I had an Android phone. I hated the user experience. So, I got an iPhone. I now love my phone. I'm an American, but that doesn't really play into it. I consider Google an American company also.

Not that I've seen. They went from the "the Columbine kids played Doom which is why they killed those people" more recently to "Guns kill people; We must get rid of guns", but even that is no longer in the news. The

While I agree with some of what you are saying and I don't join in hipster hate, I think this is the main thing: Any self-righteous style that tries to come off as cool and aloof that seem ridiculous to others is going to be made fun o

I wouldn't rule that out. Why wouldn't it make a great undersea battery? Also, if we found Apollo 13 we could recover some Pu238: http://science.slashdot.org/story/11/11/28/1637231/will-nas

One of the things I read about high speed city to city travel is related to commuting, not just business travel. But yes, I was changing the subject to public transportation, which I think is a serious problem in the U.S.

Yes, and someone locally just got in a terrible accident on a scooter. Brain damaged for life and lucky he didn't die.

I can't believe I got downvoted for that. I'm just stating facts about public transportation, regardless of type.

We have two problems: 1. Forced activities (sports, music, dance, etc.) and having to drive and fly all over with kids for these activities. These activities do not let kids imagine or have long amounts of free-play, though the arts aren&#x

To provide the other side of that coin, I also think that some of what Fox News, the Tea Party, etc. push is bologna. Consider the conservative view that we need to secure our border because illegal immigrants take jobs away from American

I'd say most news media and many T.V. shows reinforce ideas that oppose accepting that there is an alternative viewpoint. Are you sure you haven't been brainwashed to hate Fox News and anything that shows a flag and an eagle with

The problem with surfing sites like HN, S.O. is that it is engaging . On one hand, if you can use the creative side of your brain, supposedly this will help you with other problems, but on the much worse side of things, you get pulled into
