Ha. At that point the news will wake you itself as the collective subconscious of what actually is news begins to form sentience.

There is no news, there is only olds that are retold over and over again so that the consuming masses are guided in a direction the media wishes using fear, outrage, horror, sadness, etc... as a driving force for sales.
Does anyone doubt that people do bad things?
That government officials are corrupt?
That business is out to make money?
That people will indulge in sexual practices for their own personal pleasure?
That mother nature will rear up on her hind legs and let her anger, frustration, rage out on the peoples of the earth?
That people will do bad things to each other?
Its the same stories retold over and over. And the masses play their parts to perfection. If not, media consultants would not have a job.
Damn you, you kids! Get off my lawn or I'm callin' tha cops!

Don't be so arrogant. I've just been too busy in the alleged real world to come over here on a daily basis and kill them myself.

Not me. You can get a good Compaq for around the same price, plug in printers and other accessories, and still download the apps you want onto it. Plus, you can see a laptop in the sunlight if you turn it right.

Well I love my iPad. Didn't grab a new one this year but did get the original on release day last year. Use it constantly for work and web programming. If you get the right combo of apps it's a great full sized laptop replacement. Plus you can play Angry Birds on it.

The only people who go to the beach any more are Jersey Shore types and I would rather not have to see all those Oompa Loompas.

not down here at myrtle beach. But, I just go to the state park where all the families are, not the hot young co-eds from ohio.
