Aaron Swartz keynote - "How we stopped SOPA" at F2C:Freedom to Connect 2012, Washington DC on May 21 2012.

Damn. Just saw this news blurb this afternoon when I woke up....http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/brooklyn/reddit_co_founder_commits_suicide_AZPHGFSHzBRrOHbx2yGM9O

R.I.P. Aaron Swartz

I've decided that these guys are not so nice ... ["Too bad Aaron does NOT have a permit"] REALLY??? Fuck you

You can also buy these same products from Crazy Aaron's Puttyworld: http://www.puttyworld.com/
The prices appear to be the same at either site, but Puttyworld has a larger selection.

At first, I thought that Aaron Paul "disappears" into his role as Jesse Pinkman, but then when the actor opened his mouth, I got the feeling that Aaron is Jesse, and isn't doing much 'disappearing' at all...

It would have been nice to see Esposito get it.

I agree with you. Unfair though it may be, overactors generally get more awards than underactors. An understated, nuanced performance like Esposito's is harder to judge than a more flamboyent role where it's easier to see the "acting". This applies to the oscars too. There are exceptions of course, like Kevin Costner (underactor) winning over Bill Paxton (overactor), but in general it's true.

This show is so good. If you're not watching it yet you should be

This.


The only problems I have with this show are 1) Aaron Sorkin's juvenile interpretation of adult romantic relationships and 2) the cutesy way he makes his characters talk. If I could alter those two elements of the Newsroom, it might be perfect.

Tipping is technically optional (some places add it for large groups). Why don't you move to Australia where tipping isn't practiced? What you fail to realize is that some people make BELOW minimum wage and are expected to make up the difference in tips. I once had a job that payed 4$ under minimum wage legally.

I think tipping is such bullshit. I don't give a fuck what you earn. if your job doesn't pay you enough that you have to effectively rely on charity then get another fucking job. Nobody tips the mcdonalds or burger king staff.

Why the hell should I have to pay over the odds for what was already a grossly overpriced meal? I don't earn a huge amount myself and the cultural pressure to tip makes me bloody angry. If anything a tip should be for exceptional service. A flat rate on top just means your prices are higher. Why not raise your prices and pay your fucking staff a decent wage?


That's cute. They work nowhere near as hard as a waitress or bartender. Fairly obvious that you're a disgruntled worker at Burger King who's mad about their situation. Thank you, come again...

Waitresses never tip the kitchen.

My first job ever was as a busboy/dishwasher at a French restaurant. Waiters and waitresses all tipped the kitchen. Not a lot, but an extra ten, fifteen bucks a night was pretty awesome when I was 15.


I worked as a busboy at a casino buffet for a short time in between jobs (worst job ever btw). I guess because it was a buffet or a casino or both, but the waitresses had to pool tips and share a percentage with the other staff. Waitresses there also made minimum wage like everyone else, unlike at restaurants that pay lower wages to waitresses.

Agree about raising prices and paying staff a decent wage. However, don't blame the server, blame the system. Minimum wage in Kentucky (Burger King) is $7.25. Minimum Wage for TIPPED staff is $2.13.

I'm not an American so I only presume I'm reading that right. So McDonalds staff might work as hard (or harder), but it's not for just as little.

You have been awarded 1 Power Point for fixing the embed code for Dead Pool video Aaron Brooks' amazing Alley-oop in NBA Playoffs. Thank you for helping maintain VideoSift's reliability.

One of the great show openers I've ever seen.

Man, I wish NBC had more patience with this show.

Only one year is a shame for an Aaron Sorkin show.
