I'm debating whether to buy a new phone (Droid 4; tactile keyboard is great for the long work emails I often have to send) or a new 40-50" LED TV. I generally opt out of the upgrade treadmill, preferring to buy products that aren't bleeding edge, then bringing them to the far side of their usefulness with software…

Don't forget about the older generations as well, most of which can't be bothered to even try playing a console game. Look at Angry Birds download statistics; more people play games on their phones/tablets/ipods than any other platform.

Who needs the fancy electronic components?

It simply isn't possible yet to engineer a tiny robot that works this well in the conditions they are expecting it to. Also, battery life.

Oh, a celebrity worth tens of millions of dollars and no young children at home who want to play Angry Birds doesn't feel the need to put a case on his phone? I'm fucking shocked.

Because everyone on the internet is from the USA. Duh.

$1 a piece on ebay within 3 months, guaranteed.

I would also add that this IPO stunt put Facebook on many, many individual's stock tickers. Whenever it does eventually bottom out, the awareness will be so high that I can see it growing very well.

Yep, the USA isn't the beautiful and unique snowflake we were all raised to think of it as.

I've always wondered about the appeal of wireless charging. I generally use the hell out of my phone while it is charging, so I would need it plugged in anyways, and I'm not going to unplug it and set it on a charging pad just before I go to sleep just for the novelty.

Nobody is saying this is a replacement for the professionals who require the $2,000 to $10,000 professional units. This is, however, perfectly satisfactory for a homeowner looking to optimize their home for winter.

That is quite possible.

You must be a fucking blast at parties. When you're not busy recovering from a stress-induced stroke, that is.

I know people who go to google.com to type in "youtube" or "facebook", like some strange favorites launcher. They see the homepage dozens of times every day.

Why in the holy mother of fuck did they include speakers on a machine built to operate on a barren planet?

I'm going to take a stab in the dark and assume NASA took radiation into account when designing these.

Hell, it's more than charity. This guy is getting crucified for something nearly all of us do, or have done, many times. We should all be stepping up to soften the blow.

That is a fantastic idea. I would gladly toss $10 at such a campaign. This is the modern equivalent of a public execution, and it sickens me.

Good to see they are hanging in there and pushing into the new and sprouting industry of applying ink to dead trees. Someday nearly 20% of homes could own a deskjet printer again!
