jillzilla: In my social circles, this would lower rather than raise status
jillzilla: This is the equivalent of a zillion-dollar designer handbag -- the price has little to do with the function of the item and everything to do with showing off.
lemonodor: i don't think apple should have removed it

lemonodor: it sure works that way.
jillzilla: I agree with lemonodor

rik: "Hayes said his granddaughter worried he would break her rod. He landed the 21-pound fish on a 6-pound test line. It was 32 inches long, 2 inches longer than the rod."

Mutiny: WE DONT HAVE ANY WHITE TSHIRTS WE'RE FUCKED
Mutiny: Apparently being a journalist doesn't equip you with enough brains to not, you know, drive into an active firing warzone.
cryptomail: Well....I think you're "supposed to" like uh...have liasons with either or both sides, and they tell you where it's hot and you get to go with them
seti: Welcome to new journalism, quite unlike real journalism.
anomie: Sort of like gonzo journalism, only without the gonzo.
Mutiny: Come on! Hop in the range rover and follow the clicky report of automatic weapons fire! It'll be fine!
