I just entered. I know where I live and work. If the station locations don't show up on the map then the map widget is fairly useless.

Sort of. As I understand it this law would require amazon to start collecting sales tax. It does not mean amazon would be paying more themselves. Only that customers final bill would now include the local sales tax.

We kill each other based on skin color, village, accent, or religion. I don't find genociding a different species all that surprising. In fact, I expect it.

Do the little people pay that? Or do they take all revenue as salary and zero out the profit? Which is what I assume every small business does.

Video is only 3m35s long and I thought it was worth a watch. Nothing shocking or new, but the video does a good job of tying all the steps together for how (drug) corporations can reduce their tax load.

This article is nothing more than a chain-mail style bullshit list and it's sad to see it voted up so highly. I suppose it's a nice ego-stroke for all the self described introverts, but most of the "myths" are actually supported by their c

I don't bother with 5 star or 1 star reviews. Too much emotion to be sensibly reviewed. Three stars provide a nice balance. Things like "food was good, but service was slow." I find more valuable than a 2 paragraph review about how a wait

I have a netflix account but I still use redbox from time to time. It's nice picking up groceries and a movie on a Friday night. The $1.50 is pocket change and means a movie night doesn't have to be scheduled a week ahead of time.

I would hardly call the article favorable. Sure it says the airport is well run and profitable, but that is just an example of how the Russian government will step in and steal . Not exactly a ringing endorsement for investment.
