Best thing about Colbert is that when he nails it, he nails it.
I feel like Colbert is one of the best examples of religious you can ever get. He’s Catholic. He’s one of 11 kids. He teaches SUNDAY SCHOOL. And it never comes off like he’s judging you because you don’t follow his exact path.
I’m an atheist, and I feel like Colbert gets me in a lot of ways. It means a lot.
Love Stephen Colbert.
One of my always-reblogs.

Canonical säkrar avtal med tillverkare – Ubuntu-mobil kommer nästa år
by Lars A
Canonical kommer släppa en påkostad Ubuntu-mobil nästa år. Mark Shuttleworth berättar att avtal säkrats med tillverkare och att det Linux-baserade operativsystemet kommer köras på toppmodeller 2014.
Shuttleworth avslöjar inte vilka hårdvaruföretag Canonical samarbetar med men berättar att de för samtal med fyra kända tillverkare som ”säljer många telefoner över hela världen, i nya marknader och i etablerade, till företag och konsumenter”.
Monstermobilen Ubuntu Edge nådde aldrig sitt finansieringsmål. En liknande mobil är dock sannolikt att vänta från Canonical nästa år. Det innebär konvergens och kraftfull hårdvara – en telefon som kan användas både som mobil och som stationär dator. Enligt Shuttleworth kommer det vara väldigt enkelt för Androidutvecklare att släppa sina appar för båda plattformarna.
The look is fresh and clean. It’s much more usable than any of the other new phones.

If a girl is to do the same superman thing where he takes off his disguise, we just look pervy. Not the same effect
First of all: bullshit.
Secondly: If you are not doing the Linda Carter spin, then you’re doing it wrong.
I’ve fallen in love
I certify this 100% Amazonian and awesome.

Why You Should Never Be Afraid to Negotiate a Higher Salary
by Melanie Pinola
Few of us enjoy the salary negotiation process, whether we're asking for a raise or interviewing for a new job. Recruiters and employer surveys, however, suggest that not only do companies expect you to negotiate, it might make you seem like a better candidate.
