While a slightly lengthy rant, I completely agree with you - headphones do not belong on ski hills. Sure, I've worn them occasionally, turned waaay down, but 90% of the time, I don't. It is primarily a safety thing for me, but also an aesthetic thing as well - I am outdoors in the wilderness (mostly ski slackcountry…

The Lifeproof case deal is done.

TiVo + Cable = enjoyable

ONLY THE BASE MODEL GETS ATSC, AND IT HAS NO STREAMING?!?! WTF TIVO!!!!!!

I think the Gizmodo audience is not the target of a cheap iPhone. That would be the Walmart crowd and the developing country crowd. Is it wrong to lump the two crowds together?

I recommend Time Capsules all the time to people. They may be a bit more expensive, but their ease pays for Apple Tax the first time you need to recover something.

Multiple paths.

8.31.07. I'm surprised it wasn't earlier. For some reason I am defending a Nokia N95. And I was a SE guy at the time...

Funny, but I seem to be getting more hairs on my ears as I get older, not fewer. Now, if only they were the right hairs...

It matters not what craft they are piloting, the people going through there as a whole seem to have no concept of right of way. I have a 24' sailboat moored on Lake Union, so get through the cut probably once every two weeks. It is mayhem. Best to go out in October when the yahoos clear out ;-)

Go to Wisconsin. Minnesota. Those northern central states. Still a lot of canoes and with good reason. For backcountry lake expeditions, a canoe trumps just about any kayak for stability and storage (and, in my opinion, comfort).

Yup.

Fiber should arrive to my house next year. $80 for 1Gbps. Then I'll start to pay for hard wire interwebs again.

Not being snarky, but if it is hard, you are looking in the wrong places (and while I am not condoning piracy by any means, the best places are usually private piracy sites). And my speeds average about 18Mbps....a little faster than my Comcast connection used to.

My LTE connection is faster than your cable connection (probably). And anything you see on cable TV can be found through one means or another on the interwebs.

What's a cable company? I have this thing called an Antennae. It brings me TV. I have this thing called a MiFi. It brings me internets. I don't understand why cable companies still matter.

Wait...Jesus...you are really still using an iPhone 4 as your primary phone? Isn't it a bit, um, sluggish?

I am an Apple user. Always have been. It is my livelihood (truly, I do IT for Apple-based companies). A few months back I got an Oppo Find 5. I've always loved good hardware, and the Oppo was fantastic. For three weeks I refused to pick up my iPhone. And while there were things I really enjoyed while using…

I've put my LEAP back in it's box and plan to take it out again in about six months. While it is conceptually amazing, it is currently just a bit of mild amusement. Soon people will figure out really what the LEAP is and what it means, but nothing I've seen really scratches the surface of what it may one day be. …

It's an interesting, if evil, notion. Damn 1%'ers!
