@Pickaxe: I have a PC and my 'workspace' is a tip - but it's more of a man-cave really.

@aThingOrTwo: they may get the figures right for laptops and the iPad but the iPhone has a reputation for poor battery life.

How can you compare the battery life of an iPhone, which is a single device (well, two if you count the 8GB 3GS but I'm guessing that's not what you're looking at in this case) and Android, which is an OS, not a phone?

@JohnnyricoMC: yeah but on Giz they're referred to as 'staff' ;-)

I skipped Vista.

@sammy baby: you're too kind :-)

@mr_bigglesworth: I just feel that, editorials aside, Engadget's articles are more new whereas articles on Giz are more opinion.

@saicode: yeah, I'm living proof - banned from Giz for a truly ridiculous reason but still posting away on LH.

@grewal12: LH is for people who are capable of forming their own opinions, Giz is not - because if you dare to have and express your own opinion on Giz, you get banned.

@comodidit: LH are posting the interesting stuff so those of us with good taste don't have to read Giz.

@stuartny: name, check.

@heath: yeah, that was my reaction.

@Step666: also, I guess I'm pretty safe from public searches because if you Google my name, what happens is Google auto-'corrects' the spelling (it doesn't even offer up the 'Showing results for 'x', click here to see results for 'y'' bit at the top of the page).

What information are you all putting on facebook that it's a security risk?

Rip everything to FLAC and mp3 - FLAC for use with my computer, mp3 for portable use.

@TriplerSDMB: no worries.

@TriplerSDMB: that's a start page, it's completely different.

@Nihilexistentialist: '... in a world with foobar... I don't have a need for anything else.'

Foobar and VLC.

Other: absolutely not - not because I don't want/need another gadget, merely that I only stick to useful electronics.
