I saw something on wbz4 -7 news that said a handfree device/ app was 2.99 per month which equated to 25 dollar's per year 2.99* 12 =36.00-.12 = 35.88 someone can't do math lol I don't have a link to it as it was on tv. I'll see if I can find it maybe lol.

Is it possible they said it's 2.99 per month or 25 for a whole year? (i.e. cheaper per month if you buy a year) Of course, they could just be terrible at multiplication, but who knows.

I know my wtfs tend to be for a different reason, but just thought I'd post this.

Nice little thing about quantum computing, but this is my favorite quote:

Quote:

The Santa Barbara researchers said they believe they will essentially double the computational power of their quantum computers next year.

Yeah, they'll double the computational ability in a year. That sounds kinda familiar for some odd reason. I guess I should Google for Moore information, lol.

It's been a long time since we've heard words 'crab meat' and Spam in one phrase.

"AP - The nearly 4,500 passengers and crew of the Carnival Splendor have no air conditioning or hot water. Running low on food, they have to eat canned crab meat and Spam dropped in by helicopters."

Oh, the horror, the horror!
