Really, guys? Are you actually comparing Steve Jobs to Prometheus? And your dominant metaphor is not technological innovation, but cancer surgery? Repeat after me: *facepalm*.
Twitter-loathing aside, this is intriguing and fascinating, though I'm still not... entirely sure about it, other than as a spectator.
Singing began in fish, perfected by birds - now there's a headline you don't see every day.
This link came up in my Gmail sponsored ads in relation to something about Band of Brothers, which is really amusing in its own right, but then the article is really, really cool. I didn't realize pterosaurs came that big.
indy_go and I tried to go out to the movies last night, but given that, at a balmy 29F, it was a full thirty degrees warmer than it has been all this week, everyone in Chicago was out at the talkies, so everything we tried to get to was sold out.
The Bush Verdict Is In -- and if you didn't already think it was damning:He took the nation to a war of choice under false pretenses -- and left troops in harm's way on two fields of battle. He embraced torture as an interrogation tactic and turned the world's champion of human dignity into an outlaw nation and international pariah. He watched with detachment as a major American city went under water. He was ostensibly at the helm as the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression took hold. He went from being the most popular to the most disappointing president, having squandered a unique opportunity to unite the country and even the world behind a shared agenda after Sept. 11. He set a new precedent for avoiding the general public in favor of screened audiences and seemed to occupy an alternate reality. He took his own political party from seeming permanent majority status to where it is today. And he deliberately politicized the federal government, circumvented the traditional policymaking process, ignored expert advice and suppressed dissent, leaving behind a broken government.
No, I honestly cannot let the door smack him on the ass enough on his way out, why do you ask?
