Ok, so I got a good chuckle out of this, but it is clearly an extreme exaggeration and if you have had *any* life experience whatsoever, you wouldn't open stuff like that. This is exactly the kind of thing my teenage son does because he doesn't know otherwise.

It's actually Toys "Я" Us.

This kind of rickety build quality is not limited to crappy Korean makes of yore. I once sat in a Maserati Spyder and accidentally broke some kind of center panel just by trying to open it. I could not imagine owning such a thing and paying thousands of dollars for various minor repairs. No. Thank. You.

Great. So, what if an attacker steals your iPhone and proceeds to impersonate you? This could be a great tool for a mass-murderer.

Here, let me Google that for you: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=pilsner+glass http://lmgtfy.com/?q=flute+glass

A "real" beer drinker wouldn't order beer that comes in a bottle.

Ya know, I'm pretty sick of seeing so many headphone reviews on Gawker sites. Not only that, but people throw around subjective terms like "depth", "presence", and "character" without really qualifying what they mean - this is exactly why I don't read AudioFile. Having "less bass and more resolution from background…

I don't mean to sound like a douche, but that is not how external audio interfaces work. If that was the case, then what is the point of this device? It's a mixer of some kind, it's an actual DAC/ADC (and a high quality one at that). Yes, the actual audio data will be processed by the iPad's DAW app, but the signal…

This IS the DAC.

This could work, but I wouldn't use it for "serious" audio or music production. However, I think if you have very limited space and a proper studio setup isn't possible (ya know, with a real analog mixer, quality channel strip, etc), this might actually be kind of cool, provided you had a decent condenser mic. It's…

I didn't believe it myself, but there was a hairline fracture in the mobo directly under the GPU chip itself (not sure if that was the actual COD or the solder joints you mentioned). Once I realized the chip was overheating, I monitored it constantly and it regularly pegged the temp monitor and was well over 120C…

I find it puzzling that the article mentions hibernate but not the standard sleep mode, which is what most computing devices do by default. I never fully shut down my computer unless I really really have to. This article should have explored the pros and cons of *all* of the possibilities, including full hibernation.

So Marshall is trying to get in on the home audio bandwagon, just like Fender making PA Systems and car audio (as can be found in the VW Passat). Though this is clearly marketing douchebaggery, I must admit these look irresistibly cool and I might buy one if the price was right, and if they used a real tube preamp.

This is not a game at all, but I used to spend so much time on these things having what I thought was "fun" (and it's the first thing that came to mind when I saw the circuit board chess above):

I think you're right in some ways. The younger generation (not mine) tends to see Scion as a "cooler" brand, i.e., not associated with those boring beige Camrys, ugly Siennas, and even uglier Priuses, which is precisely why Toyota needs a halo car like this.

I cringe when I read/hear "Porsche", "SUV", and "diesel" in the same sentence. It completely ruins the brand's image (as a Volkswagen or Audi, it's perfectly acceptable.). If they keep going in this direction, we can expect to see a diesel hybrid AWD 911 Carrera 4 available only with an automatic in the near future.…

*Yawn*. Yet another overweight, bloated, slow, "eco", boring corporate cash cow. I absolutely hate today's new cars.

Here in the USA, this is called the Scion FR-S, and for that reason, I and many others don't take it seriously. Toyota needs to get a clue and re-badge it as the Toyota GT86, damn it! By the way, it looks as if you are still having spam issues in your comments.

My vote was 1-2 hours, but with a caveat. I work from home 3 days a week, so my 1.5 hour commute (one way) is much more bearable; Therefore you could say my average commute for a 5-day week is 36 minutes. I would however, never trade this for an actual 36-minute daily commute. Being at home 3 days is week is…

Maybe it's because I've been using it for about 20 years, but Goldwave has always been my favorite. I hate Audacity - it may be powerful, but the controls are all wrong and unintuitive. Yes, a DAW is not an audio editor per se, but many of them do offer powerful editing features - for example, Samplitude has some of…
