I went to some frat party through friends of friends at Miami during my time at tOSU. It lived up to all stereotypes: hot girls, dbag guys, money everywhere. I think I have mentioned this before, but I’ll say it again — the urban legend was that the female dorms in Oxford had to get piping redone regularly because there was such a rampant bulima problem that the stomach acid at away at the pipes.

I would put up a bunch of links about how airlines are buying tens of thousands of iPads to replace flight books. But I’m lazy. Just google “United + iPads.” The iPad is being integrated heavily within the corporate structure, and have seen several restaurants move to iPad wine lists as well.

Speaking of party schools — the worst is when someone says something like “Playboy released there top 10 party schools but x school is not included because they don’t include professionals” — that always irked me. Then again, I remember seeing this on AIM regularly so that could cloud my judgement.

Re: Lo Wood
Does this mean Notre Dame wins 7 games instead of 8?
August 21st, 2012 at 9:12 AM
right now it’s an iPad world, all the other tablets are just living in it.
However, if the windows 8 tablets are any good, Apple’s dominance will start to slip.
There’s only so many iPads a company can continually purchase, system integration and future changes to the iOS could push companies to a standard like Windows 8.
that won’t hurt apple at all since they are a consumer company, not a commercial hardware company, and have no interest in catering to the commercial sector.

I think you’re going to start to see Android and Windows eat away at the iPad just like they did with the iPhone. Apple hasn’t come out with a new idea in years. The new iPad came with a better screen. That’s it. Even in the cult of Apple, people won’t continue to shell out $500 bucks a year for a marginally better product.
Even with Apple eventually getting into the game, I think you’re going to see a lot of people flocking to 7-inch tablets. Galaxy Nexus, Fire, Nook — these are all much more affordable and better for personal use than an iPad.
August 21st, 2012 at 9:19 AM
also, more companies are looking into “bring your own device”, the big problem there is security. Whatever platform answers that question while making it easy to integrate will get the “gold star” from the IT department
August 21st, 2012 at 9:19 AM
No disagreeing, but couldn’t the same be said for consumers and the iphone. But when the next one comes out with 2 upgrades that could have been made on the previous version the sheep will line up.

The same Windows 8 that everyone is claiming is an outright disaster and will be a bigger flop than Vista? Considering most corporations are just now rolling out Windows 7 (my company is still primarily on XP), I highly doubt any Windows 8 tablets will succeed. The iPad is like the iPod, anything else will struggle to get any marketshare or acceptance.
August 21st, 2012 at 9:20 AM
was there as well…one of my top 3 college events. I don’t think there was a sober student there that day
August 21st, 2012 at 9:21 AM
consumers are different, they don’t have to defend their budgetary spend to a CIO, CEO or CFO as to why they spent $250k last year for iPads and just spent another $250k this year for the new version.
August 21st, 2012 at 9:22 AM
Where are you seeing that Windows 8 is a disaster? Reviews have been outstanding, particularly for their Metro UI which is what will run on the tablets.
August 21st, 2012 at 9:23 AM
This is true.
August 21st, 2012 at 9:23 AM
All of this. The entire point of Windows 8 is for Microsoft to get into the tablet market. Lots of corporate enterprise shops are watching this one, knowing full well, they won’t be able to keep tablets out of the enterprise much longer.
Don’t underestimate the cult of Apple. Regardless of the utility of their products, people just simply like Apple and their brand.

there’s also a massive, massive push the tech companies with windows 8 tablets are making in the IT sector from the big tech resellers/partners.
Windows 8 on a laptop or desktop may not be great since, but on a tablet the windows platform could make it much easier for IT departments to integrate into their current environment without making many changes to what they are currently doing.

FWIW, my sister-in-law is exactly the consumer Apple targets; wealthy and devoted to Apple. But even she said that she’s considering the Google tablet because of the more portable size and the new iPad doesn’t justify the cost. However, she did readily acknowledge that if Apple comes out with a smaller iPad like rumored, she’d probably go that route.
August 21st, 2012 at 9:32 AM
Yeah, me too. Fragmentation across devices makes it really difficult for IT departments to achieve standardization. I’m always amazed Google doesn’t do more to rein that in. Then I see that they own 60 percent of the smartphone market and growing, and I shut up.

A lot of the dislike for Skylar White is because she’s been the closest person to Walt and been able to put him in some bad spots (ex. I.F.T.). Most of us like Walt, so we don’t like when someone effs with his shit.
Anna Gunn is a very good actress and has done a fine job playing the emotional ups and downs expected of any significant other in her situation.
If you hate Skylar White the same way you hate Lori Grimes or even Kate Austen, then you should probably stop watching TV.

Said this before, I’ll say it again — fuck Best Buy. They only survived this long by ripping off their customers left and right with $90 HDMI cables and $100 camera accessories. They didn’t innovate, failed to react quickly to e-commerce, and built their entire business around low-margin items like televisions that disappeared when the economy went off a cliff.

I know this has been touched on before, but in Season 1 (and in some episodes after that), Skyler and the other family members had a unique way of emasculating or underestimating Walt just enough such that you begin to sympathize more with Walt and less with….well….everyone else…Skyler, her sister, Hank, etc.

As someone who worked part-time sales in Best Buy’s home theater dept in 2005-06, I agree with all of this. The profit was made on accessories and service plans, which were certainly useful for anyone dropping $2-4K on a TV. But those TVs are less expensive now and made much better, so the service plans aren’t as useful. The accessories’ prices have dropped with the TV prices.

My parents were in the market for a TV a few years back. Went along parents to make sure they didn’t get ripped off. Guy tried telling them that they needed a $120 gold-plated HDMI cable to ensure a true 1080p signal. Told the guy to stop talking, called HHGregg right in front of him and asked if they’d price-match the model number. They said yes, we went across the street and bought it from them. I then drove back to Best Buy, found the salesman, showed him the receipt, and told him that his lie about the HDMI cable cost them the sale.
I know the guy was probably just regurgitating his training or too stupid to know how wrong he was, but I didn’t care.
Fuck Best Buy.

They can’t. Most e-commerce divisions require a much lower margin than brick and mortar retailers. Even ecomm divisions from the same parent company.

The fact that you had to go with your parents to make sure they didn’t get screwed isn’t helping this thesis. Most people are not tech savvy when buying anything electronics related.

August 21st, 2012 at 10:05 AM
i figured out early on in selling TV’s that you only attempt to sell that shit to the people who fit the bill, they typically don’t mention anything about finding a TV in a certain price range, they don’t have anything picked out before hand, and they don’t contradict you during your pitch.
in other words, suckers.
i did catch my store manager trying to sneak cables on an older couples order once, lost all respect for him at that point.

That and the economy’s slow climb which means disposable income has faded. It used to be I’d buy a DVD for $10 as opposed to just renting it for $6. Now, I pay the $1 Redbox fee. I’ve kept my old iPod and just back-up my iTunes account. If there’s a videogame I like, I’ll scour the interwebz for the cheapest price.
So since there’s little I need, I don’t go in there and browse. Extrapolate that to a few million guys and there you go.

Each year I’ve seen Segio at Firestone he’s always had nice interaction with the crowd. Had a kid come in the ropes and carry his putter down to the green on a par 3.
I also, think the classic style earphones > ear buds. Kind of an immersion measure.

No, they were wraparound, sort of like this.

that was a bad time. lesson learned. i did get some pain drops to put in my ear that felt like frozen goo was dripping into my ear canal so that was fun.

These earphones…. They are the earphones.

Does anyone know of good wireless headphones for working out
Still havent found any. I’ve got baby ears and nothing stays once the sweat starts rolling. Makes for boring runs.

I think I am attempting the golf THUR-FRI-SAT-SUN. It’s an elusive animal in the kingdom of being married w/ kids.
Just finished a Wednesday thru Monday run. Never thought I would say it was too much golf, but it was too much. Off til Saturday now. Club Championship this weekend.

How is catching someone a sign that the system doesn’t work? Melky is losing $2 million in salary due to his suspension, and likely lost out on a multi-year deal of around $8-10 million guaranteed. I need someone to explain to me what is wrong with the current system.

Why does everyone get arrested in Miami?

Thanks. Been hoping to engage in some of the golf talk around here, limited as it may be.
The weekend should be interesting, I won my flight last year, (First Flight; 6 -12 hcp) due to some decent play and some good fortune, See its a 2 day event, last year the second day was rain delayed to the following week and two of the top 5 had prior commitments. But I played well, shot 80-80. Which was the two best consecutive days I had last year. So I had that going for me. My handicap as of last update was my all time low (7.7) but since then have not been able to break 83. Cannot get off the tee. Very frustrating, so I am going to try a few days away to see if that helps. Sorry for the humblebrag.

No consistency….I hit a draw, usually. now I’m fading, duck hooks, blah blah. No confidence at address that I have any clue what the ball will do. Have tried adjusting grip, feet, slowwwwing down. I may hit a good one, yet I might hit shit. Definitely have a weight shift issue, as I can feel hips way out in front sometimes. Most of it is in my head, confidence shot. Thinking a little time away can’t hurt. Funny game, 78 on Saturday, thought I had it licked, followed with 86 Sunday and 88 Monday. Not licked.

well, id love to help you, but you literally just described my exact predicament and im searching for answers myself. my round saturday was like being in quicksand with that same thing.
SOMEONE HELP!!!
August 21st, 2012 at 12:25 PM
But you should see me at the range
Long and straight. …..Long walk from range to the first tee. All confidence literally disappears. But I love that damned game. Do you play at all during the week?
