Would you rather her buy new dresses? I definitely think this is a much better proposition

I converted my home office to a standing desk about a year ago and now I won't turn back. @ work, I still have a sit down desk at my office, but I'm in and out of meetings more of late, so I'm not fixed to by desk for more than a couple of hours at a time. it ends giving me a good 60 / 40 (sit / stand) solution
The Desk I'm using is a slightly older Ikea office desk that allows me to set it to any particular height. Sadly, it looks like they don't carry it anymore and the closest option that I see currently is the Frederick. http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/60111123

Maybe we need to have a Godwin's Law for Ponzi schemes.

Leave it to the WSJ to exemplify the behavior of people with an erratic gene variation as something "Elite" (or L33t, lol).

I agree. American humor can be pretty tame by comparison

Good luck guys! It's nice to see that there's a tech / startup scene getting going in Minnesota.

I'm curious to find out what you guys / gals think about this. Is this just a fear tactic? Or, does ATT have a legit way to check if you're doing unauthorized tethering. Any of you get hit with this text on accident (false positive)?
EDIT Removed the '(Ars)' from the title. N00b mistake :)

For some reason, I kept thinking of how this headline would read if it was an Onion article.
"Soulless executive loses job, discovers she's a human being."

ars technica had a very recent and in-depth article about the Rise and Fall (and re-rise?) of the genre. Definitely worth a read: http://arstechnica.com/gaming/reviews/2011/01/history-of-gra...

I'm hacking my pantry. Right now, making chicken stock by using leftover carcasses from whole chickens that I cut-up myself in the last few months. Will freeze the stock to keep it up to 3 - 4 months and during that time can cut-up some more chickens to use in the next cycle. The stock is very simple to make and involves mostly inactive cook time (3-4 hrs simmering) and it teaches you to work with whole chicken rather than cut-up parts, making it more economical. And, it makes your house smell wonderfully delicious :)

Yes, sadly our version of "rugby" features lots of standing around, pads, and helmet-induced concussions. Are you gearing up for the Rugby World cup in your backyard this year?

Your title is misleading because you're comparing Job's annual salary with Cook's total compensation. If you read the fine print of the article, it clearly states that Cook's annual salary "remained at about $800,000."
Later down, the article also shares that Jobs "holds about 5.5 million shares in the company and hasn’t sold any since rejoining." If you wanted to extrapolate Job's current worth based on Apple stock, it would be roughly $1.8 bil. ($334 / share * 5.5mil shares)
Anyway, I'm not sure what you were trying to point out with this article, but I don't think Job's is being short-changed. The $1 salary is mainly a PR stunt.
