QUOTE (flippedoutpunk @ Oct 1, 2012 -> 04:43 PM) anyone try those new iphone 5 earbuds yet? do they make any kind of difference? I think significantly better but I don't know that I'd pay for them.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Sep 28, 2012 -> 04:37 PM) This is the reality for many Americans without health insurance: There's a combination of problems in that instance. I know nothing about California but I represented uninsured people for awhile and usually people simply didn't realize that hospitals routinely give free services or greatly reduced services to uninsured people who don't otherwise qualify for Medicaid. They also tend not to have transportation to the hospital. I'm not making a statement about universal health are. The fact is that most of those people could have seen a doctor and just didn't know it.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Sep 28, 2012 -> 09:20 AM) I'm 30, went to college from 2000-2004. I'll never forget my freshman year, my school (Illinois Wesleyan) had a bunch of T1 lines newly installed. Everyone and their mother was downloading everything possible on their computers. The good old days of Napster and Limewire. How I miss thee. I remember the same. Except we had rate limits so we just got up before class, started the download and it would be done eventually. It was still faster than dial up which was all I knew to that point.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Sep 24, 2012 -> 04:55 PM) Has anyone here interviewed with Google for a software developer position before? I'm intrigued at what kind of questions they ask (stupid brain teasers, or actual programming knowledge?). My understanding is that the brain teasers aren't allowed anymore. They have to ask more focused questions. I doubt that makes it any easier.

QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ Sep 21, 2012 -> 01:40 PM) Have never been in an accident. We will see if anything comes of it. If your worried the. Call them and make sure everything looks good

QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ Sep 21, 2012 -> 12:14 PM) Went to the DMV today to renew my license and the first lady said I had to take a written test. After I was done with her she said to head to the cashier and she would give me the test. The cashier had me pay and told me to go to the camera area. Got my picture taken and the license printed. No one gave me the test. Think this will come back to bite me? Why would you need a written test? Usually that's for people who haven't had a valid license for a while.

QUOTE (Iwritecode @ Sep 20, 2012 -> 10:30 AM) I hate to see when these kids grow up and realize that the rest of the world doesn't always conform to them and they have to deal with it. Not only is it happening but many companies are bowing to them because they have no choice. Here is an opinion from the Washington Post. And another from Forbes. When an entire generation of workers have certain expectations, it's hard not to comply. Sorry that was totally off topic, but I thought the articles were interesting.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 19, 2012 -> 09:10 PM) Me neither, De Aza's jump was awful He didn't know Beckham was going to 3rd until he was halfway there.

I don't think Hawk is watching the game...

Is Hawk dead? Sounds like they are down 10.

QUOTE (Cali @ Sep 18, 2012 -> 09:59 PM) Any update on Scherzer? Motown sports says MRI negative. He's getting a few days off.

Regardless of the final diagnosis on Scherzer, 7 innings of work from the pen tonight is tough.

Right shoulder fatigue for Scherzer. MRI tonight via Detroit broadcast.

Scherzer pulled after 2. No word on why.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Sep 17, 2012 -> 07:23 PM) Interviewing is so nuts. I have a 4.5 hour one this week meeting with multiple people, one over lunch. I know I can be abrasive sometimes, but I love you all. Throw some love my way, because this one would be awesome. 4.5 hours? That's brutal. How does one eat and interview, anyway? My wife had to do that to get her job but she's smart and graceful. I'm not so sure about you... Good luck!

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Sep 17, 2012 -> 04:01 PM) IMO, one is take home and do naughty things with hot (Upton), the other is take home to meet the parents and make babies with hot (Middleton). Both are amazing. I can't disagree there.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Sep 17, 2012 -> 04:30 PM) The Tigers have a nice schedule to close (6 against Minny, 7 against KC), but the Sox just have to go, say, 9-7 to close to put a ton of pressure on the Tigers. 9-7 by the Sox means the Tigers have to go a scorching 12-4 just to force a playoff. Barring a collapse, the Sox shouldn't need to do anything spectacular. More importantly the Tigers don't have the Sox to beat up on the rest of the way.

QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ Sep 17, 2012 -> 04:09 PM) Didn't look like Beckham was running hard to me. He was until he knew the throw wasn't coming home. What Wise did was incomprehensible. Even if Gordon gets the run, Wise was out by 15 feet.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Sep 17, 2012 -> 09:45 AM) Middleton > Upton I agree.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Sep 17, 2012 -> 03:49 PM) Infante's throw wasn't terrible - it was on line. But tubby couldn't handle the pick. Yeah, for as much love as Rios is getting, Fielder should have had it.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Sep 17, 2012 -> 10:42 AM) Yeah, I don't know that the prospect of arresting 30k teachers is a realistic one or the image that Emmanuel would want, but I think their union would be dissolved. Well the union wouldn't be dumb enough to advise teachers to defy the order regardless.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 17, 2012 -> 01:05 AM) If Rahm gets a court order and teachers still don't go to class, what would happen? Or would the teachers immediately head back to the classroom, scared to death of what they could lose if they get fired?? Defying a court order would get them arrested.

QUOTE (Brian @ Sep 16, 2012 -> 10:39 AM) Hope she is taking care of them or else they'll be down to her knees by the time shes 30. She will be irrelevant regardless.

I had a chance to pull off a miracle this week had it not been for f***ing Jason Hanson.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Sep 16, 2012 -> 07:10 PM) Why did Andre Johnson retire before todays game and no one told me? I had him and Marshall. 4.5 points. What a joke.
