Roundup: McKayla Maroney Acting, Tom Osborne Retired, Michael Jordan & Scottie Pippen Had a Dance-Off
Maria Menounos because she hasn’t done anything tangentially related to sports in a while … Princeton bookstore employee hires hooker off Craig’s List … breaking down November Rain … a show about Thomas Edison using his inventions to fight crime … someone shot a dolphin … Lil Wayne’s deposition video … 24yo Chinese pop star dating 12yo Canadian model … public research universities in trouble … the Soviet submariner who stopped World War III … University of California to pay $1 million to the people who got pepper sprayed … crazy man offers $65 million to anyone who can turn his daughter straight … wakeboarder’s finger found in a fish 2-months later … drunk man on horseback chase …

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a company shit on another as hard as Samsung is with Apple. Those commercials showing how much better the GSIII is than the iPhone 5 are brutal. The knocks on the culture, the technology, the cluelessness. I have an iPhone, and I still think it’s awesome.
September 27th, 2012 at 8:42 AM
i think it’s hilarious. My iPhone is a bit stale and i’m getting bored with it. I’ll never use android though, so i guess I’ll never know the apparent joys of the GS3

There’s a chance, albeit a small one. I’m still more worried about making the playoffs at all. Red Sox would love to end our season after what we did to them last year, and TB is going to be in a position to win the WC in that last series at the Trop.
Someone in here posted that BP has them at 91 percent chance of making the playoffs, but I’m much more skeptical.
September 27th, 2012 at 8:43 AM
The best part of buying new electronics is definitely the unboxing and the setup.
September 27th, 2012 at 8:46 AM
the set up, i agree with, the unboxing…i never got the appeal since the contents aren’t a surprise.

Saw Grizzly Bear last night at Massey, great show. One guy in the band played two different saxophones, bass guitar, flute, clarinet, while looping and singing in the same song. There was so many switches at his feet it was like watching a guy defuse bombs in rhythm. Oh yeah and mofucking Feist showed up.

I’m still more worried about making the playoffs at all. Red Sox would love to end our season after what we did to them last year, and TB is going to be in a position to win the WC in that last series at the Trop.
I am as pessimistic as they come but after watching the offense appear to right itself last night and the Sox throwing Cook/Doubront/Stewart this weekend, I gotta believe we’ll take 2 of 3 this weekend which should all but wrap up a playoff berth.
September 27th, 2012 at 8:48 AM
While I haven’t seen the GS3 in person, that large of a screen is a deal breaker for me. My buddy has some droid phone and the screen is huge, looks ridiculous in his hand when he has to use it. I’ve never held my iPhone and thought the screen needed to be much bigger.

Nino, I have a Nook Tablet and love it. Rooted it a while back to give it the full Android experience, but its still great. The screen on the Nook HD is seriously badass, it has HDMI out and still SD card upgradeable. I’ll probably get one as soon as someone figure out how to root it.

The better part is that when I asked my 13-yr old sister this weekend, all of her friends (appx. 50) have iPhones. But keep flogging away Samesung, convicted thieves.
September 27th, 2012 at 9:00 AM
I’ve given that show a chance probably 3 or 4 times, including last night and that clip above. it’s just not that funny.
September 27th, 2012 at 9:00 AM
I think the point is that Apple touts turn by turn navigation as some new feature that makes the iPhone 5 great. Yes, other apps in the iOS ecosystem have provided that service. But if you’re going to pretend that basic updates are revolutionary, it’s fair game for competitors to ding you on it, IMO.
September 27th, 2012 at 9:01 AM
at least Apple is making other companies work hard to have “slick” conference presentations these days.
but i wish it was as easy to convince people something was awesome the way apple does.
nothing was funnier than when the macbook pro retina was announced at work and the apple sales/dev team at work freaked out.

September 27th, 2012 at 9:01 AM
The iPhone 4 is our “current” company phone. When they gave it to me to replace my Android my biggest complaint was the lack of spoken turn-by-turn and the failure to include “voice to text” capabilities.
September 27th, 2012 at 9:01 AM
The Samsung commercials are great
Are they the longest commercial in history? Seemed like it was at least 2 minutes.
And I think the Red Sox would definitely rather end the Yankees season. Last year was more of a collapse and the Orioles just happened to be the other team

It’s true, they were convicted by a 12-member jury of stealing & copying patents. I just like trolling on them, nothing more. I had an HTC, my wife still has a Galaxy 1 (upgrading to iPhone 5 next month). Both were shitty phones.

I managed to turn off the OTA after rooting the NT. That’s prevented it so far. But yeah, its tricky because I want to make sure the root is out there and stable before potentially bricking a $250 tablet.
That game will be tight. Ravens coming off a huge emotional win, Cleveland isn’t quite as bad as people think, and it’s a division game.

Booing unmercifully is what we used to do to JD Drew and Scott Rolen when he was with the Cardinals.
What Werth is getting is child’s play.
September 27th, 2012 at 9:12 AM
I’m the same way. Read physical books when I can. Two major advantages to the tablet though for me: one, my wife goes to sleep before me and it helps that I can read in bed in the dark without turning on a light, and two, you can find almost any e-book you want online for free.

I’m pretty sure Camden Riversharks fans booed Stephen Drew when he briefly played in the Atlantic league. I gotta admit, I thought that was pretty funny.
I don’t quite get booing Werth, at this point. No way were the Phillies paying him that money. They could use him on the team now, for sure, but not at that money.

I have the Amazon Prime, and that $79 pays for itself many times over. Watching videos on the Kindle for free or $1.99 is great, especially laying in bed at night, before going to sleep. and like you said about not having to have a light on to read, while your wife or myself are sleeping is great.

Pirate Bay has torrents all over the place for e-books. People will uploaded batches of 1000 books at a time, usually grouped by subject (history, sci-fi, politics, science, etc). You also get a NYT Bestsellers upload once a month which contains all the new popular fiction and non-fiction.

If I didn’t already have a Netflix subscription I’d be far more willing to consider the Fire. But its redundant.
The one thing B&N did that’s stupid with the Nook HD is not undercut Amazon’s pricing model. They have this huge new ecosystem with all this streaming and downloadable content, but the price is the same. No one will switch to a different platform for the same price. But they will if its cheaper.

Maybe a little late on this, but David Simon wrote an article for SI about the Orioles’ success. Can’t read the whole thing because of SI’s stupid paywall, but excerpts and a podcast interview are here.
Novelist Laura Lippman (Simon’s wife) also contributed a piece.
As someone living downtown, they both hit the city’s vibe on the nose. People want to talk about O’s and get excited but terrified to do so.
2 groups of fans: Older die hards who are very slow to come back after being emotionally slaughtered for 15 years and under 30 fans who only have come to Camden Yards on Fri. nights to get drunk for the last decade.

Dudes, I need some shoe advice. The last 3 pairs of shoes that I wear to work have worn out in a year each. I’m not talking about worn out as in getting scuffed or something like that. I’m talking about hole in the bottom, feet getting wet when it’s raining. All 3 pairs have been Johnson and Murphy brand, which at the time I thought was decent. Somebody give me a shoe brand suggestion. Something that’s comfortable enough to wear every day, looks good, will last and ideally doesn’t cost more than around $200.
September 27th, 2012 at 9:35 AM
Wasn’t expecting Bubba’s wife to look like that. Being from FLA and going to UGA, I was expecting something along these lines.
and I was kinda half expecting Miguel Angel Jimenez to be holding a cigar in his hand. Again, he follows true with the “must be the money” theme.
September 27th, 2012 at 9:37 AM
Did not know this. But I normally just torrent book pdfs anyway.
September 27th, 2012 at 9:37 AM
I’m 30 and still lived in Baltimore the last time the Orioles made the playoffs. I’ve always cared before the start of each season but come July you just tune out and get ready for training camp. Baseball is a sport you can only care about when your team is winning, so I don’t blame fans for turning on Angelos and the entire organization after a decade and a half of futility.
I can’t imagine how bad it will be if the Orioles win a WC spot and lose in Selig’s moronic one-game playoff. Especially if it happens in extras. There will be no words to describe the sense of loss.
September 27th, 2012 at 9:37 AM

Don’t wear the same pair everyday. I rotate 2 pairs of black and 2 pairs of brown, keep them in shoe trees, shine and polish them every weekend and my shoes last for years. Also, I buy J&M shoes that can be refurbished when the soles do inevitably wear out, so instead of spending $200 a pop, I spend $60 to have J&M resole them when needed.
September 27th, 2012 at 9:41 AM
Typical work shoes I buy are Steve Madden, though the last pair I bought were a pair of Dockers ProStyle. They cost $60, are comfortable as shit, and look more than good enough for business wear.

September 27th, 2012 at 9:42 AM
Allen Edmonds. A little more than your $200 price tag, but well worth it. When they do wear out you can send them back to the company for “recrafting”. It costs about $90, but they come back good as new. I have several pairs that are over 10 years old. Sme have been redrafted once, some twice. But, they are still going strong.
September 27th, 2012 at 9:42 AM

September 27th, 2012 at 9:42 AM
I’ll only add to this that $200+ isn’t unreasonable for quality, lasting shoes. But as the comment says, wearing any pair every day will wear them out eventually.
September 27th, 2012 at 9:42 AM
Id rather read a regular book over an e-book. It’s better on the eyes

Okay, confused as I may be by your Nook vs. Fire “review”, I’m most intrigued by this statement. You want a company with a market cap of 3/4 of a billion dollars to undercut one worth $115B?

Cole Haan. Nike show technology makes them the most comfortable shoes I’ve worn for work. I only buy them now, usually in the $150-$175 range for a nice pair.

There’s no point in spending tens millions to develop tablets if no one buys them. If you’re in the market for a tablet, why choose the Nook HD over offerings from Google, Amazon, and Apple? There has to be differentiation. Right now, B&N doesnt have it. A cheaper media service would be a big one.

They simply can’t afford that differentiator. An all out pricing war between Apple and Amazon is the only way you’ll see that, but B&N can’t buy in to that game.

I’ve known people who have cobblers (very few still exist, but they’re out there) put a rubber sole on the bottom over the leather sole to keep the wear down. I haven’t tried it myself, but maybe worth looking into.

I stare at a screen all day and would go mental if the battery ran out on a book. Used booked store close by bought The Satanic Verses and Stendhal book for a grand total of $11. Have hypocritical feelings about illegally downloading books, stealing a song you may see them in concert, end up buying the single or album in better quality. When you steal a book though what are the odds the author ends up profiting?
