1. There's relatively little evidence of catastrophic failure caused by the use of electronic devices during take-off and landing.

Right? I was surprised too. They came highly recommended-that's why I bought them, Makitas arent exactly the budget option.

It's a mixed bag really, collected over the years- some craftsman tools, a new black and decker drill/impact driver (jury's still out on this one), a couple dewalt sanders, few makita and bosch saws, a foredom flex shaft motor... so really all over the place, some corded, some battery powered, and most of the time I…

I have most of the tools described here, and I lug them around in a couple of heavy-ish bags. If this works, and more importantly- works reliably- then I'd be interested in a corded model. I'm cautiously optimistic, I've had multi-tools in the past that are less than sturdy, its always the interface where the…

Phrasing of the comments would suggest the Cutting Sword is Iranian.

Cricket RULES!!!! woot woot! a more arcane and complex set of stats and rules you will never find. 3 international version of the game, numerous local versions, games that last from 3 hours to 5 days, complex nonlinear projection for interrupted games, and now new and improved with cheerleaders AND instant replay for…

yup. polyethylene sure doesn't sound biodegradable.

wow. some people just cannot keep politics out of a nice article. your comment was in poor taste.

That MS decided to announce this yesterday, so early in the production cycle, before even pricing/speccing it, seems strange.

Coffee in the wilderness you say?

What brought that on? Not the part about taking things apart and putting them back together, I hope :)

Its so prettttyyyy....... From a purely aesthetic POV, Apple's physical designs (and to a much lesser extent, their UIs) are so GD good lookin... It's like buying functional art. The pricing certainly seems to agree with that premise. And it doesn't hurt that this MBPs guts are pretty impressive.

I think you're getting speciation and evolution mixed.
