It's nice that you mention this but it would have also been nice to mention Brooklyn native Peter Steele from Type O Negative (all Brooklyn natives who still live in NYC) passing away last week. NY Ti...

CDMA is actually a better technology but did not become as easily adopted as GSM. CDMA is more prevalent in Asia than Europe, the US has both. http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/C/CDMA.html...

Well some of them that know and don't tip are clearly in the wrong. However, I do know some people, in my personal experience, that truly didn't know and they also didn't know that the pay is less bec...

Many people overseas don't tip because they don't know they are supposed to. I have had to tell friends from Europe to tip when they've been visiting. They're not trying to rip anyone off, they simp...

Trying to "beat the light" is not unique to NYC, nearly everyone rushes through yellow lights that I've ever seen. It's a good rule of thumb, especially in a busy intersection like that, to wait for ...

His defense is preposterous! The cat was declawed for the love of god! If he can do that to a cat, he can potentially do that to a person, get him off the streets, pls....

Unlike Starbucks, Dunkin Donuts are franchises so they are also locally owned and operated. Don't any of these studies into chains account for that? Perhaps in today's environment, some people prefe...

Thank you, Jonathan, for your "keep in mind" points - it also somewhat addresses the quote up there from Phyllis Yampolsky which I was just about to refute. The community was content to let it sit th...
