In all seriousness though, Lie To Me and House MD are too much alike. They're both about an antisocial genius - played by an Englishman - who slag their sidekicks all the time and use their awesome scientific skills to solve puzzles (which can be a crime or a disease) despite the fact that everybody lies their arses off. I just tend to think the drama is better in Lie To me, and the science bit is also better depicted.
However, I'd be more than prepared to say it's a bit of a rip-off though. The similarities are just too numerous to mention And, I don't usually swear but... fuck! I'm both excited and terrified about the series of lectures I'm going to give starting tomorrow night. Some of my most awesome former professors/colleagues have signed up for the course

God, sometimes I really hate living in this hell hole. Decided to compare the prices of iPods here and in the US, just to check a little something...
iPod Nano 16 GB (US): U$ 149.00
iPod Nano 16 GB (BR): U$ 355.00 (they even point out we pay U$ 146 in taxes alone).
Wow.

I found out the other day they sell their stupid USB chargers for like, $30.
It's not just iPods. Think of any electronic device. Shirts. Manufactured goods, including cars. Everything is outrageously more expensive here, even though our GDP per capita is not even close to that of developed nations.

Unfortunately, it applies to nearly everything. And my iPod is broken.

A most excellent chance then for you to throw it away, break up with apple, throw away your old phone as well and pick up some android device (an old Galaxy S will do just fine) to replace both so that marie will stop bugging you about when exactly are you going to start using whatsapp

I can't throw it away just yet! I need a player that supports audiobook chapters
Cant recommend anyone of these from personal experience since i dont listen to audiobooks on my phone, only music and podcasts and i use Zplayer for that.
