I hate home printers too, but we seem to get these types of predictions that "gadget X will alter society in large and arbitrary ways" all the time, and they are never right.

That's not really a great counter-heckle, honestly. He basically says, "What did you say?" and gets cheered for it. :huh:

A poorly-written article about something dumb. The first sentence is a disaster of irrelevant detail and passive voice.
Really, just about any article from any tech website is going to blow, thinking about it.

I'm sure that no one will torrent the Veronica Mars movie, so digital download from Warner Bros. will be the only way to go, assuming this sentence will end, because I'm not sure it will, given how I'm writing it like the (so-called) tech article writer.
