I agree that the safety razor is a much better shave, but I think the cost benefits are a bit oversold. Cheap shaving brushes fall apart quickly, which ratchet up the overall cost. High-quality shaving brushes don't fall apart AS quickly, but cost considerably more. The initial cost of entry for using a safety…

Canned shaving cream is cheaply made, and usually contains soaps and aerosols which dry out your face. It's only purpose is to act as a lubricant to keep your skin from being sliced.

How can I find local providers in my area, if any even exist? I'd love to upgrade to fiber, but as far as I can tell, only the "Big Names" offer service in my area, and none of them are FiOS.

I imagine support for the Google Reader API would turn this into a very popular replacement for power-users.

This seems like a no-brainer for Microsoft. If they were to quickly step in with their own RSS Reader under the "Live" flagship, it would probably be enough of an incentive to get me to drop GMail and GCal, and switch over fully to Outlook.com. It would be worth it, just to have all my services under one roof again.

Looks like the Start Button has been skinned as well. Is that a Windows 8 start menu replacement (like Start8), or just a skinned desktop (ala a WindowBlinds theme)?

Looks like it would be more at home on WP8. The UI reeks of Metro inspirations.

I, for one, would fully support an RSS feed dedicated to Wallpaper Wednesday listings, designed to be compatible with the Windows Theme engine.

Seems like it would also really simplify the process of making bacon bits/crumbles; just slam a textbook down on the straws!

I absolutely love my Logitech Ultrathin w/ Backlighting. The keys are responsive, the keyboard has a nice, velvety black texture, and it looks damn good.

[duh-leted] - wrong thread.

Two quick notes about making perfect popcorn:

This isn't even going to be close. It's the Logitech Harmony Line.

It's my understanding that it also halves the available RAM.

Counter-point: If you're freezing your hand off from a normal shaker, I'd posit that you're probably shaking your drink too much.

The better experiment would be if he consumed the SAME amount of calories, replacing healthy food with unhealthy food.

Like most things in life, I follow the Alton Brown philosophy. His Turkey Carving method is largely similar to the second method, with the additional tip of using an electric carving knife.

I subscribe to the South Park school of profanity. It's OK to say "Shit" as a noun or adjective meaning bad, or as an exclamation of disappointment.

My biggest gripe with FileZilla is actually praise in disguise.
