QUOTE (StrangeSox @ May 24, 2011 -> 08:46 PM) bad comparison, an e-reader isn't a tablet and a tablet isn't an e-reader. Different markets for different purposes. I went with the nook because it allowed me to read open-source books, like stuff off of project gutenberg and borrowed library books. The Kindle doesn't (or at least didn't). But their "ereader" is a lot more expensive than the kindle, but they justify it with more features. "Editor's Choice" –CNET, 11/23/2010 Stunning full color touchscreen Enhanced books, magazines, newspapers, & interactive kids books Fun social features + surf the web NEW!

i don't get the nook for the price. It's like they are going halfway b/w kindel and ipad.

I don't, really. Last game a lot of things on paper were okay: james + wade in check, boozer scored, bogans with +6 pts, and we weren't even close to winning the game. We won't be able to overcome the heat if they get to the line 30+ times, and they weren't even driving and were getting that many calls. I don't think the bulls can overcome that.

yeah, fox gets such a bad wrap, don't they ss2k5?

QUOTE (Y2HH @ May 23, 2011 -> 07:48 PM) They weren't even a job search site until like 9 months ago. That is all. But it has value in job searching beside just looking for job openings.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ May 23, 2011 -> 06:41 PM) it's the last place I'd go. It's the last place you'd go? I know you climb hyperbole mountain all the time, but linked in was actually a great resource for job searching and people DO recruit from there.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ May 23, 2011 -> 03:52 PM) It's truly amazing how much travelling is allowed in the NBA. The Bulls do it sometimes too, but no one does it as much as LBJ & Wade. There was one play where James took a step, made a jump stop, landed on two feet, and then took two more steps towards the hoop. If that's not travelling , I don't know what is? that drove me nuts. and it lead to 2 pts!

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ May 23, 2011 -> 03:35 PM) I really just want a level playing field. That out of bounds call on Luol Deng was inexcusable. I just can't get over it. Also, on the news this morning they showed 5 baskets that LBJ scored on where he took FIVE STEPS! Five! It's just depressing... on a level playing field, the Bulls are up 2-1 at worst. Anyway, I hate being that guy, but it's f***ing true. I don't like being the blame the refs guy either, but this is the exact reason i did not want to play the heat. Every time the bulls started to make a run, and get a stop, then an offensive foul call would come against them, miami ball. Then shooting foul aginst the bulls, two free throws for miami. Rose has to get hacked on his hands on the shot, not on the drive, to get a foul called. It sucks, and it's hard to win with that s***.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ May 23, 2011 -> 02:19 PM) I don't know if it's overvalued or not, but LinkedIn has a very strong chance of becoming essentially Facebook for business, a market that Facebook will never be able to capture and a market that has no other competitors. 5 years ago if Facebook had gone public with a high price like this I'm sure your reaction would have been the same. Yeah, I think LinkedIn's opening was ridiculous, but there are many things different than the first tech bubble. First, that most of the big tech companies are profitable and have real business models, and are not just doing fundraising rounds and spending it as quick as they can. LinkedIn's b/c of their business angle has a lot of opportunity for profit growth. They are just tapping into that now. But they are a lot further along than twitter.

hahahahahahhahahah

QUOTE (Swingandalongonetoleft @ May 20, 2011 -> 04:07 PM) Why do so many athletes insist on doing this? I don't remember it ever ending well. chris webber was a pretty successful producer.

i suppose if you are going for 1 day you are correct. So clearly secondshare can be a good indicator for anyone looking to make a quick turn around on an IPO

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ May 20, 2011 -> 02:51 PM) I just kept watching that stock rise and rise on google finance, if I had paid attention enough to know it was going public I would've jumped on the wave early on. from what i read the first real purchase of it was at $83. Which at that point, I'm not sure i'd be confident I'd get a good return. But I DO think LinkedIn is a solid company, with real revenue and chance for growth.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 19, 2011 -> 05:38 PM) IN the first quarter especially. They were all open looks based on ball movement but the shots wouldnt fall. Right, but if you are keith bogans or kyle korver and you get a wide open 3 look, we need them to take those shots. Korver has to make an impact on offense to have any sort of value. He's driving me crazy with this cold streak.

Oh it's about Game Change. That should be interesting. That was a quick read.

Yeah, i'm sure the NBA would have a vested interest in keeping talent away from Blake Griffin. Gmab.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 18, 2011 -> 08:55 PM) He is a bad fit for that team. He would have been perfect in Chicago for the offense Thibs runs. Too bad he followed his ego. Right. It's more helpful to have a banger down low if wade/james can't penetrate. Instead they have bosh who likes to stay outside and hit jumpers. Which isn't terrible it's just not incredibly complementary to the other two, the way that Allen and Garnett were to pierce.

The s***ty thing about st. louis is their public transport sucks. The nice thing is cheap housing. Find a sublet, look around "the hill", and do some calculations.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 18, 2011 -> 06:35 PM) if you want to eliminate Rose you have to do two things. Trap him as soon as he crosses halfcourt, and beat him up. to the latter...only if he doesn't get fouls called when it happens.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 18, 2011 -> 06:27 PM) If there's one thing I expect to see from this team, it's "Not believing the hype". A Mr. Thibodeau sold me on that when his response to a question after Game 1 involved the phrase "Well we still have some things to tighten up". Thibs says that after every game.

well, that's what the sexual revolution was all about: raping children and ruining their lives, while hiding the perpetrators and protecting them from prosecution.

as long as rose does, as well (but frankly he has only gotten fair calls the first game of the pacers.)
