What were you searching for when you found this.....

Yeah, I think so!

Thanks for the help, everyone! Tomorrow's the day of the walk. Should be fun - and they're no longer predicting rain, only wind, so that's good!

Actually, the guy at the end of that clip (Carl) was there yesterday! He was pretty funny, and looked/sounded EXACTLY like Carl! They actually are playing in Buffalo next week -- May 6th I believe.

Why are you talking about something you obviously dislike and have no interest in ever buying?

Just got back from the show. It was pretty good. Parts were kinda lame, but overall it was worth it - especially since 5th row tickets were only $25. They have an entire section of the show devoted to the local area, which was cool. In our case, they talked about Brett Favre, made a joke how Minnesota was friendly to the survivors of Katrina (while showing a few fumbles from the NFC championship game), talked about the new Twins ballpark, compared it to the Metrodome ("The new park doesn't have a dome because the city doesn't know how to build a roof. You can't just put a garbage bag over a building and call it a roof - that's a TARP!"). Made comments on the Mall of America as well. Fun stuff. They also showed us the 100th episode, which will be airing on May 2nd. It's pretty funny. In short, don't go out of your way to see the show, but if it fits into your schedule, I'd recommend it since the price is good and the venue is small.

You know, I forgot all about the movie. I haven't gotten around to seeing it yet, but I need to! "I'm Mr. Mister. When I get pissed, you get mist!" *squirt squirt*

I'm going to see ATHF Live tonight. Anyone else seen the show? I have no idea what to expect -- it could either be awesome or stupid -- so we'll see what happens. http://animatedtv.about.com/b/2010/04/12/athf-live.htm

So how does the company that runs the plan make any money in the deal....?

I've always wondered what happens if you don't spend all of your FSA money. I know it goes away if you don't spend it by 12/31 -- but where does the money go? I guess I always assumed that the government gets the money, but maybe it all goes to the FSA processing company? Anyone know? That said, I know I've spent more money in December of a year in order to use up all of my Flex spending money. One year my wife ended up buying a $400 pair of sun glasses, just because we had so much money in our account (thought we were going to have a major medical expense that didn't transpire). That's money we wouldn't have normally spent... FWIW, anyway.

Why does it make sense...? The Flex Spending Accounts are to pay for medical expenses... As the article says, you can get the break for getting a prescription allergy pill, but not OTA? How does that make sense?

Sounds like someone's arrogant.

Yeah, but according to all accounts (even before the seizures) is that the original person contacted Apple about it, and they blew him off saying it wasn't there's.

Just because it's a criminal matter doesn't mean it's not the corporation pulling the strings.

If that were the case, they'd go after their own guy, not the journalist.

I'm assuming the Bandits stream all of their games online. If not, you can root for the Swarm, as they DO stream all of their games online: http://www.mnswarm.com/team/gamecenter.asp?GAME_ID=92 Plus, the Championship game will air on Versus: http://nll.com/article.php?id=4499

Fine. Someone calls a reporter with a scoop about a senate scandal that they found proof of on an iPhone that a senator left at a bar. The reporter does research to confirm it; then prints a nice big story that he/she broke. He/she doesn't go to the Senator and apologize for getting this information from a lost iPhone and give the phone to the Senator, forgetting the entire story ever existed. So why is this situation any different? Look, if someone broke into the guy's house and stole the iPhone, you'd have a point. If someone broke into Apple's R&D and stole the iPhone, you'd have a point. But someone LOST it. And Gizmodo DID return the property as well. They just happened to photograph it first. Apple hates being upstaged, and they're using your tax dollars to "punish" the journalist.

Come on folks, support the BANDITS! (or the SWARM!) Indoor lacrosse rocks.

You normally sue the party with the most money... I guess that would be the judge.

I'm not sure I follow... Some guy found the phone at a bar in California. Tried calling Apple, they blew him off. He called Gizmodo, who paid him $5k for the phone. Guy ships phone to Gizmodo editor who takes it apart and takes pictures, writing information about the new phone on the blog site. Cops break down the door into Gizmodo editor's house and seize all of his stuff, despite being told he's a journalist. I think the state of California is about to become a bit poorer, but that's just my guess...

Thanks. Overall, he's pretty cool - but can be a bit needy/whiny... I'm looking forward to Saturday though, I think it'll be a lot of fun. My cat acts a lot like a dog though, and doesn't require me to take her outside to do her business.... So I'm still not 100% sold on dogs

Root for the Bandits! At least they win championships.... http://stats.nll.com/stats/statdisplay.php?type=standings Or you could root for Minnesota... But it's sad that they made the playoffs with a 5-11 record.... Still, playoffs are playoffs!

So someone being PAID to do research and publish it on a website should be treated the same as someone who just throws random thoughts on a webpage....? If you read the thread, you'll see that the person who found it DID try contacting Apple first. I'm not sure if that's true or not, but if it is, does that change your mind?

Yes, the guy's picture was posted -- and again, it was after the device was already analyzed. If you lose something, it's not "stolen property." You lost it. If you're lucky, someone returns it to you. If you're not lucky, you lost it. And why is it scary if bloggers are given the same rights as journalists? If you're talking about you making up your own blog for fun, then sure. But this guy is a paid blogger -- his parent company pays him to find news on electronic gadgets. What he did was reporting and journalism.
