This really makes me want to just host a party like this, for no other reason than to hang out with great friends and be dumb.

Hehehe, this hits pretty close to home.

Unfortunately, though, I did not make even close to 200k. Engagement cancelled. Atleast I could return the ring.

I wonder what these people are like, in normal day to day life... What kind of personality is required to think "This is a great idea, how awesome, let's do it!"

Still haven't seen the episode, but when I read the book, I set it down after that scene and stared at a wall for a few minutes.

I could feel my heart rolling around in my stomach the whole time.

And I imagine it makes seamless connections FAR easier. I wonder how affordable it is. If they can figure out how to do it cheaply, it would seem to unlock a whole lot of great aesthetics options for furniture.

@15:50 you can watch her mentally categorize and dismiss Jim Norton as a sexist asshole.

Not sure I agree with everything said - but it was interesting regardless.

Wow. This looks spectacular.

The world is FAR more fascinating and awe inspiring without miracles.

Awesome

That article nailed it.

Tablets aren't about getting classic "office work" done. For powerpoint, spreadsheets and documents, you're always better off with a laptop. (Which is what the surface really is - it's more laptop than tablet)

The really clever "work" being done with tablets is in enabling people to do things they never could have done with a typical computer or laptop...

There's a very, VERY vocal minority who is going to buy the Microsoft tablets. Which is fine... But I'll keep my iPad, thanks.

SO AWESOME.

But $1500 is a bit rich for me.

hahahaha

Awesome trolling

What an asshole.

Hope the kissing dude didn't get hurt/cut
