FLO TV - Live Mobile TV

Back in the ancient ages, we had a device called a small TV. You could take this small device, and watch TV wherever you were as long as you had enough batteries or an AC outlet, and a TV signal.

FLO TV is basically selling people portable TVs that only work if you pay for the signal. Why not just buy a portable HDTV and watch it for free? This makes absolutely no sense.

On sleep deprivation and Incan Monkey Gods

From: Dilbert comic strip for 08/03/1992 from the official Dilbert comic strips archive. I was trying to show this strip to a coworker who is dangerously toying with the harsh mistress that is Insomnia. What shocked me is how quickly I was able to look up the strip, which was published when he was just 11 years old, and two weeks before my just-out-of-college ass shipped out to US Army Basic Training.

The Black Hole

If this was a minigolf hole, you can't reach B from A. Ever. If this was a room lined with mirrors, and you lit a candle at point A, you can't see it from B, not even reflected. Update: I guess I didn't explain this all the way through. You can't reach B from A with just one stroke, there's no direct line between them, and there is no way to bounce the ball (assuming perfect conditions). Thanks to Ben for pointing this obvious error.
