Wow. Has this blogger even BEEN to Atlanta before / after / during the olympics? Honestly, I don't believe so. Let me give you the real story.

Atlanta was beautiful during the olympics. The city was packed with people, and everything was clean. "Underground Atlanta" was a shopping district that was revived for the olympics, and it was a hot hangout spot during the events.

Now fast forward to today... The neighborhood with the coke museum and aquarium, which the author references, is covered with homeless people and litter. It's literally a pretty unsafe place to hang out. The "underground atlanta" shopping mall is in complete disrepair. Most of the cute restaurants that used to be there are now closed down. Instead, this "underground" mall conveniently houses many homeless.

As far as Buckhead being nice, it certainly is, but to me that's an example of people leaving the city of Atlanta because of how bad it has gotten, and turning a cute suburb into its own mini-city. People in the city have moved farther and farther away from the city center, giving Atlanta some of the worst traffic in the USA.

Seriously - there is nothing charming about Atlanta anymore. If you're going to visit, you can certainly have a nice weekend there w/ a few tourist attractions (coke museum, MLK's old house, aquarium, etc), but you won't want to spend much time in the city - that's for sure.

I think it's almost funny that the author highlights how the city has progressed since the olympics, because in the opinion of myself and most of my peers, the olympics was the turning point for the city, and it has been worse off ever since.

Am I stupid? I don't get it... It has a "DVR function" but you are plugging it into your TiVo... so you have two DVRs? I'm not getting it. Their website says it has the features of a TiVo already, but there doesn't appear to be a cablecard slot. :-(

I'm a huge Worms fan... but they really haven't done enough to update this title. I'm guessing this price drop is a last minute attempt to sell some copies before they announce a newer version of Worms, which I'll likely end up buying....

Will this recharge my rayovac hybrids? I love those.

Fascinating stuff - what is the technology for this? On US domestic carriers, they communicate with the ground and use typical cell 3G service for wifi... this is overseas...

I mean they're not really stolen. They give you the shampoo bottles and they don't re-use them with the next guests!

Very cool phone - very lame event. Was this necessary? Google announced this all at I/O!

This is great news - I actually prefer meego to android.

To fix this, you need to make sure you do not have a numeric passlock. I know it sounds weird, but this is the fix for it. Bizarre. My gf was having this problem. anyhow, she took it back - the glass was separating, the infinite boot loops in the beginning, and the awful battery life. She wanted to return it within the 30 day period.

my gf took her evo back....
