Researchers Who Provided Key Evidence For Gluten Sensitivity Have Now Thoroughly Shown That It Doesn't Exist - http://www.businessinsider.com/gluten-...
"The subjects cycled through high-gluten, low-gluten, and no-gluten (placebo) diets, without knowing which diet plan they were on at any given time. In the end, all of the treatment diets — even the placebo diet — caused pain, bloating, nausea, and gas to a similar degree. It didn't matter if the diet contained gluten." - Kevin (aka ThreadKilla)

iPhone biometric earbud hoax proves, once again, that people will believe - and media will “report” - any crazy ass rumor about Apple.

I love that a) people are standing that close commenting about how the street is still cracking and b) how they've been calling to complain about this for years, have loads of pictures, and the people just keep throwing in more dirt and calling it fixed. - Jennifer Dittrich
80º in April in Seattle. We have some years (OK, most years) where you’re lucky to see 80º in August.
It’s spring fever time in Seattle. Where productivity and the temperature have an inverse relationship.
Larry Ellison, Oprah Could Buy Clippers - Business Insider - http://www.businessinsider.com/larry-e...
Somehow I don't think replacing Donald Sterling with Larry Ellison is going to be much of an upgrade in the social consciousness department. - Kevin (aka ThreadKilla)
Realizing that Lync-Skype integration is more myth than reality at this point. Especially for Mac Lync users.
Dear Yankee fans: Robinson Cano is a sellout? Ellsbury, McCann, Teixiera, Sabbathia, etc., etc, etc. say “hi.”
Shhhh. It's not selling out when you go *to* the Yankees; it's pursuing a chance to win a ring. - Bren
So What Were Those Secret Flying Wing Aircraft Spotted Over Texas? - http://foxtrotalpha.jalopnik.com/so-what...
This new photo, taken in Wichita, Kansas by photographer Jeff Templin a few weeks ago, shows a triangular planform twin engine aircraft with some detail. His report of the sighting states that the aircraft was executing s-turns high overhead, with no sound coming from the craft at all. - Kevin (aka ThreadKilla)

LOL Michael Pineda. Enjoy the 10-game vacation.
So, Apple beat their guidance today. I’m sure that’s somehow bad.
Bad? Catastrophic. =p - rønin
Is there any more doubt that Clay Buchholz is pitching hurt? He’s had no velocity since his DL stint last year. And very hittable. #RedSox
If you could take a trip to a single (earth-bound) destination and cost was not an object, where would you go? Say you only had a couple of weeks to travel...
I'd stay right here, unless it was a forced calling to the bucket list. - OCoG of FF, Jimminy

Appeals court says blogs are not only media, they're an important source of news and public commentary. http://gigaom.com/2014...
Letterpress is broken. This makes me sad.
People of earth, hear me: Setup is NOT a verb.
If 3D is failing on TVs, why in the world does anyone think it will succeed on phones?
Because it has been fairly successful on handheld gaming devices? Also, much lower entry point for cost. - Jennifer Dittrich
Wait, the History Channel has shows about things other than Nazis and aliens? - Chris Topher

Still waiting for all of those websites affected by the Heartbleed vulnerability to let me know my security may have been compromised. No?
I've gotten two such notifications today. - Ken Gidley
I've had a few -- the major outstanding one for me is Netflix; LastPass shows them as vulnerable, but no word yet. [Wunderlist is a 'to do' list app developer -- they got a lot of press a couple of years ago. I've got an old account there, but the password isn't used for anything else.] - Jennifer Dittrich
No, the Comcast/Time Warner merger filing didn't "reveal" anything about Apple's set top plans. Nothing more than Apple has said publicly.
Game of Thrones HBO: Which episodes portray which chapters from A Song of Ice and Fire? - http://www.slate.com/article...
Game of Thrones is back, and gone are the simple days of “one season, one book.” The showrunners have split the third book into two seasons, and, what’s more, the show’s episodes are synchronizing less and less with chapters from the books, as the chart below, created by Reddit user JoelTone and based on data from the Game of Thrones wiki, illustrates. - Kevin (aka ThreadKilla)
They've already gotten how Martin plans on ending it. Should old boy keel over between now and then, we'll get an ending he made himself. - Akiva
HBO has officially said there will be only 7 seasons of GoT. So, given that they've already split AFFCs into two seasons and ADWDs is even longer, there's going to have to be some consolidation of the written works to fit the series length. - Kevin (aka ThreadKilla)
My guess, and I hope I’m wrong, is that they’ll have a few more seasons and then tack on a LotR-sized trilogy or so of movies to round the whole thing out. - Akiva
Let's Help Find This Awful Toddler-Killing Pickup Driver - http://jalopnik.com/lets-he...
In Dekalb County, GA, a driver of a white Toyota pickup popped a curb, hit two toddlers, then stopped to chuck a beer bottle out the window before driving away. It's hard to think of any series of actions more awful. Let's find this bastard. - Kevin (aka ThreadKilla)

Realized today that running at this age is more a mental exercise than anything else. First few minutes, figure out what's going to hurt most; next few minutes, see if it's going to be bearable; remainder of run, try not to think about it.
With Jeter’s defense, Sabbathia’s pitching and Teixiera’s power, the #Yankees are going to be just fine. Oh, wait...
