Let them break the news that Lord Voldemort works there, and I'll be really impressed.

No, Rupe's been very clear from Day One: No coverage of the News Corp. chairman.

If this is really what you mean, CB, then I'll take the other side and give you 2-to-1 odds to boot. My thousand against your five hundy: What do you say?

However, if you want to make the same bet on this year's LSU/Florida football game, I might be willing to go there.

Don't you mean "if Jobs eventually dies?" He is really rich.

Technology is what improves our lives and our species. Technology is what has advanced us from knuckle-dragging troglodytes to 2009. The world needs Steve.

I've no idea how you feel about your Mom, but I suspect most of us - and certainly the organ donor - might differ with your incredibly shallow assertion.

As far as i'm aware Liver is one of those organs that you can cut a piece from the donor and it would be viable for both the donor and in this case Jobs to live.
It would still be a very risky operation for both, but it is possible.

This is what people in the bidness call a value stock. They've got a P/E ratio of 4.
It's no surprise that their profits are down in a down economy. But profit is still profit. Profitable companies don't ask for bailouts. This post makes no sense.

Should that go down, the folks (big banks) who fed them all the make-believe chips (credit) to gamble and lose with can potentially get excellent G.E. assets for pennies on the dollar while we get the bill for the whole transaction.
See how that works? (And why the Fed therefore doesn't want to say how much they're handing out to whom...)

I don't get that. I don't get why GE makes loans to people. If you are a business that makes ALL THE FUCKING LIGHTBULBS--I mean, here's civilization, and it is DEPENDENT on your product...why are you also opening a financial division?
I kind of felt the same way when they I realized that they ran NBC. What is the point of that? No matter how bad the economy gets, no matter how bad television gets, or how many people pull their god-damn advertisements, no one is ever going to stop buying lightbulbs.

"Greed," Gordon Gekko said, "is good."

Follow these steps and learn how to identify trolls who impersonate Gawker commenters.
The user on this page going by the handle "Minsley Tortimer" is not the "real" or original Minsley Tortimer.
1. Go to the page where Minsley Tortimer was executed.
2. Click the link where it says Executed: Minsley Tortimer.
3. You will see that this users ability to comment is still not enabled.
4. Now, look at the URL of the real Minsley’s page. It should be this:
http://gawker.com/people/azoth/
Why azoth? Because that is evidently the user ID that the real Minsley Tortimer entered on registering several months ago. Now, click on the linked handle of the recent comments by the fake "Minsley Tortimer," and you’ll see that the URL of this user’s page is:
http://gawker.com/people/MinsleyTortimer/
Not the same URL = not the same user. The imposter stole the name and her avatar, but he cannot steal the username, and thus the URL is not the same. You can use this technique to ferret out trolls who impersonate other users on this or other Gawker websites. Simply find a comment that you know to be authentic, click the handle of that comment, and check the URL of the user’s page.
5. Question: Who is the user glitter.panda, who claims to be the real Minsley Tortimer? Answer: The same troll. By means of obfuscation, he hopes you’ll think either his "Minsley Tortimer" or "glitter.panda" is the real Minsley Tortimer. He doesn’t care, as long as you’re fooled.
A message to the glitter.panda et alia: I really don’t give a shit, actually. I’m just outing you for the lulz.
