Um, if I wasn't clear.
I have apps. It’s magic. I need books. The Kindle store is not like Borders, where I can wander about.

Just—yes, just—realized that Kindle makes a lot more sense than lugging books on a plane.

After learning his 17-year-old daughter was dating a 57-year-old man, Helmut Seifert of Germany went to the man’s house with two friends and castrated him with a bread knife. “I saw it as my duty as a father,” says Seifert.

Dear Chrome
Maybe not so much with the “close tab” shortcut being RIGHT NEXT TO the “close window” shortcut? And “select all” also perilously close?
Thanks.

Disney removes the captions from Netflix version...
Hacking Netflix:
The Blu-ray version of Up has closed captions, but despite the movie information page description that says it has captions, I was able to confirm that captions have been removed from the Netflix rental DVD. Shame on Disney for removing captions and preventing the hearing-impaired from enjoying the movie!
Does anyone know how to make a post go viral?
My region. Computer is level.
People, I am not happy about this.
Oh my god
It keeps spitting my disc back out. Someone tell me why right now.

The policy has alarmed a Calgarian who volunteered to sift through a southeast warehouse full of unused, donated items and was alarmed when he was told by Salvation Army officials that the...
