$30,000 and it's not even the size of a car? Useless! Get this instead: [chicago.craigslist.org]

I love 404 pages. When I was in a web design class last year, my 404 page had a frame including the first level of NotPron ([notpron.org]), suggesting that the page they were looking for was through the door.

"And if you named your own price for car insurance, you could be paying for this yourself."

What I'd really like is a laptop sleeve that can double as a breathable lap pad to keep my laptop from scorching my legs without suffocating it. The newer Airs don't seem to need this so much, but my old 2007 MBP all-too-often gets super uncomfortable without a buffer between it and my legs.

My problem with video streaming is power consumption (at least on laptops and mobile devices). I'd like them to be higher-quality, but that would require a higher bitrate and consequently require more power from my devices.

Exactly. And you know what he drinks? Sarsaparilla that he brews himself. Or, that's what I'd get as a kid. I'm sure he drank something a bit more potent.

Is that illegal? Huh. Don't tell my relative. It's the wild west out there anyway.

This would make a great GPS unit/POV camera for motorcycles. There are motorcycle-specific phone docks, sure, but they don't always put the phone where you can see it, especially on sportbikes.

I have an relative who used to manage the ranch next-door to Val Kilmer's in New Mexico. There was no love lost between the two men—Val would encroach on his land, and and was generally a bad neighbor.

Huh. And here I thought they were always desperate for more donors, not fewer.

Thanks! Fitting, too—Calvin and Hobbes was always impressively non-political. Man, I want to go back and re-read the "10th Annversary" collection again...

It would be so cool if the neighbors all played along, and each lawn was a separate panel of a Sunday strip.

Well that's the thing—AT&T advertises this as a "4G" phone because it's an HSPA+ model. Verizon can't advertise phones as 4G unless they're LTE. The liberties that AT&T/T-Mobile have taken with the "4G" moniker are doing WP7 quite a favor in that regard.

DailyTech speculates that Microsoft's lack of support for LTE is what's keeping WP7 phones off the network. [www.dailytech.com]

Versus...

It would be interesting to compare the results of this poll with Giz readers vs. Jalopnik readers. While gadget model numbers are jargon at best and gibberish at worst, numbers in car names can often contain useful metrics (i.e., the Mercedes-Benz E350 means that it has a 3.5L engine).

It's true—but after working at a toy store where I had to hawk terrible off-brand toys to ignorant/cash-strapped parents, I've become overly sensitive to getting people what they want, not what they ought to have.

Man, this is delayed (just found this post today), but the PortaPros are the best in the world for their price class. Even outside of it. I love mine to death.

I'd be way more excited if it included an IR blaster in the armrest and turned the iPhone into a universal remote while it was plugged in.
