If only to keep reading and commenting on Whitson's and a few - a very few - other good writers' articles on LH and Giz, I'll probably become a "convert".

I understand that, and you're right, some space could be freed... but really, I still wonder what must-have could be added.

I'm with you on all this - the idea of absolutely needing email to show up instantly is on the same level as the "I deserve instant gratification" attitude that's become so pervasive - not unlike, say, complaining about a computer taking 30 seconds instead of 15 to boot. It's mind-boggling.

The day pressing a "refresh" button becomes a "technological hurdle" for me is the day I know I need to find a new life.

I most certainly don't want to appear to mock, but I'd think - I'd hope - that if anything potentially life-threatening was happening, I wouldn't, and nor would my healthcare provider, depend on someone reading an email.

Actually, given the creative capitalism used by all defense contractors - privatize profits, socialize losses - this probably won't even hurt LM's bottom line and profits. Their stock price is higher than it's been in a year, and it hasn't gone down either since the report was published.

From the image, I thought this was another Galaxy Tab version. I wonder if Samsung is going to sue Acer when it's done paying off Apple :)

"His team adjusted tens of thousands graphic elements"

Indeed and, even more to the point: what on Earth would we really need a few hundreds of cubic inch of extra space in a phone for? Can the "new" size actually make that much of a difference? Mind, boggles, etc.

That RR hearse is hideous. The side curve of the original falls slightly over the rear wheels arches, but the hearse addition goes up and down again. These images actually look like they'd belong on Photoshop Disasters.

"Only when other passengers let them use their credit cards could these passengers get into the hotel."

Where do you have to work for this to be "NSFW"? Westboro Baptist?

"the ink jet will use a small amount of ink when sitting idol"

What I would post privately would deserve the same level of protection as what I'd write in private emails. And I would certainly not accept a "friend" from my employer.

Ah, yes - I'm only scanning full-color pages, at medium settings to be sure, but there is little more compression to be possible beyond what you'd expect to get in your standard photo. And my latest scan was actually gray-scale, not text B&W, I realize now. I'll go and scan my face followed by my palm and mix the two…

(I could swear I saw this once before on Jalopnik already. Not that I mind seeing it again, because it's impressive enough to deserve more than one look, but now I'm worried I'm going senile.)

I don't wear heels (size 11.5s are a bitch to find in colors that go with my eyes) nor do I do cosplay. Yet I still clicked on this just to look at it more closely, and I am in awe. Ms B&B, many kudos to you.

Mr Gordon-Lewitt could read the phone-book and I'd still be enthralled.

But... that doesn't make any frigging sense? No-one would ever think of asking - or giving - away their login details for email (or even, say, commenting on Giz), so how can anyone think of ask for one's FB login?

Worst of all, it seems printers have a counter that make them stop working when you've printed a set number of pages, regardless if it still print more or not - this I learned form the very good (if disheartening) doc film The Light Bulb Conspiracy.
