'Fifty Shades' Porn Parody Countersuit Claims Books Are In Public Domain -- (link) - Todd Manning Mar 4, 13:45 1

st poll: if you could ban one food/item and one appetizer from being served in any restaurant, what would they be? - tRuMaN Mar 4, 13:31 8
- This is tough, because most food can be good and it's the cooking that's the problem. But Taco Bell tacos and the Blooming Onion. -- nm - Roger More Mar 4, 13:47

Catching up...I believe I went to Ikea once. Daughter needed a rug for her college apartment. They're a little out of my regular shopping circuit. - Meg Mar 4, 13:16 4
- thanks :((((((((((((( -- nm - Native American weavers Mar 4, 13:30 1
  - Keep in mind we were paying for a college education...I didn't have any old burlap sacks around or she could have had those ;) -- nm - Meg Mar 4, 13:35

  - No, they are the epitome of college student furniture -- nm - con_carne Mar 4, 13:25
I'm reading about a possible Apple iWatch. Bendable screen that wraps round your wrist. Supplemental charging via kinetic energy. Receive texts and - Loyola Mar 4, 13:15 17
- not for that limited of functionality. add voice and web browsing capability and maybe. -- nm - znufrii Mar 4, 13:39
- probably not, but I don't know until I see it. -- nm - Don Homer Mar 4, 13:24
- No. Why bother? It duplicates the functionality on my phone with no added benefit. - TWuG Mar 4, 13:17 14
  - it's wearable instead of hand-held. -- nm - znufrii Mar 4, 13:33 2
    - But all it does is text and email. You still need to carry a phone, which also texts and emails. - TWuG Mar 4, 13:38 1
      - once they get the interface worked out, how hard do you think it would be to add those, though? -- nm - znufrii Mar 4, 13:39
  - I just want a watch with pedometer GPS thing in it. that's all I need. -- nm - amanda Mar 4, 13:31 1
    - Like this? -- (link) - pmb Mar 4, 13:47
  - People said the same thing about the iPad vs iTouch (remember iTouch?) -- nm - con_carne Mar 4, 13:24 1
    - itouch is smaller. ipad is douchey on the bus. -- nm - amanda Mar 4, 13:30
  - The same argument could be made for pocket watches when wrist watches first came out. -- nm - Loyola Mar 4, 13:21 6
    - No. The wrist watch had improved functionality. It didn't require a pocket, a chain, or a fob. - TWuG Mar 4, 13:23 5
      - ditto for a wearable interface versus hand-held. -- nm - znufrii Mar 4, 13:34
      - They both told time. Nothing more, nothing less. -- nm - Loyola Mar 4, 13:25 3
        
        Well, if you're going to didmiss the entire reason that pocket watches lost out to wrist watches, I guess there's no point in having the discussion. - TWuG Mar 4, 13:29 2
        
        That's my point when I use the analogy of the changeover from pocket watches to wrist watches. Convenience triumphed. So when you say why would you - Loyola Mar 4, 13:40
        
        Isn't this the same logic you began with? A watch goes with your wrist....a phone needs to go in a pocket. - Will Hunting Mar 4, 13:39
Artificial sweeteners: I believe xylitol and stevia are still on the 'safe/non-toxic' list, but I don't see any drinks made with them yet. -- nm - Dr.Vermin is waiting semi-patiently Mar 4, 13:10 20
- Sobe Lifewater has been using it for years - SG3 Mar 4, 13:17
- I can't stand the taste of stevia. -- nm - loosilu Mar 4, 13:13 1

        They are pretty good. -- nm - Spawn Mar 4, 13:17
- I was just looking at one yesterday... Diet Mt. Dew. DMD has xylitol. -- nm - Max Mar 4, 13:10 6
  - Huh. Well, that will be quite the irony if Mt.Dew ends up putting out the healthiest soft drink available. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Mar 4, 13:16 4
    - So now we live in a world where "least toxic" means the same thing as "healthiest"? ;-) -- nm - Beryllium Mar 4, 13:18 3
      - Reminds me of this -- (link) - TWuG Mar 4, 13:21
      - In the context of soft drinks, yeah. I don't expect anything to be proactively 'healthy'. - Dr.Vermin Mar 4, 13:20
      - heh. -- nm - znufrii Mar 4, 13:18
  - lol, but mountain dew has that flame retardant chemical in it! nm -- nm - groiny Mar 4, 13:11

- there's a glut of squeeky voiced songstresses lately -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 4, 13:14
- She bought an island and retired. -- nm - Spawn Mar 4, 13:13
- Feist? All I know is I watched her perform that song (brilliantly) on Sesame Street about a thousand times. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Mar 4, 13:11 1

Mid Atlantic snow storm starting to look like it could be pretty big... -- (link) - Don Homer Mar 4, 13:06 18
- So DC to Atlantic City is going to get 10-20 inches of snow? That cake map is full of crap. -- nm - Max Mar 4, 13:15 2
  - from what I'm reading, not all areas on the map will get snow, but will be just rain or a mix. -- nm - Don Homer Mar 4, 13:16 1
    - aww, crap. -- nm - Max Mar 4, 13:17

    - Blizsterity -- nm - con_carne Mar 4, 13:16
- are there any comments/info on it being unusual for so many big winter storms this year? -- nm - peglegpete Mar 4, 13:12 1
  - I think this is normal and the last 5-6 years have been light. -- nm - Epiphany Mar 4, 13:19
- If it stays on track I think this is the 3rd storm this year that passes south of us (Philly) where we will get next to nothing -- nm - decline Mar 4, 13:09 2
  - *sigh* -- nm - znufrii Mar 4, 13:14
  - it seems like it will also hit se pa, but you may be more on the outskirts. -- nm - Don Homer Mar 4, 13:13
- i have been actively avoiding our weather forecasts because i am just so over winter, but you made me look. - Andie Mar 4, 13:09
- they just bumped our forecast to about 8-12 inches over the next 24 hours. -- nm - groiny Mar 4, 13:08
