  - [deleted] 3
    - Not a phone. It's like the iTouch but with 3G data -- nm - oblique Jan 27, 11:20 1
      - [deleted]
    - or look like they are shrinking -- nm - tik tok Jan 27, 11:20
- Pretty much. It does open the doors from some innovative software but as a whole, it's not terrible groundbreaking -- nm - oblique Jan 27, 11:17 5
  - I was at least hoping for usb connectivity. -- nm - mafic Jan 27, 11:18 4
    - [deleted]
    - It sync USB for iTunes/iBooks, etc. -- nm - oblique Jan 27, 11:18 2

lost in all the iPad talk is the great news that Oregon voters approved the tax hike on corporations. see, Obama? -- nm - tik tok Jan 27, 11:15 5
- So if Obama could just get everybody in America to think like they lived in Oregon..... - crash davis Jan 27, 11:18 2
  - /nods/ Yeah, I think his problem is that he assumes they do. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jan 27, 11:23

- Woo! What am I gonna do with my big raise? - Mop (226 lbs) Jan 27, 11:17

- get with it, dad...nm - x Jan 27, 11:15

Jax: if you get bored in the Lab, you could alternatively hit the GGT, especially if you need more Gnarled potions for once you can access the Lagoon. -- nm - TFox Jan 27, 11:14 3
- Hmm...I have 7 of the Gnarled potions. Is that not enough? - JaxSean Jan 27, 11:19 2
  - Yeah, but only at 6:1 once you hit GM. If you want to get everything in the Lagoon including the Harpy, you'll need more. -- nm - TFox Jan 27, 11:20
  - I think I needed more than that to get the hydra -- nm - decline Jan 27, 11:20
3G - Oh Steve, you cad! You had us going there. -- nm - Mop (226 lbs) Jan 27, 11:13 5
- would have been a real negative if it didn't, I guess $30 unlimited isn't bad. -- nm - Don Homer Jan 27, 11:15
- Oh, nevermind. AT&T. -- nm - Mop (226 lbs) Jan 27, 11:15 3
  - The bigger form factor probably means a bigger internal antenna so that's good for 3G users. -- nm - Mop (226 lbs) Jan 27, 11:18
  - wonder if that means that the iPhone isn't yet opening up to new companies. -- nm - Don Homer Jan 27, 11:16 1
    - "All the iPad 3G models are unlocked" -- nm - oblique Jan 27, 11:17
one more thing . . . -- nm - tik tok Jan 27, 11:13 1
- models with wifi, and models with 3g. -- nm - tRuMaN Jan 27, 11:14
$100 million used to be the barometer of success for films in the U.S. How many films crossed that mark in 2009? - Inigo Jan 27, 11:13 21
- (answer spoiler) - Inigo Jan 27, 11:21
- oh, it's been *years* since I bitched about how raw ticket sales should be the metric....nm - x Jan 27, 11:20 9
  - But the goal is to get the money you spent making the movie back plus some profit. -- nm - Dano Jan 27, 11:28 1
    - i only mean in the context of what is considered most successful at the box or as a way to look at things over a set of years.... - x Jan 27, 11:34
  - I think most box office analysts agree with you. - Inigo Jan 27, 11:24 5
    - It boils down to what you actually want to figure out. - Reagen Jan 27, 11:27 4
      - As a stat geek, I'd just like an apples to apples comparison. - Inigo Jan 27, 11:34
      - agreed. ancillaries are where it's at....nm - x Jan 27, 11:28 2
        
        Yeah, it'd be nice if they opened up about DVD rentals and sales. -- nm - Inigo Jan 27, 11:30 1
        
        or pay per view sales. or airline screenings. or toy sales. or cross promotional tie ins. or....nm - x Jan 27, 11:36
  - and don't think we haven't missed it -- nm - tik tok Jan 27, 11:22
- 33 -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 27, 11:20
- isn't it still? do you think the barometer is higher now?? -- nm - tik tok Jan 27, 11:17 2
  - Depends on the film's budget. Godzilla and Van Helsing are examples of flops that grossed over $100 million. -- nm - Inigo Jan 27, 11:20 1
    - Yeah, if it costs $200M to make, then $100M at the box office ain't too great. -- nm - Dano Jan 27, 11:21
- I looked back through the years on this and it's hilarious how few films end with final totals of 95-99 million. -- nm - Reagen Jan 27, 11:16 1
  - AFAIK, Hercules is the only film to end with $99 million. -- nm - Inigo Jan 27, 11:17
- 18 -- nm - Shaun Jan 27, 11:16
- 23 -- nm - Loyola Jan 27, 11:16
- 48? -- nm - Don Homer Jan 27, 11:13
- 31.250 -- nm - oblique Jan 27, 11:13
[deleted] 2
- No different than other macs, or any other app on the iphone. -- nm - Don Homer Jan 27, 11:13
- not only that...$10 each app -- nm - oblique Jan 27, 11:13
think different -- nm - tik tok Jan 27, 11:13 1
- Mapple. Think Differently. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 27, 11:13
Where's the surprise? -- nm - oblique Jan 27, 11:13 1
