So you spelled his name wrong? That must have been a hard one to get...

Another one is affordances - which means it's visually obvious what you're supposed to do with a key.

I find it hard to like anything Apple does anymore (except the Zooey commercial. I can never not love her), but this was just...stupid. It reminded me more of Microsoft's "I'm a PC" commercials than it did of any advertisement I've ever seen Apple do. So I'm certainly not personally offended by it in any way - quite…

You know what they say. Once you go black, you go deaf.

Haha, we listened to that Radio Lab episode in my applied statistics class. We also did that experiment I described in my applied statistics class.

To some extent, nothing is random. Everything happens based on some predetermining event. However, to the extent that anything is actually random, so are shuffles. Both Google Music and iTunes. This article is remarkably misleading, actually, in that it makes you think that because it doesn't seem random, that it…

The tiny hairs that hold him up magically grow through his shoes, of course!

Has all of Top Gear? He was saying he'd pay for Top Gear. $8 a month gets you Top Gear. Even if you don't like anything else about Netflix, it is a way to legally get Top Gear in the US.

Netflix.

Not just planes, but robo-planes.

No, they just like to joke about the robot apocalypse.

I got 5 seconds in. I think we could make this a new challenge: who can get the farthest through that video. Or, at what point in watching that video does someone start behaving as if they were on Bath Salts.

Here's a watch that does the same thing, only it still has the minute hand on it.

In the MLB, when the count is full (only the first full count pitch, not any of the following pitches) bet someone in the bar that the next pitch will be a foul ball. They'll think you're just trying to predict the next pitch, but due to the fairly well-matched standoff that is a full count in major league baseball…

So I went to a screening of the movie "Minds in the Water" a while back, and one of the main people in the movie (it's a documentary about Japan's dolphin killing, sort of like "The Cove") had a mermaid tail that she wore very frequently. The movie overall was rather sickening and quite sad, but it at least had that…

I've never actually DVRed a game, though I have been glad to be able to re-watch a couple of games either on ESPN Replay or Comcast On Demand when they were really great games. I generally don't like to watch something when I already know the ending either, but there were a couple of instances where the games were so…

Has anyone else notice that NO ONE besides Gizmodo bashes on Project Glass? Go read about it on any other tech blog - they rave about it. The people who have actually used it rave about it. The people who work on it are insanely excited about it.

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…
