No, but that's second-rate compared to a native app that could be set to respond to address clicks or give verbal turn-by-turn guidance.

The thing that's really getting me with the maps thing is that iPhone is the only platform that doesn't offer you the choice of which maps/directions you'd like to use. They actively prevent Google or others from offering alternatives--FREE ALTERNATIVES. Pretty much sums up my problems with Apple right there!

I'd guess this was made in spite of their ever-continuing troubles. Less obviously money-making properties they own haven't been so lucky. I don't understand how they can be in such bad straits for years and years running--with popular properties and income from their back catalog... have they been through bankruptcy yet? One of these days I really have to read up on what's going on over there.

Ahem, did Expat quote him too? ;o)

No, I don't think so. Republicans have an entire network that would gladly spend 24 hours a day even on manufactured untrue BS against Democrats / the President. Remember the asshat with the hidden camera at Acorn? The Republicans and say-anything Romney deserve every fucking minute of this, my only regret in the matter is that Dems may get overconfident and get blindsided by a long-planned dirty trick or that the feeling Obama's already won combined with evil voter suppression efforts actually endanger the outcome. Not to mention, the Republicans have made it clear they will not allow the president to get a god damned thing done as long as they control the house of even a "superminority" of senators. So a massive route is the only path to the change Americans are finally starting to demand!

Pics have come out of Kate topless. - - The queen is said to be beside herself!

People familiar with the edits, discrepancies, and contradictions in the bible, who see it as, at best, "inspired by god" and filled with parables are not the problem, not who we are arguing with. But when those people go along with the moo-ing herd of uneducated idiots who believe (though they've never spent time thinking about it for themselves) that it is the literal word of god and want it taught as such (and selectively enforced on our private/social lives)--especially when it's allowed to reach it's tendrils of idiocy into our public schools... THAT'S WHEN WE HAVE A PROBLEM! - -

The President's definition is *families* making up to that amount. While I hate to admit it, that may have also been what Romney was trying to say... But that he so consistently faceplants on things like this... who exactly thinks he should be the one speaking for the country? I guess it's a good thing Romney would let people like Netanyahu decide and articulate our foreign policy then...

Fucking hilarious! Something they only seem able to accomplish with political fodder anymore. "Obama" was damn good, though he didn't interject "Look," like the real President does constantly.

Disney/WeHo is quite a drive. Magic Mountain/WeHo is very easy. Also, by far the best time to visit Magic Mountain (gay or straight--but ESPECIALLY GAY) is during an evening special event when it's empty and it's not 100 degrees/burning hot. SUCH AS NEXT FRIDAY!

Couldn't figure out where I knew him from... http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2357874/ He was the daughter's suitor in that pile of crap Terra Nova, thought he was pretty as hell the couple episodes I watched.

Or, put far more succinctly:

If they are shutting down reasonable, informed discussion of how it works, people trying to get their heads around natural selection + time becoming so much, they are wrong. "Science" is generally consensus-driven but there are always outliers and people with differing ideas, once in a while they manage to prove something that improves our understanding of their field greatly. But people saying that this process (continual application of the scientific method) somehow brings the foundation of these theories into doubt makes no sense whatsoever. Of course there are people calling themselves scientists or teachers who are just wrong or misinformed--though that is but a drop in the ocean of people calling themselves religious leaders who are absolutely speaking out of their ass on the matter! I make no apologizes for anybody who goes somewhat frothing at the mouth because somebody is idiotically contradicting millions of hours of research and study with "no, my personal invisible magic friend did it"! Especially an average American Christian--because what they are really saying is: "I haven't read it myself, but I was told by somebody (with a room-temperature IQ and a divinity diploma anybody could get for $25 + postage) that a book of muddied origin with documented mistranslations and edits for political reasons says that the earth is only 4000-some years old and the fossil record is just one of Satan's attempts to lead people astray!" That same "faith" also rules out genetics (Noah's Ark) and astronomy (universe created in a day), but never mind that... Further, the ESTABLISHMENT CLAUSE of the CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA states, VERY FUCKING CLEARLY that the govt. has no business supporting one religion over another. So that's another thing deeply wrong with teaching creationism in schools: religions differ greatly (even within Christianity) on the topic--and have changed over time. Maybe you've known some bad scientists and teachers. I've known some great teachers who did treat evolution as a theory, subject to improvement, explained it's intricacies and even stated that others have different beliefs on the matter. It deeply offends me that children today in many southern states are not being taught that way--and that my tax dollars are paying for it!

I heard things like turn by turn directions announced which of course Google's been doing for years (even on non-Android phones, but were prevented from doing on iPhones--for free...) and yet another proprietary connector...

Except it's not scientists that act like that! They call it a theory, point out any inconsistanies, research them and either improve or replace the theory in question. The whole point of calling it a theory is that yes, niggling little points will be found and worked out over time, but to date nobody has proven a better alternative explanation. You're mixing scientists up with creationists, who are absolutly positive their *specific* brand of invisible magic friend in the sky did everything (AND cares deeply about what we do in our bedrooms--yet doesn't seem to give 2 shits about the familly sleeping in their car two blocks over...) and that *this* nonsense is what children should be taught! FINE, I say, set up your own fucking right-wing fundie madrassas! But DO NOT fund them with my fucking tax dollars or whine when your precious Billy can't get a fucking job because his diploma dosen't even make good toilet paper!

Yes, scientific theories are routinely examined and improved. That makes them stronger--not weaker.

He hasn't said it explicitly, but allowing the Republicans to hoist themselves on their own budget/debt petard as a way to finally lower *vastly* overdone spending on our military-industrial complex is something I support President Obama at 100%! He just needs to stand up to them instead of backing down/cowering in the corner (the Democratic Party way!)... those budget provisions were Republicans own fucking idea and no, the ones affecting Republican fetishes/constituencies will not all be written off, no matter how dire the Republicans make *any* cut whatsoever to military spending WHICH OUTSTRIPS THE NEXT *14* COUNTRIES COMBINED sound! You know what, saying we don't need more than, what, 12 super-carriers--when none of our enemies operate ONE, or that we don't need hundreds to thousands of planes designed to fight WWIII against the Soviet Union is actually fucking reasonable but is somehow a 3rd rail in our politics. OF COURSE I'm not saying cut back on the troops, training, consumables, and most certainly not veteran care--especially for the injured. But every single one of those things should be a far higher priority than an entire new class of nuclear subs!

I'm all for standing with the Israeli people, who want peace, over the Zionist troublemakers/hardliners they for some reason put into office. Things have seemed fairly quiet lately--or are just getting drowned out by all the noise our own adventures cause over there, but for most of my adult life things would seem relatively smooth then Israel would do something provocative and continue the tit for tat cycle ad nauseam.

Ah, youth. I've seen far more delusional ads!

Cute! Was that a thing? Just figured out (a minute after being blocked) a hot young guy chatting you up on Grindr than whining about how far the 5 mile drive across town is, is also a prostitute! BONUS:

Yelp is first and foremost a 5-star system one can judge at a glance, I don't see how you can think a bunch of one star reviews lowering the average to something like 1.5 will not clearly cost him business. Sure, if you dig into it and read each review you may notice something's fishy--but when you're deciding where to go with the mobile app for 5 minutes from now... of course it's going to have an effect! And FUCK the Republicans who all, at their core have this mindset that "you're either with us or you're a commie socialist Muslim TRAITOR". Everybody FALL IN LINE behind the candidate with the most money behind him! THAT is the deserved death of the Republican party!
