I understand and approve the refining of Android. Just 2.0 to 2.1 was a revelation, and 2.2 looks to be even better. I just wish, in my own selfish little world, it was doing it a bit slower. I just got my Droid in February when it was still the top of the line. Less than a year later, they want to, at best,…

I'm hoping that mirroring current day trendy news isn't going to become a thing with Futurama. They do it all the time in The Simpsons, but that takes place in current day, making it correct to be topical. However, Futurama takes place in the future and has a certain timeless quality that is underminded everytime…

As a big fan of mouse use I hate to say this, but isn't the mouse a dying technology? Touchscreens have supplanted the need for a mouse for the vast majority of home consumer applications. Once the computer hardware manufacturer's catch up, I'm guessing most computers will be touchscreen interfaces in the future. …

@robotkiller: No, I don't own an iPhone. Why should that exclude me from commenting on what I consider to be a badly designed hardware issue with a peice of technology on a tech blog? Despite my ownership of a Droid, I do have a certain lust after the experience of iOS. The polish and stability of the software…

@jblues: Well pointed, sir.

@ddhboy: You still have to get the music from somewhere. I'm guessing Amazon will be integrated into the service to purchase new music. Google Music is just a means of storing music you already have in the cloud, and streaming it to your phone for playback. I don't think Google wants to dive headfirst into getting…

The only reason we find the "standard" system so easy to use is because we were brought up using it. I would liken it to the English language, actually. Only in that case, the rest of the world still tries to adopt it, so they can sell us things. The English language is not easy to learn gramatically or…

I dreaded those parts of the game, but I think I enjoyed them ultimately, in the context of the game. I don't know if I'll pay money to single out that experience, however.

One movie: It's a tie between Pulp Fiction and Fight Club

This is one of those rare moments when I actually side with the "crazy conspiracy theory" group. I think Apple discovered this issue too late in the development cycle to redesign before launch, so they decided to move into an untapped area of the market (for them) and design a case (the bumper) that fixes the issue. …

What's with the land speeder and Star Wars characters parked outside Planet Express?

@bdenny: Yeah, shortly after reading this article, I found one annoucing the Kindle app. Downloaded it yesterday.

@mopo: No, I'm talking about Nokia's inability to seperate their phone from the pack of increasingly generic "media phones." It would have passed for a smart phone by the old definition of a blackberry, but in the app-centric world we now live in thanks to Apple and Google, it's just a phone. It even looks like an…

@m_9: I think it's a bad design choice that you can, in essence short out one antenna to another just by holding the phone in a way that someone might conceiveably want to hold it. It's not as big an issue as everyone is making it out to be, you just have to hold it different; but I'm of the opinion that Apple…

@GE128: I would've guessed higher than that, even. It is a Squire, Fender's "bargain" brand, so maybe it'll be a bit cheaper. I'm just hoping they manage to subsidize the price a bit to make it affordable. THe ion drum kit would have cost even more than $300 before RB had them design a kit. I thought I had…

@pupaboy3: I'd say it's a two-prong problem.

@taniquetil: I've tried Linux. The older distros, while they hit my nostalgia bone a bit for DOS of old, are harder to use for no reason. The newer ones are trying to BE Windows but not really getting the point. I like Windows, and I will pay money to use it, not to mention all the software I can eat.

Hey, they could play with the antennas, making the Blackberry useful again! Yay!

@iScrewFanbois: Hey, they're a business. If they improve their UI, and the end result is an ad, oh well. It's still free, and obviously the ad won't be in the way. Google is pretty good at making their ads non-obtrusive, and seeing as how they power everything they do with that revenue, it works.

@Chris Pratt: Cheer up! Life's too short to be worried about whether or not the tech site YOU are reading is biased towards one device or another. By all means, STOP complaining, and GO elsewhere. It was a joke, written by a known sattirist, with the word "fake" IN his name. Seriously...
