Maybe Larry should buy his next iPad from Walmart - they drop it so you don't have to! http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=L_DLJK4o2YM http://www.theregister.co.uk/2012/11/09/walmart_employees_filmed_trashing_ipads/

Went to a Microsoft retail store at lunchtime with other co-workers, just because. Definitely an "Uncanny Valley" experience where you felt you were in a store, to misquote Douglas Adams that was almost, but not quite, entirely like an apple store. The main difference being the microsoft store used darker wood for the top surfaces of their tables. Other people have had similar experiences. http://news.cnet.com...he-apple-store/ Definitely moving towards a future full of devices geared for consumption of purchases rather than ever more capable Turing Complete general purpose computers. Ho Hum.

How well do these short cables meet your requirements? http://schiit.com/cart/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=0&products_id=12 (of course they don't say how long they are. Maybe they are intimidated?) blue jeans cables minimum length seems to be 1 foot.

The Image search term you are looking for is "reflectoporn" ... or not.

That was then, but this is now ...

When you can't legally vote (as a non-citizen) they tend to not call you in the first place (assuming their databases are accurate)

Another good bacon day. This is habit forming. P.S. Ken, it saves on the washing up

http://www.whatdoestheinternetthink.net/bacon Obviously.

That way it qualifies as a "healthy" breakfast

Et Voilà!

And so it begins ...

OK, Here's the plan.

Great, then you won't have to share your Bacon / Whiskey. Win / Win. Apart from the cavity search.

So what happens when you shout "Zombies!" Problem solved?

^Coming from someone who's daily ride actually has FLIR, and Hellfire missiles, thats high praise.

Got some Niman Ranch Bacon from Costco, So I'll have to try that for an Eggs'N'Bacon breakfast this weekend. Oh yeah, WANT!

Since it's Halloween, We had to dress up at the office. And I got to hang with my very own "Bond Girls". Its a tough job ...

In writing? EDIT: check ou the AVS forum http://www.avsforum.com/f/101/xm-and-sirius-satellite-radio for hints about how to get the reps / customer retention special offers. I played the "one time special offer" game for a while, then gave it up. they keep begging me to come back for $25 for six months - but I don't miss it now.

Indeed

Here's another clue

I think there are enough clues in this snapshot

Brent - Can we join your plan as "Family" members?

Shelly - Nexus 4 for Sprint unlikely - This article explains why http://www.theverge.com/2012/10/29/3569688/why-nexus-4-does-not-have-4g-lte Roaming Data In Europe varies (it's a competitive, somewhat regulated market that varies by location, Europe is not one country ). Speaking from personal experience, in the UK you could get PAYG (Pay as you go - thats prepaid to you US folks) , One month unlimited HSPA+ with "Three" for 15GBP= 25USD( at current FX rates) Other carriers charge more .. But in general, local data is cheaper than US roaming data - e.g. Some US friends of ours were complaining that AT&T had billed them for $60 for the previous days data in France - good job it was a business expense. Unfortunately you need to do research, and think and stuff, if you want to avoid throwing money at your carrier in order to avoid having to think If you are visiting somewhere, ask the locals what they use, in advance. If they are thrifty, you're likely to get good advice.
