@Rigo: I'm a physics major.
I am well aware of XKCD's wetriffs, and the sheer shock that arose when it didn't exist. And was subsequently created by XKCD.
I choose to ignore the "rules" because I try to avoid the site they come from.
"Lock up your girlfriends, lock up your wives, Grim's on the loose so run for your lives." - Pyrite@Loni: I'm a squeamish bastard with regards to medical diagrams. I know enough of how the body works, but the diagrams and the sheer clinical treatment of things makes me blanch rather easily. /shrug/ Always has.
"Lock up your girlfriends, lock up your wives, Grim's on the loose so run for your lives." - PyriteSaw bothers me.
Repo The Genetic Opera made me laugh my ass off.
It's very much context dependent.
And clinical stuff makes me squeamish because it makes me acutely aware of things in my own body. Reading how the juices and gases in your knuckles are what allows you to "crack" your knuckles, in like grade 8, made me incredibly lightheaded.
I loathe Apple on the basis of the sheer insanity of their claims about how if they made iPhones in the states they'd cost thousands of dollars.
I've seen the economic analysis. If they upped the price by 20% - that is, a $300 phone becomes $360 - they could maintain exactly the same profit margin in a modern, automated factory with fewer workers, North American employment and wages, and much lower human cost and suffering.
They're full of shit and a terrible company as far as human rights and standards go. I own an iPod, but I've had it for five years and never intend to replace it. It was also a gift.
If RIM were releasing a computer OS any time soon, I'd be all over it, as I'm sick of Windows and Mac in general. I use Windows purely because I play games. If Ubuntu could handle it all, I'd use it exclusively.

Its one of the rules of the internet. If you spontaneously think of a fetish it already exists and there is a whole site dedicated to it.
