What's wrong with the Deftones? I like the Deftones. Koi No Yokan was the best album since Around the Fur.

Would the ISP continuity continue if you move and are temporarily not their customer? If so, I'd be well over 10 years. If not, 3-10 years.

I've been avoiding Sandy for over a year now. Why do I suddenly need batteries or water or...
Oh, the hurricane. I'll take that any day over the ex.
Three stores were completely out of real (ie, not tiny key chain-like or slightly bigger) flashlights when I went out today. Might try to grab some head-mounted spelunking lights from Costco tomorrow but if all fails we have plenty of candles and fire is cooooooooool.

Motorola Ordered To Recall Android Phones and Tablets In Germany 190
puddingebola sends word of a German court decision yesterday which found that Google's Motorola Mobility must recall all of its Android tablets and phones that infringe on Apple's patent for "rubber-band" scrolling. From the Guardian:
"The dramatic decision, the latest in an escalating war between Apple and the smartphone and set-top box company MMI, follows earlier cases in which Apple had to disable automatic "push" delivery of email to its iPhone and iPads after MMI won a separate patent fight in Germany. The recall will not take effect immediately because Apple will have to request a ban on specific products and provide a €25m (£20m) bond, while MMI can appeal. However, the court indicated that it was unlikely that an appeal against the validity of the patent would succeed. MMI, with Google's backing, is expected to continue the appeal. The court also ruled that MMI owed Apple damages for past infringement."

The Cloud will fix this! See, if everything is in the cloud then everyone's records can be accessed without authorization at the same time, thus negating the need for the Wall of Shame!
Or at least just have one name on the Wall. But then that's not much of a wall. Snippet of Shame? One-liner of Shame?
