• Glenn Fleishman:
    I guess I wanted to state explicitly why it?s absurd in case any of you were suckered into thinking coverage = payoffs.

If anyone ever starts offering payola, I’m getting in line. Either that or the International Zionist dividend is my 401(K).

  • Dan Frakes:
    PR Tip: Just because you put “Mac Gems” in the subject line of your PR pitch, that doesn’t mean data centers and IaaS are Mac Gems fodder.

However, it *does* give you the Kryptonian rage you need to create a diamond from a lump of coal.

  • Glenn Fleishman:
    In Belgium, NYT says, ?Doctors and hospitals must provide estimates.? Orthopedists ?only? earth $443K/year, half that of Americans.
  • Jane McGonigal:
    wow that’s a good income…. Yeeeps
  • Glenn Fleishman:
    I weep for the poor Belgians, unable to buy 3rd houses.

What’s worse, they have excellent beer to console themselves.

  • Glenn Fleishman:
    The New Disruptors podcasts are now under BY-NC-ND Creative Commons license for easier sharing.

What about people not from North Carolina, North Dakota, or Byzantium?

  • Glenn Fleishman:
    They have to pay through the NOSE-NC-BY-AT

  • Jesse Spector:
    Ten times that many will say they were there for history. RT : 36,282 got to see the Rangers score tonight.

Philly statistic from the 1980s: every time a SEPTA bus crashed, 80 people filed affidavits saying they were on it.

  • Dan Moren:
    Incontrovertible proof that I once had a full, luxurious head of hair. Also, laser backgrounds are the best.
  • Merry Christa Mrgan:
    Re: photo on the right: nice, but I think you look better without the hair! Dead serious. Flaunt it!
  • Dan Moren:
    It?s weird, because I think my own mental picture of myself (residual self-image, ? la The Matrix) still has hair.
  • Merry Christa Mrgan:
    Ha! Embrace it. Also, I think my residual self-image is a chubby me in 7th grade dressed like Garth from Wayne’s World.

Most men I’ve polled have RS images from their mid-20s. Curious if women have the same “pick the best” process.

  • Merry Christa Mrgan:
    Oh, god, I hope not. If the way I see myself is in fact the best of my possible selves, I’m in trouble!

  • Melody Joy Kramer:
    People with the best jobs: oral space historians. Space oral historians? Bah. People who ask astronauts about their time in space. Them.

In space, no one can hear Studs Terkel scream.

  • Josh Centers:
    Just got a box of Tonx and my Chromecast in the mail. Merry early Christmas to me!

Set aside the Tonx-0 screwdriver, you’ll need it to take apart your Powenbook.

Phone autocorrected Franklin Institute to Freaking Institute, proving that it is well acquainted with Ben Franklin.

  • Marshall Clow:
    Nah, it’s just that Apple holds grudges for a long, long time.

You’d think they’d like the guy who discovered electricity.

  • Marshall Clow:
    Yeah, but they hate the company that made Apple // clones.

OH! Nice one. I should’ve caught that, but missed it.

  • Peter Cohen:
    iOS 7 beta 4 is out and no sign of a new Mavericks build. This never would have happened when Steve Jobs was in charge.

Hook up iOS 7b4 to automatic blow-up doll inflator, set to “medium high”, wait 5 minutes, install as Mavericks.
