The BP Control Room photoshop wasn't a big deal, IMO. This, though, is a more egregious use - TWuG Jul 21, 17:39 4
- That's....so ridiculous it's actually kind of funny. - Stephen (Status Seeker) Jul 21, 17:50 3
  - I'm so glad I didn't buy BP stock, even when it went below 30. The profits would make me feel dirty. -- nm - ceregon Jul 21, 18:00 2
    - i admit, had i had more disposable income, i was really considering it. -- nm - TFox Jul 21, 18:03

  - more, from "brand week" - those numbers were for the 52 wk pd ending june 13. - b. Jul 21, 17:29 7
    - It's the short term thinking of the internet. Like the 3D thing, it's the blind leading the blind in terms of analysis. - David Jul 21, 17:34 6
      - I'm irked that some of the stories are from big name pubs. I did better research in a few minutes than they bothered to do. -- nm - b. Jul 21, 17:37 2
        
        Yup and then people like pixie blindly regurgitate them. It's a fascinating iteration of the internet. -- nm - David Jul 21, 17:42 1

        millions of eyeballs. period. -- nm - chuckles Jul 21, 17:37

        it'll be enough that you choke away another chance to get to the World Series, especially the first year that the NL wins home field advantage -- nm - chuckles Jul 21, 17:29 1
        
        That's it. Keep building up that Pixie Karma! - David Jul 21, 17:32

  - Too late I am wearing navy blue. -- nm - I'm Bacon Jul 21, 17:09 1
    - navy blue is ok. she was listing what you shouldn't wear - they don't present well on camera. -- nm - b. Jul 21, 17:11
  - good advice! also, take the apple off your head. -- nm - b. Jul 21, 17:08
  - I swear I was planning on doing a ST shoutout because I am going to post the story here. But your shirt was too bright :( - I'm Bacon Jul 21, 17:08 1
    - dontacha hate it when the interviewee's tshirt is smarter than the interviewee? -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 21, 18:17

- but, is it what it is? -- nm - TFox Jul 21, 16:59
- my mother never has her cellphone on, except when she makes a call. this continually perplexes the whole family - peglegpete Jul 21, 16:58
- i doubt my dad would even know how to text a single character -- nm - chuckles Jul 21, 16:50 1
  - My mother texts 99% of the time. She will send a text, I will call her back *immediately*, she will not answer but will text back. (grr...) -- nm - kelly Jul 21, 16:50
- Rub some dirt on it slugger. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 21, 16:48 3

Stitcher is awesome if only for getting me around the paywall to get The Bugle again. -- (link) - Reagen Jul 21, 16:45
Some genius took M Night's Rotten Tomatoes' scores, put them on a graph, and wrote a blog about it. Not me! -- (link) - Mop (217 lbs) Jul 21, 16:41 1
- So 1 out of 5 reviewers are complete morons. That's impressive. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 21, 17:13
Bakery! -- nm - nubby Jul 21, 16:38
"Apple has displaced Oracle as the company with the most security vulnerabilities in its software" -- (link) - Mop (217 lbs) Jul 21, 16:38 1
- Some people say anti-virus software will fix the problem. Fine. F*ck you all. Free anti-virus software for everyone. -- nm - Steve Jobs Jul 21, 16:46
get sorkin for last minute reshoots! Facebook's attorneys "unsure" whether Zuckerberg signed away 84% of the company to Paul Ceglia -- (link) - chuckles Jul 21, 16:35 2
- Zuckerberg needs a better lawyer. -- nm - Mop (217 lbs) Jul 21, 16:45 1

If you're keeping score at home, LSU, Alabama, and now Georgia are all under investigation by the NCAA. - David Jul 21, 16:34 5

  - maybe vandy can win a conference championship by default. -- nm - TFox Jul 21, 16:54
Saw a really nice LG LCD/HDTV at Future Shop. 32" Resolution is 1366 x 768. Thoughts appreciated.... -- (link) - Beaker Jul 21, 16:30 14
- 720p. You'll regret not getting a 1080p even if you don't ever see the resolution. -- nm - Mop (217 lbs) Jul 21, 16:31 13
  - the dude at the store said below 40" you can't see the difference.... -- nm - Beaker Jul 21, 16:37 11
    - it's fairly noticeable on my 32" -- nm - mafic Jul 21, 16:48
    - FWIW, I've found I can but I have 20/10 vision. If you play videogames, I think it's a significant difference. - David Jul 21, 16:42 7
      - it'll be a TV for the bedroom so no games and won't get a whole lot of use really... -- nm - Beaker Jul 21, 16:44 5
        
        Do you watch a lot of tv in the bedroom? -- nm - David Jul 21, 16:46 4
        
        not really, my wife maybe an hour or two in the evening...it'll blow the doors off the 25 year old 19 incher we have right now I figure :) -- nm - Beaker Jul 21, 16:47 3
        
        This is very true and I can relate because we ditched a 24" tube tv for ours. - David Jul 21, 16:57 2
        
        Upon reflection, I'd probably rule the Toshiba out. 12.5k contrast is awful. And I note that this is not the Sony we liked. It's only 720p as well. -- nm - David Jul 21, 16:59 1
        
        (but no matter what you get, it'll be night and day better than a tube tv) -- nm - David Jul 21, 17:07
      - in truth, it's 2.25 times the number of pixels. -- nm - Reagen Jul 21, 16:44
    - thats true, mostly. -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 21, 16:40
    - This is absolutely true. But it's very psychological. "Oh, 720p? You couldn't afford a 1080p, 'eh?" - Mop (217 lbs) Jul 21, 16:39
  - I agree with this. As an fyi, we got a 32" at Best Buy last week. It's 1080p and it cost $499. - David Jul 21, 16:36
byby $995. i will miss you. -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 21, 16:26 1
- sorry, I meant $955 -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 21, 16:27
"Breitbart is the conservative Dan Rather, but there will be no discredit, no resignation for him." -- (link) - Mop (217 lbs) Jul 21, 16:23 12
- maybe obama can invite him and sherrod to the white house for a beer -- nm - chuckles Jul 21, 16:33
- aside from Dan Rather actually having a history of journalistic excellence beforehand, sure. -- nm - Reagen Jul 21, 16:26
- I think the larger message of this 'scandal' will become more apparent soon. - Dr.Vermin Jul 21, 16:26 9
  - of course, the NAACP didn't call the Tea Party a racist movement. - Reagen Jul 21, 16:30 8
    - �It's racism at its finest hour, and if Barack Obama wasn't the president of these United States, the Tea Party would be mum." - Dr.Vermin Jul 21, 16:37 5
      - the lasting method of the Sherrod thing is that Breitbart's a crooked amoral douche. -- nm - mafic Jul 21, 16:50 2
        
        if he told me the sun was shining, I'd want to find a window. -- nm - Reagen Jul 21, 16:53
        
        he'd have to work real hard to get up to amoral - chuckles Jul 21, 16:52
      - is that what the official resolution said, or one local president trying to get publicity. - tRuMaN Jul 21, 16:42
      - I love that you think you're showing me something here. -- nm - Reagen Jul 21, 16:41
    - Credit to the Tea Party for acting on this, too. -- nm - Mop (217 lbs) Jul 21, 16:31 1
      - absolutely. -- nm - Reagen Jul 21, 16:33
Netflix beat expectatins and is down 11 after hours trading, this is why I stay away from stocks! -- nm - Gwaahjo Jul 21, 16:21 1
- Revenue didn't rise as fast as projected - thus the drop -- nm - decline Jul 21, 16:44
Cheryl Cole rocks!!! -- nm - David Jul 21, 16:21 1
- Diet Cheryl Coke tastes pretty good, too. -- nm - Mop (217 lbs) Jul 21, 16:23
Gotta say, Bery's one lucky SOB to be living anywhere near Lisa Bettany. I bet he's sexy just by association. -- nm - Mop (217 lbs) Jul 21, 16:20
wtf. i have to now give 3 references to enroll for the CPA exam? - tRuMaN Jul 21, 16:17 10
- My nephew is taking the second part of the test tomorrow. -- nm - David Jul 21, 16:36 1
  - good luck to him. -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 21, 16:43
- i have a reference for supervisor, and employer. - tRuMaN Jul 21, 16:23 3
  - Oh! OH! ME! ME! ME!! -- nm - Mop (217 lbs) Jul 21, 16:27 1
    - no. only because you begged though. - tRuMaN Jul 21, 16:35
  - Crash is on notice now. - tRuMaN Jul 21, 16:24
- I'll do it! -- nm - Mop (217 lbs) Jul 21, 16:20 3
  - "well, he does have this issues with monkeys, and he plays halo really well, but he is mean, oh and i think he doesnt like bacon" -- nm - mop si Jul 21, 16:21 2
    - What'd you say his name was? No, sorry, never heard of him. -- nm - Mop (217 lbs) Jul 21, 16:22 1
      - yeah, that would more than likely be the correct answer. -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 21, 16:23
Bery, I use the PS3 for Blu ray and streaming and love it. had zero problems -- nm - Remlik Jul 21, 16:16 4
- Ditto. - Stephen (Status Seeker) Jul 21, 16:22 1
  - hopefully next year. - tRuMaN Jul 21, 16:40
- Sounds like something worth getting, then. I wonder if Shaun's ebgames deal is still around? -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Jul 21, 16:19 1
  - plus, replacing thedrive is easy peasy. I got a 40gb one originally and upgraded it to 500gb in about an hour -- nm - decline Jul 21, 16:47
Google Images now has the infinite scroll like Bing. -- nm - Mop (217 lbs) Jul 21, 16:14 3
- Plus the preview is so much better. No more *framing*! -- nm - Mop (217 lbs) Jul 21, 16:19
- Saw that today. Me likey, so far. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jul 21, 16:16
