I just think it's cool to wave a phone at a terminal. It's a lot easier to accidentally lose a plastic card than to accidentally forget something you're habitually checking every 3 minutes. I used Google Wallet for a while, but because the infrastructure isn't in place (due in part to the fact that the iPhone doesn't…

GOD.

A patent claim has to be one sentence? That's completely arbitrary. And if it isn't completely evident why that's a ridiculous limitation that just promotes comically convoluted language as ways to get around that arbitrary and pointless limitation, I don't know how to explain it.

Notice how the lines get brighter when the elements overlap in perspective - like when a line of "Hyper" moves perpendicular to the view? Yep, that was done using a vector-graphic display of the time. Those displays, instead of showing individual pixels, actually trigger the scanning beam of the CRT to move to those…

The fuck kinda screwed-up rule is that? OK, that needs to change.

>looks just like that finger

Words like "same great X, new low price" set off my "marketing bullsh!t" alert so loud I think I almost went deaf.

Leave it to an F-16 pilot to call out the BS. Those guys know what's up. Case in point: they chose F-16s. Anyone else? Enjoy your craptacular dual-engine maintenance nightmare.

Price.

Using an iPhone 4S (emphasis on the "S")? The 4S got a major camera/sensor/lens upgrade and previous iPhones look tragic by comparison. No joke, they really set the 4S apart in terms of camera. I've got a 4S from work and it does _all_ my photography now, I don't even see a use for my old point-n-shoot cameras. Just…

Oh, to hell with you and that animated GIF header image. *shakes fist*

View askew.

Point is, look where they are now. Facebook always has been "hello, you're posting this stuff here... there's no Facebook crew assigned to you that automatically posts this stuff on your profile on your behalf... YOU ARE POSTING IT", and that's kinda the whole point of Facebook. I never was even the slightest iota…

Eco-geek Obama and his fans approve.

I must be the only person on the planet bending over backwards to make sure my Facebook posts [facebook.com] *are* public, because I've got nothing to hide and I honestly enjoy hearing from random people on my posts. Took some digging to find the options to open public comments.

Wow, way to sensationalize the crap out of this Paparazzi article there, MTV... er... Gizmodo.

I see what you're stuck on, and unfortunately a lot of people stumble on the same tired old pitfalls of "why not to buy an EV" as well. See, you're still stuck on chemical energy density, when it's an entirely different and completely non-comparable type of measurement. You can't recharge gasoline... which is a…

Well, I do agree... we're not going to out-and-out "run out" of oil full-stop. But there is going to be a major paradigm shift in the way humanity consumes oil, because we are going to reach a point where oil no longer gushes from wells, and it all has to be "mined" like tar sands oil, at great environmental costs.…

Electric cars. Because in 100 years, fossil fuels will be in a completely different state than they are today - it's a well-known fact that we are running out of oil, and in 100 years we are not going to be driving gas-powered cars. Period. End of discussion.
