Maybe if the barcode was the toothpaste, I'm not going down two flights of stairs to turn off an alarm. But then of course what would happen is the store would be out of our usual brand one day, and I'll grab a different kind, and won't be able to shut off my alarm

I had to explain them to people even when they were in common use. The saddest one for me though is Coaxial cable: "What's coaxial?" It's the round cable that delivers the broadcast signal to your TV. "Oh the CABLE cable!"

Well if it was a wine tasting, you'd smell a handful of coffee beans to cleanse your sense of smell or some BS like that

I get my live TV from an attic antenna. 8 HD stations are free OTA where I live. That's more live TV than I actually watch. I mainly have it so I can watch the news during big events, and sometimes my son watches cartoons.

I'm with you, I really want to like it. I installed it on a first gen AppleTV last year but I got nothing out of it. It was fiddlier than I wanted it to be. Hulu might be nice, but it's US-only, so its effectively vapourware for the rest of the world. Netflix is awesome but I can currently get Netflix on my PS3 or a…

But Instagram also saves a copy of the pic to your phone's camera roll, where, for me at least, it ends up with all the rest of my images by way of photostream; previously it got imported with the rest when I plugged it in.

The potential for laws like this are the main reason I get antsy about things like Google's Real Name policy

The response to this should be that websites who value free speech should geoblock Arizona, if that's possible. I know you can geoblock whole countries, so why not a state? People in Arizona will only see a notice saying something like "This site has opted not to expose its non-Arizona users to liability under…

I use my waffle iron almost weekly. To make waffles!

iTunes music isn't DRM protected. Unless you bought it more than 5 years ago, of course. But for newer stuff, no DRM. it's just in a proprietary format. Under the "advanced" menu, you'll find a "Convert to MP3" option which will do obvious things. You can then do whatever you like with the resulting MP3.

We used to call that the Sh!t sandwich.

So you're saying that the flushable diaper inserts don't work as advertised?

"good seal between the plunger and the bowel"

Try that in a Delorean and you'll REALLY get there ten minutes earlier

I make up a rhyming couplet that I will remember. For this case I'll just borrow one

If you have kids, now they can keep their gummy fingers off your fancy phone. If you have a toddler like I do, I can't recommend the Fisher Price iPhone case enough: [www.fisher-price.com]

It would probably be easier to buy a set of family band radios [en.wikipedia.org]

Eye-fi will want wi-fi or access to another phone. Just use Photostream with iCloud, or the Google+ app with the auto-upload feature turned on.

I agree, my first iPod was a shuffle and I still use it for the gym and similar activities where I don't want to carry a huge phone around, like mowing the lawn

Of course in a marriage situation the rules change completely. I find it's easier on my state of mind to just pick up the stray item and put it away than it is to stew about it or complain that the stray item was left out.
