Y'know, I could be wrong, but I don't think this conversation's about tablets anymore...

Except that people didn't hate "New Coke" - They did hundreds of thousands of blind taste tests, and 9,999/10,000 people preferred "New Coke". If they had quietly changed the recipe (Perhaps with just a "Now improved!" sticker) it would have gone down a storm, but instead they touted the who "New"ness of it and the…

I was going to say, I'm fairly sure this was around a fair while ago, which would make this patent application null and void due to "Prior Art".

Why even bother with the split ring? I mean, I heard from some website, (maybe you've heard of it, it's called lifehacker ( [lifehacker.com] )) that zipper closures on suitcases aren't exactly secure to start with. Though it has to be said, with Duct Tape, Clothespins and Baby Power, you're on the way to making a nice…

This. Why on earth would you want this? Faster the more scared you are = Slower the more complacent you are. If someone's getting complacent and used to the ride, the last thing you really want to do is make it easier for them.

It's SeaQuest DSV all over again!

It sounds to me like someone's been watching reruns of Due South

What do these things store their "swept" rubbish in? How are they emptied? Do they transfer the litter to the "mommy" (Not from what I could see). What guides them around the room? So. Many. Unanswered. Questions!

It works by taking a millimetre-accurate drawing of the room (From architectural plans), mapping the contours of the wood to fit exactly, then cutting the planks to both fit the grain, and to fit the shape of the room. It's not an off-the-shelf system, each floor is individually tailored, like making sure the…

DEPLETED Uranium. That means it's no longer radioactive. Hell, all you need to do is read the THIRD FREAKIN' SENTENCE of the SUMMARY! "This possible application for Uranium wouldn't pose any safety threats because any radioactive properties would be absent". I know reading is hard, but really? This was a summary of 6…

Cyanogenmod has been ported to the Cliq, as has GB (Heck, as has Honeycomb, though that's nowhere near usable).

Our local "Overstock/Factory Seconds/Refurbished goods" vendor recently (as in last week) advertised the Motorola Cliq (Not the Cliq XT) unlocked for $99. Good deal? I was tempted, and reviews of it at the time were favourable, so should I take the plunge? Given that it's a refurb anyway, the first thing I'd do is…

Hence why the US system (NTSC) was jokingly referred to (in Europe, which used PAL or Phase-Alternate Line, and has MUCH better picture and colour fidelity) as "Never Twice Same Color".

I can see a potential problem with gents sitting and peeing - Still have to touch the junk to ensure good aim for the bowl (Rather than, say, the gap between the bowl and the lid), which then leads to junk-funk on the touchscreen. Or am I the only guy that remains sitting to drain the lizard after releasing the…

Okay, so this can generate power from the electromagnetic energy in light without absorbing it. So what about putting this collector system in front of (say) a solar panel. That way you get even more energy out. EM energy, followed by power from the PV panel behind. Or using the concentrated heat when the light is…
