Okay, hideous marketing speak aside, these are actually pretty cool. I might have to get one.

Sucky database design. A mass export of the data could cause it to crash.

The idea of dropping prices to head off the p2p piracy market seems kinda flippant, but isn't so bad if ya think about it. Piracy wouldn't be around if the movie industry wasn't trying to keep such a large profit margin. The author is also right that Apple is in a pretty good spot to pull it off.

Great news article! We need to be informed of such important event!!
LONDON: Hollywood beauty Kiera Knightley may have gained a finely honed physique for her role as a warrior queen Guinevere, but apparently "lost" her breasts in the process.

"I went up a whole dress size and it was all muscle. But my breasts just disappeared," Ananova quoted the actress as saying.

Knightley, who plays Guinevere in the movie King Arthur , engaged in weightlifting, boxing, sword fighting, horse riding and took archery lessons to build her muscles.

Knightley has now stopped all workouts and has reportedly got her assets back.

"I've stopped working out since then and now they're back," she said.
yes, this is a links thread and the link was completely forgotten...

you don't need a link, all you need is right there 8) really that's all the text of the article.

Semi-boring link leading to a broader question. If you think a stock's price will go up, you buy shares of it. If you think a stock's price will go down, you can sell it short. If you think a stock's price will stay relatively flat, what do you do to make money off that guess?

Then you have to play the daily fluctuations. I knew a guy who I used to work with when I first got down here who had a system with oracle. He pretty much knew its weekly trading range (something like it goes up and down between 40 and 60). He would buy low and sell high repeatedly, over and over again, ad infinitum, ad nauseum, or I guess until he got burned a few times.

I think the price was too high for this question, but the response definitely earned the stated price.

options. if you charge say 5% for the option and the price didn't go up or down (depend on the type of option) more than 5% the person won't excerise the option and you just made 5%

some stats on cell phone etiquette.
While dining out, 34 percent place their phone on vibrate, 18 percent turn it off, 11 percent lower the ring volume and 9 percent place the phone on silent, but 28 percent make no changes, the survey said. And almost everyone (93 percent) agreed it is rude to take or make a call during a meeting.
I hate the 28 percent of people who do nothing while dining out. Also, 7% of people taking calls during meetings is a LOT of people being rude!
