Generalizing aside, I have yet to meet a Brazilian woman with average sized thighs/calves. It’s as if they workout their legs from inside the womb.

Feature: Uncharted 3: the new standard for action... →
Playing Uncharted 3 is a bit like visiting your favorite restaurant to eat your favorite meal. Sure, you know how the food will taste before you even enter the dining room, but you’re still so happy to be there. I had a few small issue with the game’s story and eventual ending, but these were misgivings I had only after the game was over. While playing, I was too thrilled to do...

He pointed to a recent British study that looked at pregnant women who watched a particular television show. The results showed that babies born to those women who watched the show had a stronger preference for the program than...
Steve Jobs Was Willing To 'Rip Off' Everyone... →
This is coming from Steve Jobs, who was inspired by the graphical user interface he saw at Xerox PARC and turned that into the Macintosh. Now, as we’ve noted before, what Jobs was always great at doing wasn’t just taking an idea and copying it, but making it better. But, many would argue that’s the same thing that Google has done with Android. Yes, they clearly took inspiration...

Dish blogger Andrew Sullivan has come around to the ”goddamn hippies” at Occupy Wall Street. “Maybe it was seeing a more diverse crowd in D.C. than I expected, or absorbing online testimonies from 99%-ers, or reading yet another story about how corrupt the banking system has become (Citigroup was…

shortformblog:
Median household income in the nation’s capitol? $84,523 per year. That’s even higher than Silicon Valley, and more than $30,000 above the national median income. Consider that DC is an area of great income disparity, and the numbers seem even bigger.
Hot cakes!

I am part of the 99%, and 100% of me feels everyone is entitled to their voice, and that this country DOES NOT distribute wealth adequately(notice I didn’t say fairly), and that corporations AND...
