    - Sorry, I already beat you to the trolling. -- (link) - spamlet Apr 23, 14:24 [Backboard]
    - from a customer's point of view, i'm willing to pay a little more for a better product -- nm - charlie Apr 23, 14:11 12
      - My issue remains (as far as price goes) that they charge a lot more for a product that is only marginally better. - pmb Apr 23, 14:18 3
        
        If I could put iOS on a Galaxy S3/S4, that would be perfect. -- nm - Shaun Apr 23, 14:25
        
        that's it for me, too. they are innovators and they do make quality products (itunes/sw aside), and I can see ease of use - b. Apr 23, 14:21 1
        
        But they're so *pretty*! -- nm - Dr.Vermin Apr 23, 14:23
      - I will disagree that it's better. My screen has a better picture than an ipad4, and i use it to consume media so picture is important. - Bacon Apr 23, 14:13 6

        Or every 10 years, whatever. -- nm - spamlet Apr 23, 14:24 1
        
        my adapter gripe: why couldn't they make USB work more easily, when everyone else could. - b. Apr 23, 14:27
      - Right. -- nm - Don Homer Apr 23, 14:12

- you're complaining about a nice media thing being mentioned too much, after a week filled with crappy, incl. bad media stuff? *forehead flick* ;p-- nm - b. Apr 23, 14:10 5
  - I think at best the story distracted people for a while by reviving the insane pizza rivalry from back east - con_carne Apr 23, 14:20 4
    - ah, I haven't seen any of that, fortunately. it's mostly silly. -- nm - b. Apr 23, 14:22 1
      - Well, Boston Globe is owned by the NY Times... -- nm - con_carne Apr 23, 14:23
    - it's a rivalry in the sense that Yankees-Mets is a rivalry - charlie Apr 23, 14:21 1
      - pizza ain't religion, it ain't worth killing someone for doing it wrong -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 23, 14:25

- "it took all night, but it was worth it." -- nm - Reagen Apr 23, 14:03
my takeaway from this story is that it's ridiculous for there to be a 26k bottle of scotch. -- (link) - Reagen Apr 23, 13:59 13
- znu: apparently it's that easy. take note. -- nm - Mel Profit Apr 23, 14:11 2

    - I recall LCBOs being like government offices...you placed your order at one window and picked it up at another. No actual product anywhere in sight :) - Meg Apr 23, 14:16 5
      - There were also stores called Consumers Distributing that sold consumer goods that way but they went under in the 90s -- nm - zork Apr 23, 14:21 3
        
        Oh right - we had those (or similar) down here, but they were more of a catalog store with instant delivery. Same concept though. -- nm - Meg Apr 23, 14:26 1
        
        yah, CD and Best. some showroom items, but mostly catalog. -- nm - b. Apr 23, 14:27
        
        and that's where we got our original wedding bands -- nm - zork Apr 23, 14:23
      - beer stores are still sort of like that. you can get the most common stuff off a chilled shelf, but most gets rolled out from the cold room out back. -- nm - Andie Apr 23, 14:19
    - it did say it ws 'covered in glass' but I'll bet it was a simple lock you could pick with any old luggage key or toothpick -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 23, 14:12 1
      - i would bet it wasn't even locked. they are big airy stores, with staff. that would get noticed. -- nm - Andie Apr 23, 14:18
