    Best Buy to Redesign Stores to Look More Like Apple Stores

    I spend half my time in Best Buy trying to find new ways to politely tell the employees to f*ck off.

    Canadian Crosses U.S. Border by Showing Passport on his iPad

    I'm a little surprised that he got into the US. However, it's a complete non-story that he got back into Canada. I've personally gotten into Canada in the past with just a photocopy of my birth certificate, and didn't get back home without a lengthy chastisement from the US border guard for...

    Google Has Its Own Beer (Gulp!)

    halcyonToo bad they don't want to enter the beer business. Android beer might be yummy and sell well. Gingerbread and Honeycomb sound like they would make good beers. Cupcake, Froyo and Ice Cream Sandwich, not so much. I'm still undecided about Donut.

    For $20K You Can Watch Theater Movies at Home

    Given that there are 8 million millionaires in the US, I don't really think they'll have that much trouble getting 250,000 (about 3%) to bite. Their target customer is the type who already has theater-quality equipment in their home, not your average American household.

    Did Verizon Just Confirm iPhone on Twitter?

    Dear Tom's, Could you please stop posting all of these gossip pieces? Even this article points out in the first sentence that an iPhone/Verizon article is posted every week.

    Gay Couple Uses Skype to Legally Marry in Texas

    1pp1k10k4m1Exclusive girl/girl or guy/guy relationships means we can't reproduce and the human race goes extinct...therefore it is unnatural. Plus, homosexuals have much higher insurance and STD rates than heterosexuals. I'd like oatmeal chocolate chip please. Two in fact. Sorry, I felt that it...

    Gay Couple Uses Skype to Legally Marry in Texas

    Ah, a good example to start with: sinfulpotatoMarriage is for procreation, period. If marriage is only for procreation, then should we ban straight couples from getting married if one of the partners isn't capable of producing offspring? Should we jail heterosexual couples who don't have...

    Gay Couple Uses Skype to Legally Marry in Texas

    Ah, the old gay marriage online debate. I will send a cookie to anyone who can think of an argument that doesn't boil down to one of these: -"I disagree with heterosexual marriage law." -"My religion/acquaintance says that it's bad." -"Eww, gross!"

    Man Drowns Following GPS Instructions Into Lake

    It is the responsibility of the driver to adjust his driving to the environment. If he cannot stop in time to avoid a stationary object, then he was clearly at fault - whether he was driving too fast or was somehow distracted. Sure, he may have had no reason to assume there was a lake in front...

    Slip of the Tongue: HP Exec Mentions 'PalmPad'

    Based on the context, I highly doubt he meant that they'd be calling it a "PalmPad." Rather, it's like Steve Jobs stating at a board meeting that they're planning to release an iWalkman in the third quarter of 2001.

    Blaming Youtube for allowing copyright infringement is a bit like blaming WalMart for shoplifting.
