$349.95? They better be the best damn headphone made! - Outsanity via Bookmarklet

They are from Monster Cable. They have a built in screw you factor in the price. - Eric @ CS Techcast

But there are lots of headphones in the 500 -2000 range so 350 is really not that high - Brian Sullivan

"A 20-year-old model was photographed as if she were 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, and 60 years old. She kind of looks like Cindy McCain as she gets older." http://missatlaplaya.blogspot.... - Live4Soccer via Bookmarklet

I have the Think Tank belt system and I really like it. I'm looking at getting a backpack from them as well but I haven't yet. Haven't decided yet: Backpack, or roller-case? - Brian Johns

I like backbacks or waist packs -- allows you to carry it and roll another suitcase - Brian Sullivan

Fun part: under the terms of the narcotics contract (and I'm probably the only patient who cares), I'm not allowed to get prescriptions for pain meds from any other doctor. So I'll probably get through the weekend on Advil, Aleve, and Tylenol. - Ladybug Heather

Yup, Rochelle - I'm going to have the oral surgeon call over there tomorrow. (They're good at returning patient calls... within 48 hours.) - Ladybug Heather

Liberal doses of Scotch. - Ian May

I'm not swimming in Merlot!!! - Fleagle

"Instead of taking the private jet from Detroit to Washington, he’d take an all-electric or hybrid Cadillac Escalade and get it pimped out with a sound system and some 25″ rims, then carpool with the CEOs from Chrysler and Ford. It would become a pseudo-political campaign, making stops in cities and towns with parties every night." - Matt Pfefferle via Bookmarklet

6500... then a wild uptick to 14,000. Then hyper-inflation. - Mark VandenBerg

Ah, didn't think about the hyper-inflation scenario. That is scary. - Jared B. Luther

Cost of Iraq war + cost of bailouts + tax cuts/no tax increases + ... = worthless currency. Unfortunately I think the point of no return is passed. - Brian Sullivan

In this topsy turvy world we live in, this is how people see things. I still consider Facebook a startup. - Bwana

"Jenson Button says the new generation Formula 1 cars tried out at Barcelona this week are much more enjoyable to drive than their predecessors." - Scott from Canada via Bookmarklet

Hah so every year will now be Button's year (now that Coulthard is gone)? - Brian Sullivan

I still think those front-wings gonna give problems e.g. at the start, hitting curbs. Glad slicks are back though, those grooves didn’t look right. Does this mean we get to see white sides next year to indicate what tires are under the car? - Remo

"Buying an Apple computer? Get ready to throw away your monitor, over and over again. New Apple hardware is shipping with "HDCP" anti-copying technology that prevents showing some video on "non-compliant" monitors. Best part: the list of "compliant" monitors will change over time: the monitor you buy today can be "revoked" tomorrow and stop working." - RAPatton

Matt, Linux is more ready than you might think. - Kevin Cearns

The problem isn't necessarily the hardware, but the stupid DRM embedded in the video content purchased through iTunes. And it could be addressed by Apple (if they wanted to) by issuing a firmware patch. Or they could do away with DRM for videos, which, unfortunately, they're not likely to do. - Raoul Pop

"They found a 750-millilitre jar around his penis and noted that Weatherley attempted to continue "pleasuring himself in between bouts of wrestling". A search of his car uncovered pornography, a home-made sex aid, women's stockings and a Jack Russell terrier." - Roger Benningfield via Bookmarklet

"..... and a Jack Russell terrier." And this is relevant exactly HOW? Wait, on second thought - I don't WANT to know! - Ladybug Heather

Brian & Heather: The more I think about what he was doing in that car, the less I want to know. - Roger Benningfield

so sweet! :) - Anna Haro

I had a puppy named Muffin too when I was little. What's funny is I always called her Muff for short. Too bad my parents never told me not to...they must've thought that it was super funny! - Amber Horner

cuteness overload - Miranda

"Sometimes you toss out an idea at a meeting as a joke or because you think it sounds clever at the time. Then you have to write a story. At yesterday's editorial meeting for Las Vegas Weekly, I suggested, somewhat facetiously, that we do a story on how the federal government should come in as the cavalry to bail out Las Vegas' casino companies. After all, I argued, aren't union jobs at stake? And doesn't the entire Las Vegas (and Nevada) economy depend on the resorts as surely as Detroit does the auto industry? The ripple effect of the casinos' financial problems could be staggering. They already are if you are one of the many locals among the layoffs done by every resort company in town." - Abby Martin via Bookmarklet

This compact 35mm camera was one of the most technically advanced gadgets of 1930s. It was produced by Swiss watch and clock manufacturer, also famous for its long-time partnership with luxury car makers.

Canon rebate coming or in hand? - Brian Sullivan via Bookmarklet

Ouch. Bad timing too. - Justin Korn

I honestly didn't even realize that it looked different. - Mathew Ballard

Is it possible to create and submit your own theme ? - Mo Kargas

Creating one is certainly possible, there are several Firefox extensions and Greasemonkey scripts that do just that. Submitting it... maybe... iirc three of the new themes were created by third parties, not by Google, but I don't think I've ever seen any info on how/where to submit one. - Ray Metzen

so excited already! :) More theme screenshots here: http://gmailblog.blogspot.com/... - Zee. Just Zee.

yeah, everyone seems to be going on about the ninja theme...but i just couldn't look at that every day. I need plain but classy... - Zee. Just Zee.

No Google love here, no Themes in the Settings tab after Tasks for me :( - Sally Church

How can she not be "fazed" when your major source of income produces a product that competes with your major product. She is either lying or very dumb - Brian Sullivan

she's playing it cool - Justin Korn

Innovation by definition requires good ideas *and* implementation. One without the other is a big fail. - Brian Sullivan

Brian, I understand your logic. Implementers often don't need to bring new ideas to make inovator's ideas real. Sure, they have a lot of merit, but often they use "techniques" to implement ideas. Now, inventing a new technique to ease the implementation *is* innovation. - directeur via NoiseRiver

Alex, your classification sounds in fact good! There's also "integrators". I do agree! - directeur via NoiseRiver
