My biggest revelation in this article...I had no idea how to spell tchotchke. I would have failed at the first letter...

The thing though, someone could have pulled this off without much of a hack. If all they needed was the last 4 digits of the credit card number and billing address, a pizza delivery guy can do it, as long as it's the same card number. Sure he could have done some things differently, but there is a practical limit to…

This is why they banned the suits used in swimming events in Beijing.

I don't know much about Synchronized Swimming, but I bet it actually takes a lot more athletic ability than most would think. It can't be easy to stay vertical like that with your head underwater. Solo? yeah, that one is dumb.

The modem to check out is this bad boy, Walmart says it's in stock: http://www.walmart.com/ip/15174842?adid=22222222227000603260&wmlspartner=wlpa&wl0=&wl1=g&wl2=&wl3=14099381950&wl4=&wl5=pla&veh=sem

He forgot his sign. I've got to keep in mind to not use ACME parachutes.

I'm betting for Android the next in the sequence is Key Lime Pie, Licorice (not expecting Lemon Meringue), Marzipan then possibly Nougat.

We bought a Macbook Air for about a week or so, used it and just decided it wasn't for us. Took it back to the Apple store and had one of the easiest returns I've ever had for electronics.

This one isn't stupid, or at least as stupid. It is possible to have a Carrington event level storm. It has happened before, will happen sometime in the future.

You'd see the FaceTime camera I'd think.

So Google will be in charge of the DarkNet. The question is, who will be Loki Stormbringer?

And on the plane, you'll now need to turn your glasses off.

I went to Space Academy in Huntsville, awesome experience. What made it even better was it just so happened to be July 1989, when it seemed like EVERYONE was in town for the anniversary of Apollo 11. Seeing all the Apollo 11 astronauts together, even from a distance, was a treat.

no, it extends past broadcasting for profit. Churches have gotten in trouble for showing it on too large a screen, or not using a generic term like The Big Game. But it also does extend to descriptions of the game. The key though is it's their descriptions that are copyrighted. You can describe what happened in your…

One reason this bill is extremely stupid, is because those who really want to pirate, won't have to do a whole lot to do it. This bill allows for the DNS records to be changed, and that's about it. Use the IP or go to a DNS server outside the US, and you're in.

I don't know if it works on newer apps (or this was "fixed"), but once iOS 5 came about, I got my old copy of Tris back. They pulled that when the App Store was fairly new.

One of the things I've generally noticed handing out candy. No imagination in costumes these days with the kids. If a kid walked up in one of these, he'd get a good haul from me. Of course this year there was a juice box. That did count as well.

Maybe same reason it was Ice Cream Sandwich instead of just Ice Cream. Not enough differentiation between a regular donut and a jelly filled one without it being broken open.

I thought the adding salt to water to make it boil faster was about adding nucleation sites, not changing the boiling point.

But the point is valid. You get a free 3GS now, it's two years old and you get a two year contract. So by the end of the contract in October 2013, you can now upgrade a device released in 2009. They said it wasn't as big of a deal if you already have one, just getting one now.
