I not only wear a watch, I sell them, and I personally own 21 watches; obviously I am far from an impartial person on this matter. However, I will say that I loathe having to use my phone or something else to know what time it is. It's time-consuming and it takes me out of the world. Using my watch, on the other hand…

Shoes that are good for your feet that also look nice are not a bad thing. In fact, I keep saying that I wish my Nike FreeRuns were work appropriate, because being on my feet all day in crappy shoes - even crappy shoes with great insoles - is not a good thing. And, unfortunately, most shoes that look nice enough for…

"Which, clearly, they aren't." Really? How is that clear? The article sure sounds like they haven't. Go read it again. It doesn't make a single mention of the fact that these have been around for a long time, and the lines such as the one I quoted (PS, not getting hung on specific lines. I was picking the line that I…

That's great either way, but this article is written as if writable NFC tags are something new, such as this line, "To grow it up in a hurry Samsung will be selling sets of little NFC stickers called TecTiles." Which was my complaint.

How are tech blogs just now learning about writable NFC tags? I just saw this on Engadget too, and I asked the same question. I've had them since I got my Galaxy Nexus two months ago, and it certainly wasn't new then.

The biggest benefit for this over the C3 is that the F3 can actually use all of the accessories the higher end NEX cameras can, whereas the C3 (sadly) cannot. It's not quite enough of a big deal that I'd sell my C3 to upgrade, but it's close.

You should be able to do that. When you reject it, it will ask which app you want to use to send it, and you just route it through GV instead of your messaging app. I believe. I never use the reject to text feature, so I can't say for sure.

So this is obviously not scientific, but from my experience MOST of the people I know with Android phones have no idea that newer versions exist unless I (or some other geek) tells them. And I know a lot of people with Android phones. Trust me, I'm not coming from the perspective of "everyone's a rooter" but more that…

That's a good point. Though in the same vein there are older iPhones that don't support the newer iOS versions.

As I always say, most of those who know that their phone isn't on the latest version of Android, will root and put it on there. Most Android users have no idea that there is a newer version of their OS, and really don't care. Most of the ones who do know will simply root it and upgrade themselves.

One bet I'm always a fan of is not quite a guaranteed win, but it is a high probability win. When watching baseball, and it comes to a full count (3 balls and 2 strikes), bet your friend (or random person at the bar) $10 bucks that the next pitch will be a foul ball. They'll think you're just trying to predict the…

This movie started off onto the wrong track at "How do you know they engineered us?" "It's what I choose to believe," (probably not the exact quote) and never got back on the right track. As someone who is studying to become a scientist (though in a very different field than hers), I am abjectly offended at a…

To be fair, I saw it with a biologist and she was saying she would have done the exact same thing because often curiosity overrides common sense when seeing something novel.

I heard this before I saw Prometheus, and I was trying to see if they actually said 35 light years in the movie. They don't directly, but they did say 3.47e14km, which I then spent the next little bit trying to do the math in my head to figure out if that was where they alluded to it being 35 light years away. Sadly,…

Gotta say this one wins it in my opinion - [www.flickr.com] (stupid thing won't embed)

If it were cheaper, I'd consider it as a secondary to my NEX C3. Impressive for the size, of course, but I'm fairly confused how they price it the same as the C3/F3.

I'm glad I'm not the only one nutty enough to want a giant tablet/laptop. I want a 15" version, as I like my screens bigger than 13" and I need a 10-key. ASUS showed one yesterday that is the same idea as the Transformer, and supposedly they're going to make it as big as 14". Just inching its way along...

Uh...what? Windows 8 absolutely still uses the same file structure as Windows 7. You clearly haven't spent 10 minutes with Windows 8 or you'd have known that. In fact, Windows Explorer actually works a little better than it did in 7, just due to little interface and productivity tweaks that they put into it.

They've actually let a bunch of people try them on, and actually use them. Not Sergey's set, of course, but I'm guessing his isn't unique.

Make sure these are legal in your state before doing this. In some (or at the very least, in Utah) potato guns are illegal and you can get in a lot of trouble for making one.
