I plan on using it for my kids whenever I decide they are old enough for phones. But I haven't set it up on my wife and our phone.

I am super wound up. My wife went to the homecoming game for her former High School. We live behind the school football field, so she walked. This was part of her 20-year reunion. A little after 10 PM I noticed that the game was over and the crowds were gone, so I sent gave her a call to make sure she was alright. Nobody picked up. So I texted, then I called over and over again for awhile. Finally after about 30 minutes without a response I got dressed and drove over to the school. There was nobody around. I then called her mom, and asked our neighbor if he had seen her, since he went to school with her. They hadn't seen her. So at this point I am pretty freaked out. I knew that most likely she had gone out with the alumni for a drink, but she wasn't answering and I had no idea where. I thought maybe her phone died. I had no contact info for any of the people she was with. I was pacing and hoping for a call, it had been over an hour. I went on facebook and looked for alumni stuff to see if an after party was planned. I sent a facebook message to the person in charge of the alumni page. Finally I rifled through her stuff and found her tablet. Then I checked facebook again with her account logged in, and I found a post by one of the alumnis saying many of them were at a specific bar. I called the bar, gave them my wife's info, and sure enough she is there. Her phone wasn't even dead! It was just loud at the bar. She said she just got carried away and forgot to text. We've been together for 12 years and I don't think that has ever happened before. I'm extremely relieved she is fine, but I'm also super pissed. I'm all hyped up and I really need to go to bed.

You must not have a daughter She was featured on the CNN Student News I show my students the other day. The students were extremely impressed to hear she has degrees from Yale and Brown, and taught at Harvard and Berkeley. Basically it is nice to have some female role models that aren't Miley Cyrus. That being said, she should only get the job if she is highly qualified, and considering she has been the Vice Chair for years, she is definitely that. But really there is nothing she has stated that says it will be different under her than it was under Bernanke. Her only platform is job creation, and she is smart enough to know printing money won't magically create jobs.

I made some rottini pasta with a homemade sauce. For the sauce I just threw in some light butter, olive oil, a bunch of garlic, some lemon juice, and some pepper. It came out light but gave a nice flavor to the whole wheat pasta. I put some green beans on the side.

I don't buy it. Jim Rickards makes some very good points about the Fed, but I just don't see Yellen being different than Bernanke at all. In fact she has a better economics background than him. The idea that she will just flip on the printing presses full time has little evidence to support it.

I just don't get a single one of your examples though. Avatar won awards, was well reviewed, and appealed to a broad audience. The Da Vinci Code is easy to read, stirred up interesting theological discussions, and appealed to a broad audience. The Big Bang Theory...it's a show about a theoretical physicist that manages to appeal to a broad audience, what the heck are you looking for? Even the original Call of Duty was extremely well done, and CoD4 completely changed the way we played online shooters. They seem to only lack an appeal to you. It doesn't seem a bit arrogant to write them as and terrible because they don't appeal to you?

My 6-year old daughter is totally into Lord of the Rings Online. It started with her just playing my character and running around the rather peaceful towns, but now she has created her own hunter and is fighting off bears. It's awesome to watch. She can't read most of the stuff, but she picks up the buttons quickly enough.

The common denominator in those 4 things is that they are popular. I guess if something is popular it is automatically made by a team of incompetents? I clearly need to become more incompetent so I can start releasing blockbusters.

Finally finished classic campaign.Here's the stat page: http://imgur.com/a/SF7TC Wow, you got a lot of satellites up, that takes some patience!

That sounds ridiculous. Fallout 3 was incredibly successful. You could totally argue that they are both not reboots because they don't follow the same gameplay style, look, and feel of the original franchises. But you sound silly when you call one of the most successful developers out there incompetent and bad at making games. Massive arrogance and stupidity does come to mind, but not for Bethesda.

Very exciting Enoch! This book got me through the first kid.

I doubt Xcom sold better than TR either, but the expectation were probably vastly different.

Thanks kgambit, I'm renting a beautiful house, so it's not too bad. Gorgon, location is a huge part of the value. I work in Cupertino, which has some of the best schools in California, as well as being the home of Apple. People pay a million dollars to live in modest homes here, and the property values never dropped like they did everywhere else. Houses don't stay on the market longer than a week. It's a bit crazy.

In terms of the housing market, I was completely screwed by the bubble bursting. I ended up short selling my condo that had lost 75% of it's value and I'm nowhere near being able to buy again, despite having a healthy income. But I see this as a result of the housing market being completely out of control before the collapse. Right now it is stable. It is slowly recovering. It will hopefully never get back to the high points it was at, because that was an illusion. I imagine it will take a full generation for the housing market to really recover across the country. People have messed up credit, they have lost confidence in property values, etc.

I don't know, I'm not much of an economist. All I know is you guys keep posting lines that look like this: / It would be bad if the lines were like this: \ And it would be stagnant if they looked like this: - Maybe it is because where I live, housing prices are on the rise, inventory is moving at a fast rate, and all of the dotcoms that survived the bubble bursting are now stable. Also I'm stuck in a ton of traffic every day and the malls are a pain to go to.

The US Economy has been recovering quite well. That is happening in spite of a ridiculous government.

His mailbox is probably full. They are very small.

You've convinced me to sell, GD

Yeah I don't get it. It isn't a kickstarter, they've already got a playable alpha, and it is a relatively inexpensive game. People are so weird.

I must have missed the thread in C&C that was covered in pixelated blood and gore. I'd say the mods have been more than tolerant of this thread on a company affiliated forum.

The Republican party needs to put some gigantic distance between itself and the Tea Party movement. They can't win big elections with those people at the helm. It'd be like the Democrats putting PETA and Greenpeace in charge of their campaigns.

Well that looks fantastic. It reminds me of all the giant space stations I would build with legos as an adult, err, kid.

Or pirate. Huh?

The A's beat Verlander 1-0 as well, that guy is not getting any run support.

That's clearly the Bester rate, it shows up as $59.99 for me. You are looking at a gold edition with a bunch of DLC. I've never been a fan of that stuff unless it is a physical object myself, but people must pay for it.
