Surprising. The MLB video quality and stream was very good this year compared to the past two. I thought Silverlight had the momentum. - Brad

"Two words: Ink Smears. Whenever we try to write with ink we always end up smearing our writing beyond recognition." - Shey via Bookmarklet
Left handers need to unite. It is time that the smarter ones took over the world...again! - Mike L
That's what you get for living in a right-handed universe (it's true - ask any scientist) - klecu
Obama is a lefty.. Your well on your way to total world domination - Chris W
Here's the big one: Boomerangs. There's just no way a "regular" boomerang will return to a person throwing with their left hand, it's impossible. - Shey
I can relate to most of these annoyances, especially the smearing ink. I remember coming home from school when I was a kid with blue ink stains on the side of my hand. - Evan Brown
All pens and pencils are right handed. Why? When you hold them in your left hand as if to write, any words written on them appear upside down. Yes, I am left handed and only a left handed person would notice such a thing. - Jason Kaneshiro
Did someone ask for the Leftorium? http://simpsons.wikia.com/wiki... - Wizetux
lol +1 Jason - Shey
@Jason, well that clearly depends on how you hold the pen/pencil in your hand more than whether you are left or right handed. - Wizetux
I was forced to learn Right handed writing. Then I broke my right arm twice, and noticed that I was really liking writing with my left hand (nooo! screamed my teacher) and well now I write with my Right. But I am left eye and hand dominate...Grrrr! - Susan Beebe
@Shey - there are left-handed Boomerangs (it's just a mirror image), and they fly in the opposite circle :) - Jennifer Dittrich
@Susan My mom did that with my twin brothers! Since they were babies she was always moving stuff from their left hands to their right - Shey
This is gonna sound really lame, but I have an attraction to left-handed guys. Something about that unusualness really is sweet and endearing to me. - Derrick
I'm a lefty and damn proud of it. 2 of my 3 children are right handed but there is still hope that my 3rd child will be a lefty and therefore brilliant, like me :P - Penny
We lefties are sinister. - Jack Carlson
@Wizetux, I haven't met any left handers who write with the eraser end, or hold their pens and pencils so their hands are completely turned around backwards. If you're right handed, sit with a pencil in your left hand for a while and you'll see what I'm talking about. - Jason Kaneshiro
Interesting post, and while I agree with some points, not others. For example I don't believe there's a left handed way of eating, I mean how hard is it to hold a knife if your right hand? (I'm left handed and not even remotely ambidextrous). Same with a computer + mouse...a left handed keyboard? wtf? - Duncan Riley
Ink smears are the worst! - Head Ov Metal
Southpaw here - Hutch Carpenter
Scissors should be in first spot though. I still struggle to use right handed scissors - Duncan Riley
yeah, i surf goofy-foot too! we left-handers are more creative... and accident-prone. .LOLz - .LAG
+1 LAG lol it's true. But that's not because we're clumsy! It's a right-handedness conspiracy to eliminate southpaws - Shey
@Duncan I would agree - Shey
Write in Arabic or Japanese :) - ♣genieyclo♣
I'm hoping NatSpeak or equivalent gets embedded in small devices so I can dictate. Mad Men secretary bot optional :-) - Richard Walker
Left Hand == Right Mind - Kevin Johnson
I'm a lefty named Wright. Talk about conflicted. I growl at scissors, can't fly in a window seat, and can openers give me the fits. I'm always shocked when someone sees me write and they ask - You're a lefty??! Why yes I am! - Nice Fish Films
Damn ink smears. After essay tests I have to use Lava soap. - Stellina
I got so used to using regular scissors that whenever my teachers would force me to use the lefty ones I'd curse them! (Well, I wanted to, anyway.) Lefty scissors are so backward to this lefty!! - Oliver Ortega Chua
After looking at the list... I've pretty much learned to live with most of the list. The one I have the most problem with is the playing cards. People always look at me funny when I hold them. Of course, I can't use lefty ones unless I'm playing solitaire. And, oh, now I know why I've never been able to throw a boomerang!! lol - Oliver Ortega Chua
So Arabic and Hebrew are against righties? - Chuck LeDuc Díaz
lefty, forced to write righty as I grew up. - Michael J. Cohen (mjc)
♣genieyclo♣ has a point, blame the english language for not being readable both ways. - Michael J. Cohen (mjc)

You always come up with such catchy headings, I can resist reading :) - Sasha Kovaliov
One of Yahoo's many failures appear to have been the ability to hold onto a good thing!! Case in point, Microsoft coming through with a generous offer of $40 dollars a share for Yahoo (http://tinyurl.com/5bu4vz) Now if Yang is claiming he is ready to be acquired (http://tinyurl.com/587aqb) then who are we going to be believe, big hint it isn't Yang! - Josh Chandler
Sasha, I hope you mean you can't resist reading :) - Svetlana Gladkova via twhirl
"Not" being the obvious word in that last sentence :) Honestly, I think Microsoft set off a huge cascading overflow from walking away from the Yahoo deal, there is always some journalist, blogger or observer who wants to pass comment on it. And to be honest at one point I was truly truly bored of this whole thing being blown out of proportion by bloggers and news journalists, however it is not them fueling the fire in this instance. It's a poor attention seeking technique for Yahoo!! - Josh Chandler
NB- I will not discount myself in anyway from that previous comment I made, here is why: http://tinyurl.com/5r44qy But overall I still stand by the fact that the speculation, especially from the big news sites just didn't help anything get done. - Josh Chandler
Josh, yes, it's already "not" for sure and bloggers and journalists (me included) will be sure to blow this into a huge scandal where Yahoo valuation will suffer tremendously. Too bad it is like this but it looks like the politics chosen by the management deserves exactly this reaction - no matter how sorry I myself am for the company. - Svetlana Gladkova
I love your creative titles! - Nancy Tran
Thanks Nancy, trying hard :) - Svetlana Gladkova via twhirl

Why should we still be putting up with Microsoft putting out graphically more interesting operating systems, there is nothing that I have seen from initial screenshots that shouldn't have made it into Vista SP2, however I am hugely relieved at the UAC alteration! - Josh Chandler
