Wow... Re: Not Everything Is Sexual
Wow, I’m really amazed, seriously, at the level of civil discussion and discourse going on around my post from last night. Lot’s of people extrapolated this to male/female dynamics in pop culture, which I hoped people would do. Many people are talking deeper about friendship and love. I’m impressed.
Only two people have ignorantly called me a homophobe instead of understanding...

Apple’s Response on Its Tax Practices -... →
chartier:
Apple not only responded to the New York Times on the (admittedly ridiculous) taxes story, but supplied it with a four-paragraph statement to be printed in full.
I love Tim Cook’s Apple.
This is pitch perfect from Cook and something I think Jobs wouldn’t have necessarily done.
While I think Apple should pay more taxes I do not fault them for taking advantage of these...

Me: you're never been to a bar where a girl got drunk and took off her top?
Jen: No. I have standards.
Me: You don't know how to have a good time.
Jen: You're only as good as the company you keep.
Me: That kinda company is completely disposable. I have no intention of 'keeping' any of it.

leftish:
VIA OurFuture.org
Here are eight of the biggest myths that are out there:
1) President Obama tripled the deficit. Reality: Bush’s last budget had a $1.416 trillion deficit. Obama’s first budgetreduced that to $1.29 trillion.
2) President Obama raised taxes, which hurt the economy. Reality: Obama cut taxes. 40% of the “stimulus” was wasted on tax cuts which only create debt, which is...
The 4 inch iPhone 5 | The Verge Forums →
bigweek:

Could Apple change the aspect ratio to increase the screen size while maintaining the same 326 ppi? What aspect ratio would need to be to hit that 4 inch mark? And most importantly how could app fragmentation be...
