    - I'm not a speed reader per se but I do read about two pages a minute. -- nm - David Jan 20, 11:39 4
      - They read faster than they look from the outside, thanks to their young adult-friendly font size and spacing. -- nm - TFox Jan 20, 11:51 3

        from my cold dead fingers. -- nm - TFox Jan 20, 11:53 1
        
        (and really, the hardcover set of The Hunger Games is a delight. perfectly sized books to hold and read.) -- nm - TFox Jan 20, 11:57
Kilbo, that's a nice tablet, a bit more than i'm looking to spend right now though. Bery, the one you linked looks cool, and is in my price range. - Stephen Jan 20, 11:30 11
- I was fascinated by this HP tablet printer at Best Buy yesterday. - David Jan 20, 11:35 3

- read some reviews of the Duo first before shelling out; I was disappointed by some of the observations. But then, I'm picky :) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 20, 11:31 5
  - I found those observations to be nitpicking. I love the Duo. My single complaint is battery life - which could be longer. -- nm - decline Jan 20, 11:43
  - Anything in particular that caught your attention? - Stephen Jan 20, 11:38 1
    - not that I recall, just that the bundled software is not great (but when has it ever been?) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 20, 11:52
  - Someone here has the Duo. Who is it? Also, Samsung is coming out with a micro-convertible like the Duo, too, the PC7. -- (link) - Mop (214 lbs) Jan 20, 11:33 1
    - Oh, that's nice, but probably going to be pricey. -- nm - Stephen Jan 20, 11:36
i think that Jesse James statement of 'best year of my life' is just totally jerk-ish. - Andie Jan 20, 11:29 22
- he's an ass, but to play devil's advocate, 10 years ago I might have said being married to Bullock would probably be nice. Last few years...I'd balk. - Max Jan 20, 11:34 8
  - She was looking for a bad boy. the reality doesn't match the fantasy. -- nm - jnine Jan 20, 12:05
  - I think she knew long before it was announced and it was kept secret during the Oscar campaign. - Dano Jan 20, 11:46
  - After the year she's been through I really can't fault her if she's not happy-happy-sunshine all the time. -- nm - Stephen Jan 20, 11:39
  - Maybe so, but you don't cheat on the woman, then say the year you got caught/cut loose is the best of your life. - Will Hunting Jan 20, 11:38 3
    - he's definitely the prick. but I'm just saying he might not be saying it for revenge, he might just be happier than he's been before. - Max Jan 20, 11:49 2
      - I'm not begrudging the guy his life or happiness...just don't say it - Will Hunting Jan 20, 11:51
      - i have no issue with his engagement, i have an issue with his choice of words. -- nm - Andie Jan 20, 11:50

- Not just Sandra, but his kids. -- nm - Amy Jan 20, 11:34 2
  - this -- nm - JenBro Jan 20, 11:41
  - good point. -- nm - Andie Jan 20, 11:37
- maybe he's such a loser that no matter how messed up it was, it actually was the best year of his life -- nm - dogbert Jan 20, 11:32 7
  - i'm sure he believes it. but he didn't have to issue a press statement saying that.. - Andie Jan 20, 11:34 6
    - I may not have been clear in my statement. I just meant he's a loser - dogbert Jan 20, 11:39 1
      - : ) -- nm - Andie Jan 20, 11:41
    - this and the IM - but I get a whacky needy vibe from Kat Von Dee - Epiphany Jan 20, 11:35 3
      - well he does have a type going from Tits Mcghee to Von Dee. -- nm - Remlik Jan 20, 11:51
      - He seems to bounce from a wonderful straight woman, to some whacked out nut job - zeitgeist Jan 20, 11:44 1
        
        Sandra is the odd one out though. He seems a far better match with the others. -- nm - Andie Jan 20, 11:49
- No, he's totally got it right, see? -- nm - Ashley Madison Jan 20, 11:30
- Yeah.....he's really missing the point. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 20, 11:30

White Collar premiere: solid B but i wish they would solve the damn music box once and for all and just get back to regular cases -- nm - wonderpixie Jan 20, 11:22 4
