Isn't cork kind of a *really* renewable resource? You don't even have to kill the tree to harvest it.

The thing is... the Rift doesn't have/need much of an interface. It's just a display/sdk. The interface is provided by developers.

"According to an anonymous person not offering any further details, Facebook plans to put their logo and name on a product they own, and redesign a product that's still just a prototype developed without the benefit of billions of dollars in capital."

Ahh. Gotcha. :)

If that's the case, then what's causing the value of the lump sum to increase?

Negative. Northern California. No baby on the way. Never been to AZ. :)

That was kind of the question I had in reading that section: did the article's author take into account inflation and potential money earned via (even modest) investments possible with the lump sum? I would imagine they wouldn't overlook these, but neither were mentioned, as far as I can tell (unless that's what the…

Yeah, the budget he lists is a bit off. The bluetooth module alone is $12.50, plus $7.50 per speaker, you're going to be way over $15. That might have been his costs, having some of the parts laying around, but most of us won't.

It does, actually. Its implementation is just screwy. You usually have to close the book out back to the shelf for it to save your current page to "the cloud" or whatever. It should save bookmarks/notes, too.

Same here. Browse to epub in dropbox, open in iBooks. Done.

Same here. Mostly.

"Getting rid of" bacon grease? Why would you do such a terrible thing?

My grandparents taught me this when I was a little kid. I just always figured it was the way you treated bee stings. Unfortunately, I pretty much never have meat tenderizer around (who does? Does anybody actually use that stuff anymore?)

I had to get a little creative with mine. Every cool TLD use I could come up with to fit my name was taken, so I stripped out the vowels and went with http://thsjst.in

We really should have expected it. Popularity rarely coincides with quality, I'm afraid. :(

That's pretty cool. If you do this, though, I'd suggest your website be (to keep your example) something like: Wa.lterGlenn.com (since lterGlenn.com is a kind of weird domain).

Wow. That's a bit of a stretch, I think. (The Kardashians thing)

Right, but that doesn't help much when it runs out of water two hours into the night while you're sleeping.

Great, except that it only pulls water from the top what, 2-3" of the bottle?

This is a cool project, and I found myself thinking "Oh! Great! I could crack that out this weekend!"

Then I remembered that I already have bluetooth in my car, and this, while cool, and would add a wifi network to my car (which I now realize is of questionable value), would lose my steering wheel controls.
