I love a good portal... You know what other people like? When you tell them how to raise their kids... What happens when you are wearing Google Glass and you stare into a mirror?... My only marginal issue with binge viewing is that it changes the group dialogue pattern and fragments it... The company that comes up with true anti-glare/reflection screens for devices is going to mint it... I just got an e-mail that is so wrong on so many levels and I want to reply right away and yet the depths of how wrong it is makes me pause. It's the reason people like me will never hold missile keys... I'm like TIN CUP on dots. I don't play it safe. I don't lay it up...
