Seems like a lot of people here are unaware of the fact that most of what we think is taste is actually smell. You'd basically be giving up two senses.

This is an entirely predicable, totally preventable death of a person with too much money/time and not enough of an understanding of statistics. 1 in 10 people die trying to climb the Everest summit. It is moronic to take that kind of risk when you have children to look after. It is so self-centered to put his…

I think in theory these things are OK but in practice a lot of problems can crop up. The companies that run these systems negotiate brutal contracts that leaves them with most of the profit, not the municipality. In some instances, the length of the yellow light has been shortened which increases the number of…

Yeah what next, a law against disturbing the peace? You are right Piedmont Bob, people should be able to make as much noise as they want without any consideration of how it affects other people. Next they'll want to make it illegal to hold a cell phone conversation during a movie! I wish everyone could see it as…

Nope. This would only be true if you were traveling faster than the speed of sound. It shortens the wavelength and raises the frequency. The amplitude remains unchanged.

It would be very easy to tell which packs contained the video cards, right? All you would need is a tiny rare-earth magnet in your hand and you could scan all the packs relatively quickly. Aren't trading cards essentially worthless now anyway? Baseball cards certainly are, last I checked.

A simple gut-check shows something to be terribly wrong about this article. You get five of these cards for $20. So for four dollars you will get a color screen, battery, ability to play sound, two gigabytes of storage, and NBA licensed content? That cannot possibly be correct.

"He spoke calmly and consumed Cheetos." My new tombstone epitaph.

My prediction is that these comments will be composed of a lot complaints about the tenuous extrapolation from "Facebook's messaging system does not work" to "Facebook is a failure". Then lots of banning.

As a fellow Apple fanboy, I have to say your comment is giving us a bad name.

What is the point of a trial when everyone agrees he is guilty? Who would hold the trial, the world court? This is how is has been done and will be done in the future.

Look at that cartoon brownie. Is that the face of a brownie that has taken melatonin? No. That little guy is faded.

You could probably rinse this off, so I think it would work fine for your purposes.

For camel toes, not muffin tops.

This comment was the featured comment in the blog view. Just saying.

I am pretty happy with the free offerings from Slacker Radio and Pandora. I am tempted to try this out but would like to hear the pros/cons before I drop $3 on it. Care to share your experiences, Hype Machinists?

I'm not going to let my complete lack of need for an axe to prevent me from getting this.

Sounds pretty clever until you realize these are the same business geniuses who tried to pay 6 billion dollars for a Groupon. A coupon site. Six. Billion. Dollars.

We have to have this talk every time something with an abnormally high price is posted. It is only expensive if you don't have a lot of money. To rich people, it doesn't matter. Sure there are cheaper alternatives, but some people dont care about cost. The manufacturers know this. Everything will be OK.
