i want to mortally wound those who were shooting fireworks off until 12:30am. thanks for depriving me of sleep jackasses.

Ric Bucher was just saying on ESPN that he thinks it'll be nearly impossible for the Nets to trade for HOward now. He still thinks at SOME POINT he'll end up there, but very unlikely this season.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 2, 2012 -> 05:17 PM) Cap. I cant imagine Joe Johnson, Dwill, Dwight, plus Gerald Wallace's shiny new contract will be something any team can afford I was thinking that too

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 30, 2012 -> 05:22 PM) This is a good thing. Taj is a very good player. better than our starting PF....

QUOTE (knightni @ Jun 30, 2012 -> 10:43 PM) Dwight Howard's demanding a trade - to Brooklyn - again. I'm shocked! I was convinced he was committed to Orlando

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jun 29, 2012 -> 09:52 AM) I'll be honest, if they have those guys (and they are healthy), that team is still a 7th or 8th seed in the east. Actually, I think they'd still be 5 or higher.

QUOTE (Rex Kicka** @ Jun 28, 2012 -> 05:05 PM) At least 17 people on Twitter decided to escape Obamacare "socialism," they will be moving to Canada. Which has socialized medicine. http://www.buzzfeed.com/daves4/people-movi...se-of-obamacare This was my favorite tweet of the day:

Forgive me, I am neither a legal or health care expert: could this ruling pave the way to a potential single payer system in the future?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 28, 2012 -> 09:25 AM) Think of it as: 1. A tax of $700 or so applied to everyone. 2. Minimum requirements applied to insurance plans 3. A tax rebate of $700 or so given to anyone who purchases an insurance plan that meets the standards in 2. You can still choose not to purchase insurance, but you will pay a small additional tax that reflects the mandate penalty/fact that you're able to receive health care anyway/fact that if you get sick you can go and buy insurance at that time. This is for people who dont get insurance thought an employer, correct?

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jun 28, 2012 -> 09:24 AM) Yes, that's what the law's always been. It was a huge semantic quibble over whether it was a "fine" or a "tax." The word "mandate" is not anywhere in the bill. ok, thanks

Ok, so let me get this clear. People are not REQUIRED to buy insurance, but if you do not, you'll be taxed and you still wont have insurance, correct? Just understanding the semantics.

CNN just reported the mandate was ruled unconstitutional

In early august, I need to buy a new phone since I recently smashed mine (I am currently using a flip phone). I am debating between the Galaxy Nexus and the Galaxy S3. I am on T-Mobile and I'll have to pay full price. The Galaxy S3 would be a down payment ($275 i think) and the rest spread out over 20 months. ANy thoughts? I think the Nexus might be best since it's only $350 plus tax while the S3 will be full price over the course of 20 months. Also, the Nexus is pure Google and more likely to get upgraded more often.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 27, 2012 -> 02:07 PM) Let's face it, the NCAA does have experience with "Selection committees". And even though every year some teams have their bubbles burst, it works out ok, and what people wind up remembering are the games. I can't imagine they'd pick a 1 loss team that lost its conference champion over an undefeated. In my opinion. having a committee that "snubs" team number #70 in the RPI is very different from a group picking ONLY 4 teams to play for the title. I say we reduce the NCCA basketball tournament to just the top 4 teams.

If you missed the Google Glass demo at Google IO, you missed one of the coolest things ever.

I'd love the Nexus Q... if I could use it at access the 100+ movies I have stored locally that I cant upload to Google to stream BACK to my Q.

I have always said I dont have an issue with the BCS if it was used to pick teams for a playoff. So, I see no need for a committee. and, I'd prefer 8 teams. But I know that is unlikely.

The Nexus Q??

A playoff system is on it's way... and I already dont like it. Sorry, 4 teams decided by a committee doesnt sit right with me. BCS Presidential Oversight Committee approves four-team playoff

Rumor is that Google MIGHT be handling system software updates from now on (taking it away from the manufacturers/networks). However, the leaked information might just be referring to the Google Nexus table that will be revealed soon.

Pretty much official now: @bradfo Clubhouse source says Youkilis traded to White Sox. Nameplate is gone
