    Well when you have 81% of the marketshare by smartphone shipments, companies that are losing are going to get desperate. http://boygeniusreport.files.wordpre...ndsetchart.png

    I picked up Steelheart a few days ago and just finished it. Not a bad book. I'm not sure how long he can keep up the pace he is on. The guy is a machine.

    Universal remote?

    I have a harmony one and I really like it. I might go with the harmony hub though when I move into my new house

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    We had 3 showers, one on my side of the family, one on her side of the family and one from her work. We're in the process of building a new house, so pretty much everything we registered for was with the new house in mind. We got a surprising amount of gifts off the registry, more than I thought...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    The DJ we used was around $600, and I thought he was great, kept the reception moving, got people on the dance floor. Pretty much kept us informed the entire night, ran by us the odd ball requests that people made before playing them. Well worth the money. We paid $5500 for the wedding...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I have 136 in family alone. We're fairly close, always getting together for family stuff. Couldn't not invite all of them. I think she had 90 family as well. I agree its a crazy amount.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    We invited 445 people, we both have large families and parents that wanted to invite a lot of their friends. Only 250 came. I think out of that maybe 6 or so didn't show. Thankfully our parents paid for most of it, though we helped where we could.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I got married last weekend. Kind of surreal, we spent a year planning it basically and I barely remember most of the ceremony.

    I'm not sure ASIC's are even worth it now. Seems like we are in a never ending cycle of speed increases and difficulty increases. Only the guys making the ASIC's are actually making money.

    Big Brother 18

    I thought it was kind of funny that all 3 of the finalist have been fired from their jobs for shit they said on the show. Not that Andy cares any more though.

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    That's the only reason I still have my gpu's mining, running them at work. I don't understand people that are buying those usb miners either. Unless you are buying in bulk, you can never make an ROI.

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    Difficulty jumped to 112 million. I'm not really sure how much longer these jumps can go on. I would imagine that most people have turned off their gpu's by now. Through BTCguild you can by block usb eruptors, which are 300m/hs for .21 BTC and he can't seem to keep them in stock. Basically sells...

    What were the papers that Nucky was looking at, at the end? Something to do with Florida. I got the note that looked like it was signed by William McCoy but I just wasn't sure what exactly those papers were.

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    Difficulty is up to 86 million now. So I'm down to making .2 bitcoins per day from .5 when I got the jalapeno's. They've more than paid for themselves over the past 2 months. Bitcoin prices are hovering around $130 to $140. Difficulty has been jumping 20% to 30% every two weeks. I'm thinking...

    I could very well be wrong about that though.

    I don't think BB has the large patent portfolio that would make it attractive buy for anyone. I did see an article that BB might spin off its messenger service into a separate company.

    It certainly seems that's what they are doing. I'd feel differently if they had shipped all their pre-orders before announcing this new and improved asic device. Though to be fair, in the past 6 weeks I've made $2k from the jalapeno's

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    I would avoid them now. I won't order anything from them unless it is in stock and ready to ship. I ordered my 3 Jalapeno's from them August of 2012, they were saying we're shipping in November. I got mine at the end of June, 2013. Lots of people still haven't gotten product from them that they...

    The show is centered around building the first transcontinental railroad and the name of the town that moves with the workers across the country is Hell on Wheels.

    I could see them mining themselves. I won't order from them again and I feel lucky I got what I did order from them

    It could be they knew they were scamming people but they are shipping products. I think they are rather incompetent and didn't take into account Chinese companies flooding the market with asics.

    I guess I got lucky with bfl and getting those jalape?o's. Still chugging away. You may look at block erupters, .6 btc for 333m/hash. Can get them quite easily

    Joseph went back to his people I think. Not a bad opening, I like the way things are being setup.

    From what I read they were trying to make an entire theme day, so they are going to show western's all day leading up to Hell on Wheel's. It may or may not work

    Litecoins would be the way to go with GPU's no. I think they are marginally profitable now.

    Go with mistborn. Its a good series and you can get a good feel for his writing style. I read, WoK first, then mistborn, went back to Elantris, then warbreaker. Can really see his progression as a writer from Elantris to WoK.

    So difficulty jumped to 26.2 milion, price has dropped to in the $80's. I've paid off my jala's already though with what they have mined.
