You can hear the droning of an early morning talk show as you move around the apartment.  The studio audience cued laughs and animated voices of the talking heads are interspersed with short news segments and op ed pieces.  Thinking to look for your cat where you normally feed him, you enter your dimly lit kitchen and turn on the overhead fluorescent light.<br/><br/>It's not a small kitchen by Manhattan standards -- large enough for a small table and two chairs.  You haven't had very much time to spend in the kitchen in so long with everything that has been happening in your life.  These musings are interrupted by a troubling discovery -- not only is your cat not here, his food bowl and water are also simply<em>missing</em>.  You frown and rub your sleepy morning eyes, wondering if you had perhaps forgotten to take the bowls out of the sink where you might have washed them.  Idly calling quietly for Axel, you leave the kitchen and head back into the bedroom where you can get dressed while trying to remember what on Earth you did with his food bowls.<br/><br/>Something from the television catches your ear and you sit on the end of the bed watching as you pull on your clothes for the day.  The talking heads are discussing some news about Rift Oculon, Inc,<em>the</em>competitor to VRS, and so you listen intently.  Though the details are predictably vague, they seem to be hinting that RO has leaked a demo of an early prototype of their own VRS and that by all accounts, they seem to have stumbled on something utterly revolutionary.<br/><br/>Just then you hear a familiar meow and Axel jumps onto your lap and begins kneading your thigh with his sharp claws.  You turn to scold him but still rub him behind his ears.  When you turn back to the television, they are now discussing Robin Thicke's new album.  Curious about what RO might be up to, you file away the thought that you'll have to follow up on this at work today.<br/><br/>~~<br/><br/>You can:<br/><br/>A.  Hurriedly feed Axel and rush out the door to work.<br/><br/>B.  Turn on your laptop and see if there is anything on Engadget about RO's leaks.<br/><br/>C.  Watch some more TV and pet your cat before you try to do anything else.
