I'd definitely be happy to see some universal micro-usb accessory protocol. See USB On-The-Go "OTG" for a start!

Because honestly, Apple doesn't want to deal with people who bought a $2 micro-USB cable and somehow ruined their iDevice. Even knockoff Apple dock connectors have to be done right.

You're right, but Mini-USB had similar features.. (V3 RAZR)

On Android... Start with Astro file manager and create a folder that begins with a period, such as .Porn and then place a blank file called '.nomedia' in the folder. Then, mount the SD card (or internal storage) of the phone in Windows as a disk drive. Use the command 'attrib -s -h' to mark the folder as a hidden,…

I just got stopped this morning, and thought about jalopnik and gizmodo.. After I was written my warning, the officer asked me about all the gadgets I had: My Eee tablet is mounted in front of my radio connected to a bluetooth-enabled OBD dongle. I showed him, and then he noticed my BlackBerry Torch. At that point, I…

got mine when I was 12!

A week before I turned 18, I was pulled over (45MPH in a 30MPH zone) at 11:30PM. The municipal officer used her spotlight to clearly see my arms were high on the steering wheel. She approached my car, greeted me, requested my license and proof of insurance. I gave her my license and asked to search my glove box and…

yep :(

2003 Olds Alero, bought cheap, ran cheap.. still has issues, to this day.

The mechanic at my dad's work was looking at my car, when a socket slipped out of his hand and into the engine bay. We saw it drop somewhere near the headlight assembly, so it was nowhere near moving parts. The mechanic said it wouldn't hurt to drive off with it lost, but he didn't want to make me pay for a new socket…

If the back brakes did the 70%, brake stands would be very difficult!

Since 3G (AT&T) just recently hit my area (about a month ago), I'll have to check that out! I don't see there being any difference, but it's an interesting concept.

Similar bands, different methods of transport.. or whatever! Qualcomm produced probably 100% of CDMA chipsets, whereas GSM has a variety. Correct me if I'm wrong.

iPhone 4S is backwards-capable of 2G, and will probably poll using 2G as a fallback or depending on the network. CDMA models shouldn't cause any interference, but it IS possible with the right environment.

One of my friends tried to do some spot paint work on someone's car, ended up leaving the fascia looking like a 3-year old took a wire brush to it..

a vast majority of rural farm roads here in Illinois lack any sort of lines. You'd think this is a problem, but it seems every driver I've come in contact with has given respect to me and my lane. Keep in mind that our country roads are often the size of one freeway lane. Scary, but I guess I've been lucky enough to…

A good number of newer all-in-one "convenience" copiers have a scan-to-email feature. Load documents, scan to file, email file. You could scan documents and email them to the recipient straight from the copier (they might receive it from something like "scanner@company.com") or you could email it to yourself and…

Or if a shop worker went on a drive to refill it / retrieve parts from a warehouse, it's probably off the books!

"No, my laptop came with 802.11n. Why the hell would I replace my 802.11b router? There's a slim chance I might see a difference if I upgrade from a DOCSIS 2.0 to a 3.0 modem. My router doesn't affect any of it."

I would feel bad for retiring my WRT54g V1.. Terribly bad :(
