Caltrops - American McGee's Honda Civic





	[quote name="skip"]Because everybody uses a phone but reading would require more commitment than these guys can muster. All I wanted was to know which e-reader was the best to read for a long period of time since library holds can take a few days. Which causes the least eye strain? Can I read magazines? Let's see what our tech writers have to say! [quote]The Oasis also automatically displays definitions above complicated words to streamline your experience, and just in case you end up needing to check the dictionary, the device saves your search inquiries in a Dictionary Builder and even allows you to quiz yourself with digital flash cards. The device also translates highlighted passages into a laundry list of different languages.[/quote] I'm reading a book, not trying to relive English class. This shit is cute, but how do words look? [quote]The Oasis is also incredibly light at just 4.6 ounces, though the leather charging case tacks on an additional 3.8 ounces. It’s comfortable to hold and feels undeniably premium.[/quote] This "premium" quality means jack shit since it's replacing worn library books. Can't these dumbasses break out of their worn formulas? Of course not. [quote]Here’s how I read on a tablet: I open the Kindle app. I read for somewhere between four and nine seconds. A notification pops up: I have a new email or someone tweeted a funny link at me. I tap on that notification, and check out whatever’s come in. I check Twitter, and then maybe I’ll just play a quick game of FIFA before I get to my subway stop. Wait, was I doing something? Here’s how I read on an e-reader: I open it up, and I read. And I keep reading.[/quote] Until his phone vibrates with a retweet by someone with hundreds of more followers and he basks in his accomplishment. It says volumes about the deeply anti-intellectual nature of most these idiots that very few even mention reading on it. Tom's Guide was an exception. I think I saw one other site... [quote]I remember when I first used a Kindle, I was shocked at how much I liked it. I’m still a fan of regular books, but it’s nice to have an alternative when I don’t want to own or lug around a physical copy of, say, Gone Girl. Increasingly, I’ve been reading on my phone—but it’s nice to have a reading surface that doesn’t come with a batch of built-in distractions.[/quote] This person has A. Never finished Gone Girl, but thought the movie was an interesting comment about the place of women today B. Has never used an e-reader for more than 20 minutes C. Is the worst Everything about it is perfectly Gizmodo. Bonus sentence: [quote]If, like me, you’re on the Kindle an hour a day if you’re lucky, there’s no reason to splurge.[/quote] This guy reading a book for even half an hour a day is everybody on dating sites who say they go to the gym 2-3 times a week. The results speak for themselves and you're not fooling anybody.[/quote]
