I am 27, I am gay, I live in New York City, and I've a sneaking fondness for dinosaurs.
OK, so yes, my company is part of the umbrella behemoth that also owns Time Inc. / Sports Illustrated, but this is a REALLY impressive digital-magazine concept, and if they can pull it off it’ll be quite remarkable.
Holy crap, look how awful those AT&T numbers are for New York City. As much as I want a new iPhone, performance like that gives me pause about whether or not shelling out all that service-plan cash is in any way worth it, especially since the single most disappointing thing about my EDGE iPhone has been its incredibly poor network reception, even for simple voice calls. GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER, AT&T.
first they came for the musicians…

Seriously, you guys, this behavior (in case you’re too lazy to click the link: Google is trying to get illustrators to provide artwork for Chrome skins for free, paying them only in the currency of “exposure”) is utterly absurd and unsupportable. Magazines have given illustrators “exposure” for years, but guess what? THEY PAID THEM FOR IT. It’s very simple, Google: if you can’t do something yourself, i.e. make art, you pay someone else to do it. Just because it was done with a pen, and not a computer-science degree from Stanford, doesn’t mean it’s not worth money.
