Good point, Doc, and exactly what I was going to say. The only difference here would be that as a security guard, it's possible that his company had a policy or guideline regarding CPR, especially if an AED is available to the guard. If he's given the proper CPR/AED training, it could possibly mean he has a duty to…

There are very few reasons a judge or jury will find you negligent if you make an attempt at some sort of rescue and stop. Good Sammaritan laws prevent this from happening, thankfully.

I had a buddy of mine defibrillate himself on accident while I was standing there talking to him. I don't remember the joule setting he was on now, but his muscle contractions knocked him back about 3 feet and right into a wall where he slowly and comically slid down the wall to the floor where he sat half…

I think they both do some things wrong in many of their survival scenarios, but I prefer Les far more than I do Bear.

Personally, I was skeptical about the claims of computer glasses being of any help even after my wife purchased her glasses. I finally purchased them as a buy one get a discount on the second pair, deal, at Costco. This is where my wife purchased her glasses, as well. At this point, if I'm working or playing on my…

My computer glasses are nearly identical in look to my normal glasses. I actually have to look close when I pick them up to make sure I'm getting the glasses I want, if they are close to each other. Personally, I was skeptical about the claims of computer glasses being of any help even after my wife purchased her…

This might sound crazy, but I've had many tablets over the last couple of years. I have an iPad 2, Transformer Prime, 2 Galaxy Tab 7's (7 Plus and 7 2), 2 HTC Flyer tablets, the Kindle HD 8.9 tablet, and 2 cheap Archos tablets. I, as well as my wife, also have the Note II. Rounding out my tablet inventory is a Dell…

I'm rocking the Synergy ROM on my Sprint Note II, and I love it. It definitely seems to have a better battery life and run faster than the stock ROM. TrevE didn't seem to do much for the WiFi Tether for the Note II. It runs for a while then shuts down. I finally set the device profile as the SIII and it only works…

How does this compare to Kies Air on my Sammy devices?

Ahhh, forgive me, please. It was difficult to extract that from two words and an exclamation mark. Cheers...

Or it might be this bad because they guessed wrong on which virus we would see this year.

It could also be worse because they guessed wrong on which virus we would see this year. Personally, I don't take the shot very often. I work in health care and I've never had the flu when when I took the shot or when I didn't take the shot. For me, I can't tell the difference then between the years I took the shot…

What if I am given a cave, find some money, then bring some of it over to your cave and make an even exchange after calculating the currency conversion?

Whew, made it!

I just grabbed the 1.1 version of the file and will be trying it on my Sprint Note II. You wouldn't think the Note would have lag, and for the most part it doesn't. The only real lag I experience is with Widget Locker. When I turn on the screen, and my phone is in one orientation and I change the orientation, there…

-1 for the unnecessary vitriol. He's one of the best and most prolific posters on io9.

"because of the way iOS is designed, safari will always be the "best" browser"

I'm not so sure about the shoelaces...

I have an iPad 2 and a Transformer Prime. I'll say this, that despite some of the issues with my Prime, like the non-working GPS, and the wifi signal which seems weaker than my iPad, I still prefer my Prime over my iPad. The keyboard is the biggest reason, along with being able to use my wireless mouse. My…

I have a supervisor who has started berating me for some health issues which have arisen over the the last 5 years. I have no control over these health issues and have missed some work in the last year because of them. He's told me twice in the last 2 weeks that I'm in the wrong job and perhaps I should find…
