Yeah sure, but it's more expensive. Still, we have a good deal on it: https://deals.ohgizmo.com/s...

Yeah man, I hear you. Funny to see there's a robust market for unnecessary things...

Hi Brianadams…

I know what you're saying, but I'm gonna stand behind Hazel's post. Even though 70% of the stuff here is product oriented tech, we're trying to include things that are going viral online, as well as items that might appeal to some geeks and even, gasp, girls. I know we don't put out a ton of content, but I like to think of it as a nice change of pace now and then. :)

Well I live in Canada, where our summers aren't that bad. But if I ever see it on shelves, I'll give it a try, sure. :)

Hahaha. I'm like the middle aged parent trying to use his kid's lingo all wrong. :-/

Re: Well… That Was Fast

Haha. My bad. I was referring to Disney's recent purchase of Lucasfilm and the Star Wars franchise, and how it didn't take long for someone to make a T-shirt in the honor of the new union.
Sorry for the lack of context, I just (wrongly) assumed everyone would know what I was talking about.

I guess I forgot to mention that you'd have to check the knife part of it, but if you forget, you'll only lose that and nothing else. The company making the case plans on manufacturing inexpensive knife replacements.

I... have just been schooled. So, I'd really like to know, which liquor is good to drink with the glass above? Cognac?

Hi Ryan,

I agree... this is what they send me. I'll talk to then and see about some variety.

Re: Tactus Display Has Physical Buttons That Appear And Disappear At Will

Hey Supergooman,

I feel terrible for the boys in Waterloo, I'm not going to lie. I'm sorry you feel my comments were hateful but if you read them again you'll notice they're just factual. It's sad, but RIM's business is hurting and has been for a while. And I believe it's partly due to their over reliance on having a tactile keyboard. They're realizing it now and trying to fix things with Balckberry 10, but it really might be too little too late.

Thanks Jon, I fixed it.

Wow... I had no idea. That's really shocking, actually.

Re: How To Brick Your Tesla

dponce80 — Thu, 23 Feb 2012 03:34:03 -0000

I get what you're saying, and this is roughly what Tesla is saying. True. But here's the problem. This is NOT a well known thing. I for one, didn't know that this could happen if I let my iPhone or laptop completely discharge. Frankly, I'm a little skeptical. But even if you're right, I still think it's a fact that electric cars are a new category of vehicles and that owner education is very important. In an attempt to not scare potential buyers off, Tesla is being very timid about its warnings, and how serious this can be.

Remember, it's one thing to drive 50,000 miles without changing the oil. After nearly 100 years of people owning combustion cars, it's become common knowledge that you don't do this. You do, however, leave your car off for long periods all the time. People have gotten used to doing this and not expect to come back to a brick. So there should be an even greater incentive to properly educate new owners of just how bad it can be. Transitioning to electric won't be easy, but I'm not sure Tesla is going about it the right way.

Incidentally, there's a lot of context I'm not mentioning in my article for lack of space. But do read Jalopnik's and you might understand a little better why all the outrage.

Re: Recoil Winders Is A Brilliant Idea To Combat Cable Clutter

dponce80 — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 14:14:21 -0000

Lol. I think the difference is that this one is detachable. Watch the video. Most cable rewinders stay attached to the cable they are rewinding. This one can be used with anything.

Lol... Something like that. We ran out of Evan, who was in charge of that feature. Nice to know you remember. :)

Lol. You're funny. So... when someone says "I'm gonna paint the town red."... this means that they're gonna need lots of red paint, huh? They're Brits; they use a different dialect. I hope you know this...
You're equating using an expression on Twitter to screaming fire in a packed theater or Bomb! in an airport? Really?
You must be a lot of fun at parties.

Re: [CES 2012] Basis Wristwatch One-Ups FitBit And Company

dponce80 — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 05:04:09 -0000

I did do some research. And I think you misunderstood Fitbit. The "metrics" they give you are inferred from only two data streams: altimeter and accelerometer. The Basis has that as well as a thermometer, a galvanometer and a heart sensor. This is possible because unlike the Fitbit, the Basis wristwatch rests against your skin.
