Technology catch-all thread
QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Apr 13, 2012 -> 06:32 PM) That's the whole reason. Facebook's interface for uploading photos on mobile devices was clunky and not as easy to use as Instagram. So instead of trying to create an ALTERNATIVE to Instagram, they just straight up bought them so they wouldn't have to put in the time and money to develop one, and then try and win the market over. They just simply BOUGHT the market. So I totally understand why they would buy it, but the pricetag of $1B boggles my mind. I would be surprised if the little startup company who made an app wouldn't have just sold it to FB for like.....$10M? Maybe not even that. I mean, the company is 9 people. NINE!! They made an app that is not even anything new or different. I can't believe the price tag was so high. 1B is a lot of money to put into something, but you're right.

Rondo was actually hitting jumpers against the Heat the other night. If he keeps that up, that makes Boston very dangerous and I would have to start respecting him as a player.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Apr 11, 2012 -> 03:15 PM) The Justified season finale airs and you girls are talking about The Biggest Loser. As Wynn Duffy yelled, "Jesus Christ!" I found cheap copies of Season 1 and 2 online so should catch up soon when they come.

2012 TV Thread
QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 11, 2012 -> 03:14 PM) Is there a stat for how many people go on that show and gain it all back? It easy to lose weight in an environment like a camp away from your family and whatnot, its another thing to go back to reality where you have to get your ass to a gym, shop for yourself and deal with enablers all around you. I think a couple have gained massive amounts back. I'm assuming most put some back on. Only natural.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 11, 2012 -> 12:23 PM) They walk off the show? Well good luck with your fatness and early death. They have all lost massive amounts thus far and have the knowledge to go on their own probably. I'm curious why they walk off. Saw the pilot for "B in Apr 23" online. It has it's moments. I'll watch to see where it goes. The girl that was on Breaking Bad is pretty good but Van Der Beek is pretty stale.

When you show up for 10am apt at 945, and doctor doesn't see you until after noon, that apt should be on the house. Just sayin.

I wouldn't be too excited about Kendrick Nunn. Injuries and not really all that consistent.
