    - bigger kennel cages ... I mean dorm rooms? -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 23, 12:23
  - It's not right, but that's not specific to Apple by any means. That's the game in the electronics world, and really many other industries too. - Don Homer Feb 23, 12:18 3
    - But Apple's the one who can best afford fixing it. -- nm - mara Feb 23, 12:19 2
      - we don't have enough skilled factory workers to handle the kind of volume and turnaround times for Apple's product design - pixitude Feb 23, 12:22 1
        
        There was a story on nightline about this last night. That is Apple's argument. It's not just skilled factory workers, it's also engineers. -- nm - pmb Feb 23, 12:27
- We can buy the world 10 times over. -- nm - Apple Feb 23, 12:15

I just got the strangest letter in the mail. I don't think the description can do it justice. - pmb Feb 23, 11:56 19

- is it possible that the attorney is trying to violate privilege just to get fired by the client? -- nm - Beryllium Feb 23, 12:14 2
  - That seems highly unlikely. He could just quit. If he did this he could get disbarred. This is actionable. -- nm - pmb Feb 23, 12:16 1

    - She is *so* going to sue his ass. -- nm - Mop (199 lbs) Feb 23, 12:04 2
      - I just googled the return address and I think it's the address for her divorce attorney. - pmb Feb 23, 12:06
      - Also, I admire his commitment to his anger and vengeance. -- nm - Mop (199 lbs) Feb 23, 12:05

      - Looks like it's headed to Detroit and then northern New England. -- nm - ty97 Feb 23, 12:10
      - no, don't think so. -- nm - Don Homer Feb 23, 12:09
    - here too. -- nm - Andie Feb 23, 11:59
- Not sure why you are complaining if "snow" was in the original forecast? I get much more annoyed by radical swings. - Spawn - The Blood Feud God Feb 23, 11:56 4
  - Rain/Snow means it's going to rain with some flakes mixed in, not half a foot of accumulation -- nm - ty97 Feb 23, 11:59 3
    - That is a simple jet stream fluctuation. -- nm - Spawn - The Blood Feud God Feb 23, 12:05 2
      - I'll fluctuate your jet. - ty97 Feb 23, 12:09 1

- LYC: The smaller room at the Egyptian is the Spielberg Theater :) -- nm - con_carne Feb 23, 11:57 2
  - I did not know this!....smaller room? another theater? -- nm - CrankYanker Feb 23, 11:58 1
    - Yep, still at the Egyptian in the same building -- nm - con_carne Feb 23, 12:12
- the venue, that is. -- nm - CrankYanker Feb 23, 11:49 3
  - Concsidering they SELL the naming rights we'd more likely end up with the Pia Zadora theatre -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 23, 11:51 2

Poll: you can *buy* tickets to any awards show. What show do you pick, and what is the most you would spend to be able to attend? - Andie Feb 23, 11:37 42
- I'd take Diva to the Tonys if she'd want to go. - Mel Profit Feb 23, 11:58
- Something with lots of music. Grammys or MTV Music. Do I want to hear someone make speeches or see top talent perform? -- nm - Mop (199 lbs) Feb 23, 11:57 4
  - You mean AVN, right? -- nm - Spawn - The Blood Feud God Feb 23, 11:58 3

      - I'd dress like it was a Gallagher show. -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 23, 12:00 1

  - "have I seen you on Big Bang Theory? No? Then you aren't a real scientist!" -- nm - Beaker Feb 23, 11:53
- Golden Globes and Grammys.......but I'm not paying anything more than $500 per ticket and I'm not sitting in the nose-bleed seats. -- nm - CrankYanker Feb 23, 11:45 6
  - globes serves dinner so it seems more social, its not like you socialize with folks in theatre seats...me, it would be fun to go to the Razzies - zeitgeist Feb 23, 11:48 5
    - yes, they are both more relaxed atmospheres.......the Grammys, veeeerrrrry reeeelaxxxxed. -- nm - CrankYanker Feb 23, 11:50 4
      - the combination of rap, country, and rock hurts something in my head that only starts with the ears -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 23, 11:53 1
        
        and yet the rappers fight each other. -- nm - CrankYanker Feb 23, 11:56
      - If you're lookign for something weird to happen, Grammys are your best bet. -- nm - loosilu Feb 23, 11:52 1

      - As I do not watch awards shows, exactly. -- nm - Spawn - The Blood Feud God Feb 23, 11:54
- I'd pay a lot to go to the Grammys. Not quite as much to go the oscars. I just think the oscar show sucks. Seeing the celebs would be fun, but - pmb Feb 23, 11:42 1
  - agreed. -- nm - TFox Feb 23, 11:44

- $0 -- nm - Spawn - The Blood Feud God Feb 23, 11:37
So Facebook is satying I can convert to Timeline if I want. I don't want. But they'll probably force me soon, so what should I look - TWuG Feb 23, 11:37 7
- Looks like stuff can be deleted, yeah. - con_carne Feb 23, 11:52
- Stuff can still be deleted when you're on Timeline. In fact, it's easier to look through your past to find stuff to delete. -- nm - ty97 Feb 23, 11:52
- I have no idea the new format confuses me - eag Feb 23, 11:41 4

Bain Capital Theater -- nm - con_carne Feb 23, 11:37 5

  - The Romney Center of Entertainment -- nm - Spawn - The Blood Feud God Feb 23, 11:38 2
    - Mid-broadcast it'd switch names. -- nm - TWuG Feb 23, 11:40 1

  - Human Centipede Theater -- nm - con_carne Feb 23, 11:38
If she did franchise out Potter I hope she would limit the book issuances. Seems like a new Star Wars novel hits every week - Beaker Feb 23, 11:36 6
- I continue to be inspired by IGN's April Fools "The Aurors" video. It doesn't have to feature Potter, but that world is so rich, it needs more. -- (link) - Mop (199 lbs) Feb 23, 12:17
- and don't discount the quality. Heir to the Empire is as good or better than the original Star Wars trilogy - Beaker Feb 23, 11:37 4
  - that the Admiral Thrawn book? A M A Z I N G -- nm - Jovian Feb 23, 11:38 3
    - I'll add my agreeance to this. -- nm - Mop (199 lbs) Feb 23, 12:41

    - yup -- nm - Beaker Feb 23, 11:38
