  Radium suppositories

  I watched the Super Bowl halftime show and I am pretty sure that glow was not natural.

• On the post: As Predicted: iPad Magazine Subscriber Numbers Plummeting

  

  DaveTechDirt03 ( profile ), 30 Dec, 2010 @ 01:20pm

  Price

  They priced the iPad magazines at the same price as buying at a newsstand.
  Wrong!
  You have to price it LESS than the subscription price.
  And, not the list price for subscription, but the lowest price.
  
  For example: Time.
  I pay 26 cents/issue to have the paper version delivered to my mailbox.
  So, I am not likely to pay MORE to get it on my iPad.

• On the post: DailyDirt: Peak Coal And Other Energy-Related Stories

  

  DaveTechDirt03 ( profile ), 20 Dec, 2010 @ 07:04pm

  The chart is bullshit

  It supposedly shows what the sources of energy will be in the future.
  It presumes that there is a shift away from coal to other sources.
  It has nothing to do with "peak" coal (which is all about supply and not usage).

  I have never seen a business with this low a rating on Yelp and spend way too much time on Yelp.

  Those newspapers are just embarrassed about

  1. All the birth announcements where the parents are brother and sister.
  2. All the wedding announcements where the bride and groom are first cousins.

  They did not help MY personal computer

  I called them and installed LogMeIn Rescue so the tech could look at my machine.
  He then told me that I could upgrade the processor on my machine when I told him that I wanted a faster machine.
  Wrong!
  It is an iMac and the CPU is soldered to the logic board.
  
  By the way. They install the Rescue.app in a non-normal location that took me over an hour to find. Bastards.

  The problem is the INcorrect treatment of the numbers

  Currency amounts are not decimal fractions, they are integers.
  The solution is treat them as integers -- with a pseudo-decimal point displayed.

• On the post: Pork Board Admits It Knows Unicorns Don't Exist, But Claims It Doesn't Matter

  

  DaveTechDirt03 ( profile ), 25 Jun, 2010 @ 08:55am

  Can you prove that Unicorns don't exist?

  Maybe they do and that means that the Pork Board must defend its trademark: the not new white meat.
