Full article link: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,23977...gle+Feedfetcher I dont know if the details of the 18-month update agreement were ever made public. It MIGHT only apply to devices that came with 3.0 or 4.0. Not sure. The agreement might not apply to devices with older OSes.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Dec 15, 2011 -> 01:56 PM) For Sam's sake, the list he'd better have is not the one of his customers but of some big-time suppliers. Somebody is doing a bunch of years for those drugs, and the more years he can pin on bigger fish, the fewer he gets himself. but he's more likely to get wacked

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Dec 15, 2011 -> 11:23 AM) It's called being a reporter. Reporters get the full story, or at least they TRY to. Not one part of it. Cowley looks for those who fit the narrative he wants to push. he couldnt get at least one or two pitchers who LIKE Coop?

Here's the problem with Cowley's reporting. He takes a few disgruntled people and uses their thoughts to advance the narrative he wants to tell. So, because there a few people who dont like Coop, therefore everyone hates him and all he was doing is protecting his ass. You could take this model and apply it to any work environment in the country. there are ALWAYS people who dislike their boss. I know in my particular situation, if you interviewed me and one of my co-workers, you'd think my boss was a lying back stabbing bafoon. If you interviewed others, they'd say they love the man and he's a great guy. Which is the truth? If Cowley disliked my boss, he'd only use me and my co-worker as his sources.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 15, 2011 -> 08:43 AM) The insinuation is that the parrot is the Trib writer of course. That is interesting because apparently that means Joe doesn't repeat what people tell him when he writes, which means he is also admitting his makes s*** up. No, what he was saying is that the Trib just publishes whatever they are told to report, but Joe actually "digs" and gets to the truth.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Dec 14, 2011 -> 06:15 PM) Looks like Peavy and Ozzie need to mend some fences. Joe is wrong again.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Dec 14, 2011 -> 06:36 PM) How long before Gordon is a FA and his best friend Rose can snag him? Restricted FA in 2012

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Dec 14, 2011 -> 05:44 PM) Good post above with that "article". One edit though, Hakeem was magnificent, but the only reason he won those titles was Jordan in retirement. 8-peat my friend!

McNeil had a nice jab at Cowley: "He's usually busy covering the Miami Marlins for the Chicago Sun Times..." McNeil & Spiegel are trying to get Coop or Peavy on.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 13, 2011 -> 07:30 PM) Google's response to Siri may be available next year. It is supposedly codenamed "Majel". I approve of the name. I would swoon if they could find a way to synthesize her voice (aka the Star Trek computer voice)

Excellent take on the story by Matt Spiegel...

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Dec 13, 2011 -> 10:38 AM) http://deadspin.com/5867633/sanduskys-lawy...-phone-sex-line There is actually a recording of the site. Hilarious. OMG! These guys are completely inept.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Dec 13, 2011 -> 10:31 AM) LOL, Sandusky's lawyer spoke out and said if you believe McQ you need to call 1-800-reality. Turns out that number is actually a gay sex line. No freaking way, are you being serious?

I love physics and quantum theory and all this stuff about the higgs boson particle, but man does it make my head hurt.

WTF is wrong with Stern? Seriously? Maybe my whole "he's screwing the team over to fold them" theory is right.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 12, 2011 -> 01:37 PM) Enjoying a kid who is going to have autism? Damn dude. I'm not enjoying the fact he has autism. It's actually sad. I know a few people who have it. It's the situation that they tried so hard to avoid it by avoiding vaccinations that's ironic.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Dec 12, 2011 -> 08:49 AM) Dick, horrible person, asshole... any of these would be fitting. ok, just checking. thanks.

QUOTE (Tex @ Dec 12, 2011 -> 05:54 AM) I wonder what kind of a reception Tebow would be receiving if he wasn't a Christian. I am trying to think of an athlete in my time that so many people want to see fail. I honestly believe that if Tebow wasnt so out spoken he'd be reported as just a lucky below average QB. But because of his polarizing nature, he's a miracle worker. So many of these "miracles" had very little to do with Tebow. The Broncos won yesterday in spite of him, not because of him. If Barber stays in bounds, Tebows miracle run is over.

I have two friends (married to each other) who have a son and daughter. They refuse to vaccinate their kids because they are convinced it causes autism. Well, they just found out Friday that their son most likely has autism (or is at a high risk of developing it). Autism is no laughing matter, but they are now scrambling to find a "cause". It must be the milk... or the gluten. Maybe he needs more vitamins. Am I a dick for finding this even a little funny? I enjoy the irony.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Dec 11, 2011 -> 10:38 AM) I realize that but I read something not long ago that mentioned that this sort of thing can no longer occur. Maybe I'm mistaken. There have been a lot of talk recently about some states splitting (California, parts of Oregon and Washington). It can be done, but I dot remember the process.

I'd do it... Bulls Get: Dwight Howard Hedo Türkoğlu Magic Get: Joakim Noah Luol Deng Omer Asik Bobcats' 2012 first-round pick (various protections of this pick) Another 1st Round Pick Between Rose, Howard, And Boozer we'd have something like 70pts a game. Add in Rip and Türkoğlu and now we're talking... PG: Derrick Rose SG: Rip Hamilton SF: Hedo Türkoğlu PF: Carlos Boozer C: Dwight Howard
