The only big deal I see
[Read the article: So how about those Miley Cyrus photos?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Being a guy, the only problem I see with it is she's underage, and um, am I a pervert for thinking that the photo's are rather attractive?
Well they are. I don't find them outrageous, they're classy, she's pretty with nice skin, and a very trim and fit body.
I'm of the opinion that Miley doesn't have anything to be embarrassed about. 20 years from now she'll look back at this as really a nothing in comparison with the rest of her life. I imagine she's been advised by her publicist to say she's embarrassed so that she doesn't risk a few million dollars on her Disney contract.
In the end you can find more skin shown by Tinkerbell than you did by Miley. Are we as a society so hung up on the idea of a bare female body that THIS is a big deal. *I'm* a little embarrassed to be included with an American society that is in an uproar about any of these pictures. And shoot, if I had a body like that I'd want to show it off too.

Nice post Master Jedi
[Read the article: Microsoft almost certainly going hostile on Yahoo, unless it's not]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I hope that it's the "or not" option. I've never been one to support the biggest guy, and I've always liked Yahoo for their non-conformist fun attitude. So for anyone who doesn't support Microsoft in their bid for Yahoo, how about supporting Yahoo for your searches. It's not like Yahoo is all that less effective than Google at finding stuff online.

Why seven?
[Read the article: Watch "The Love Guru": Go to hell]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Why not six levels of hell?
And what kind of sick twisted prophet of some religion comes up with multiple levels punishment for anything?
I suppose I'm going to some level of hell for even thinking such a thing... but I don't believe in hell. No, my faith says it doesn't exist, and nothing you can do or say will change my mind.

It used to be
[Read the article: No victory: Yahoo feels the heat after Microsoft walks away]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Not so long ago, Yahoo! meant something, now people are all down on the company because they want to stick it out. They are still the number 2 search engine, and the number one portal. So the advertising revenue isn't as good as Google, what's the big deal? Yahoo! is still profitable, they still have a great brand, and you know what, the search engine isn't all that much worse than Google's. Before everyone get's all down on Yahoo!, maybe they should take another look at the company, and try switching their default provider in their browser to Yahoo! and see if they even notice a difference. I know I do, and it means equal results and a better interface.
Jerry, there's at least one person out there who thinks you did the right thing, keep on at it. Your challenge isn't to find revenue, it's to motivate all those Yahoo's to *KNOW* why they are better than Microsoft, and why they could be better than Google, the entire company just needs to step up.

Censorship or a phone?
[Read the article: The BlackBerry Bold: The prettiest, Webbiest Berry ever]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Personally I think my N95 running on AT&T has a non-blurry or pixelated screen. Granted the screen is small, but at 2.8 inches I wouldn't recommend watching movies on any phone. The 3G connection is fast, the 5 megapixel camera is very slick it includes an accelerometer and FM radio if you use the included wired headphones. I've yet to fill up my 8 gigs of space even with a 1 hour tv episode and a full length movie. It's come to replace my 6 megapixel canon, and be an organizer, phone, FM radio, and allows me to connect to the internet with my laptop via bluetooth and 3G.
But everyone talks about the iPhone and the Blackberry like they are the only phones ever.

Shoot him
[Read the article: My boyfriend has an abysmal environmental conscience]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]No wait, that would be adding CO2 to the atmosphere in the form of vaporized gunpowder. Better to stab him, then the only CO2 emanating from the event is the exertion you'll have from the movement of your arm, his remaining breaths, and of course the panic you'll have raising your heart rate.
Then, either dice him up into little small pieces to distribute into a nice garden, or get a bowling ball and a bag and tie him to it and allow him to fertilize the ocean with his remains. Either way is better than letting him continue to exhale CO2 into the atmosphere.
That turned out a little morbid actually. Originally when I read the title, I thought he should have children, but the I read he already had a daughter. So obviously since he has no regard for her future, and there weren't any more details about this sop in your message, it didn't appear that he was going to have any remaining use to the human race and he should probably be darwinized, perhaps before he does the same to the rest of humanity.
Of course there's a counter argument to everything he says, and your 39 year old boyfriend may yet live to see a time when a billion people need to be moved from their homes because of rising sea levels. And then will be a good time for you to look at your aging boyfriend and say, "I told you so."
So don't stab him, that would let him off too easy. Instead, a better idea would be to take a picture of him doing all the CO2 producing things he does and put it up on Flickr so future generations can know what not to do, and who to blame for their problems.

[Read the article: Microsoft-Yahoo again?: Investor Icahn tries to oust Yahoo board]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Wow, that's pitiful. Fricken' money grubbing, dirty ass, greed mongering twit. This is probably some guy that lives in a loft in Manhattan and doesn't have a clue what the word culture means, despite being immersed in it.
Not getting my vote.
