It's the US; it can't go five minutes without a witch hunt.
In a few weeks, some other arbitrary people-grouping will be blamed for all the world's ills, and devs will be off the hook (until it's their turn again)

Where can I start a petition for Whedon to drop it and get back to making Firefly?

I like SHIELD but Whedon should drop everything to start Firefly again.

Agents of SHIELD is waste of time, and the worse part is they have successfully managed to kill the charm of Agent Coulson. 
Firefly was a great series. Since it is not possible to bring it back, have you seen the Cowboy Bebop[^] manga series. Even Whedon says he has never seen the series (even that cool falling while suiting up of Ironman in The Avengers is from Appleseed[^]). Firefly looks inspired by that series.

Microsoft is offering Visual Studio 2013 for $99 to those who bought Visual Studio 2012 at retail. Except, when you go to the order page it states "One per order, one per customer". Does that mean my organization can only order one such upgrade? Anyone try to upgrade multiple copies in separate orders yet?

Thanks for alerting us to the $99 upgrade price. I'm glad they're giving us a break.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

Cool! Is this their way of apologizing for how 2012 turned out?

Can it come preinstalled with Windows 7?

TWO HOURS? 
Two frickin' hours?
And that's what the manufacturers claim - so start actually doing something useful with it on the train and that's what? 20 minutes? FFS!
I can see it being handy, but only if you really don't have to do much (and it'll probably annoy the heck out of Apple)

I think it should come with that doodleoodloodle sound for the battery life. It starts playing as soon as you unplug it so you can watch the battery empty.

Well, it's not as if playing the sound continuously is going to affect the battery life much!
Might knock thirty seconds off, but so what?

I can see that as being phenomenally useful. I think I'd rather have android at the mo, but I could live with it.

2 hours of battery?? What did they do?? Take the battery out of a cell phone?? They couldn't make a battery that frickin' big?? It should have a battery life of about a week at that size!

Nice tablet! Didn't see a camera as an option, I'm glad people that take pictures with their tablets look like idiots.

Courtesy of a legacy system that encrypted passwords (since retired) at CMU, scientists were able to compare the relative strength of peoples passwords[^] by major. CS Students, followed by other scientists, and engineers picked the strongest passwords. Business majors picked the weakest.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Anyone else had the latest Android keyboard update pushed out to your tablet yet?
I already hate it: all the punctuation has moved, and I can't find anything... why aren't ' and " and - on the main page anymore?
What happened to shift and punctuation? Gah!

Yeah, I absolutely hate it. Worse, the update added a redundant shortcut bar at the bottom of my screen, neither of which can be removed. Execution also appears more jumpy.
I tried to roll it back, ended up doing a factory reset and losing all of my data, and in the end was forced to reinstall the new OS and learn to live with it. I was NOT a happy camper.
