I bought a new pair of Bose headphones (Yeah I know they're overpriced, but they fit my oversized head unlike some other brands with better prices) to replace my $15 pair of JVCs that i've used for the last 4 years. Sadly, with these higher quality headphones I notice the poor bitrate of songs streaming from Pandora. So now i'm strongly considering upgrading to Pandora Premium to get no ads and the higher quality bitrate. But the higher bitrate will chew through my data plan faster, meaning I get less Pandora overall. Sigh.

So get unlimited data. Come on, it's like you don't even know how this works.

Homeowners in the San Francisco Bay Area wanted to see the water and the Golden Gate Bridge from their house, but a neighbor's place blocked the view. The solution? Buy the house for $4.2 million. Then destroy it.

I set the microwave to about twenty-five minutes and let it run itself until I think its finished. Each time I want to make something I just press the start button.

When I get an email or facebook notification, my tablet with its wifi access always buzzes or beeps fifteen seconds or so faster than my phone and its 4G. It's mildly annoying.
