@bobdowns: Root, install Cyanogen.

@icemanforever: Actually, HUDs are cheap and easy. All it takes is a bright LCD and a piece of reflective material on the windshield (like light window tint).

@verspasian: I usually have my phone plugged in when driving.

@Psiu! Puxa!: Your 244 is the coolest car I have ever seen!: makes it really hard to see the Google Maps turn-by-turn navigation when it's in your pocket.

@gstatty: It's not permanently attached. It's a suction cup mount.

All the bluetooth headsets I've owned come with this feature built-in.

@egoods: Around here, we call it the "Lifehacker" effect.

@el_basto: Exactly what I said when they posted an article about using ice/snow from outside to keep your fridge cool. I pointed out that it would cause you actually use MORE energy overall,

Apple will be pulling this out of the app store really soon.

@Whitson Gordon: Tha't s a clusterfuck of odd-ball, unrelated genres. And I applaud you for it. I appreciate a wide variety of musical taste, in others and myself.

@furquanatique: Nobody drives their car in a perfectly straight line for miles either, but it should be aligned so it will if you let go of the wheel. Likewise, nobody is going to draw this pattern on their screen, but the screen should be accurate enough that it will do it if you tried.

All I want is to be able to skip next/previous via long press of volume up/down a la Blackberry.

@k-napped: You must not have the polish sausages I have for digits. My only gripe about touchscreen phones (I have a G1) is the fingers God gave me!

This is clever, but chain locks are useless. It can only be locked if someone is INSIDE the room. Thus, if you defeat one, the occupant will know it when you enter. All a chain lock is good for is the illusion of security when answering the knock of a stranger. If I need to answer my door to a stranger whilst making…

@Homerjay is utterly alone.: Based on his spelling, he's never going to figure it out.
