In fact I still have my mint-condition copies of the LV Sun's farewell to the Dunes Hotel special issue .. though, little did the Sun know they were about to implode themselves :[] .. good times though.

I was hoping for the death of print media if only to save the forests.

Then somebody said, hey, everybody's still listening to radio and watching teevee. What's their business plan again?

Hope those Vice guys are socking the money away, because I figure they have five years left, tops. Why five? Because that's when the main body of hipsters start having to go straight, start getting married, start having kids, start needing real jobs, and when the trust funds start running out.

Meaning, once the very specific and narrow generation to which Vice pitches itself, outgrows the Vice product, they will no longer consume the Vice product.
Unless, of course, they can make the transition into staying relevant to next bunch of hipster twats who come along.

I totally disagree with your five year theory - When I was 16/17 I used to read Vice - I haven’t touched it for years now (I’d much rather read about it on Gawker), but now I find my little brother who’s 17 reads it avidly....and so on…

Seriously, though. Perhaps you should give it another go. It's not all tits and cocaine anymore. Just some tits and cocaine.

Seriously though - there's lots of reasons to be suspicious of the Apple Tablet - not the least of which is that it's not going to be a tablet Mac... it's going to be a large iPhone.
Which means - you're getting an ebook reader for $700. :)

Not sure why Conde Nast is staring with Wired, though.

It's TOE the line, not "tow". It does not refer to hauling a rope, it refers to a bunch of guys standing next to each other with their toes on a line. It's probably got a military origin.

For what it's worth I think your pet peeve is entirely unfounded. Having spent a fair amount of time looking - including consulting with a linguist, there doesn't appear to be a consensus either on the proper form of "tow/toe" or, even, the appropriate metaphor given either form.
I take the fact that your reply didn't even attempt to forward any support for your position (nor, really, does this) as yet more evidence.

By the way, by the way you pair it with "Not a big deal", you should probably have used the outright "I couldn't care less" rather than the sarcastic "I could care less."

Although from what I've heard, the two are becoming colloquially synonymous.

(note that if you search wikipedia for "tow the line" it redirects to "toe")

Where do I even start?
It was sarcasm - it was another misquoted, mixed up cliche.

Also, what a gloating headline Greenbaum penned, "Post a vulgar comment while you’re at work, lose your job." This guy is off the rails.
