    @The Anti-Fanboy: It's about time somebody stopped bogging down perfectly good sentence-paragraphs with punctuation

    My new every two upgrade in March is going to whatever Samsung Focus/Omnia 7 equivalent (hopefully) exists on Verizon at that point. As 2011 as the iPhone 4 hardware seems, I can't shake the impression that iOS just feels so... 2008

    There are quite a few comments seeming to equate the sentiment of the article to expecting something for nothing - I think that's a bit misguided. In support of Sam, here's part of Justice Breyer's dissent in Eldred v. Ashcroft (2003):

    Over at AVS Forum star ceilings are a pretty popular thing to do and the craftsmanship is seriously impressive - I only recommend browsing the forums there if you're OK with adding about ten major projects to your DIY to-do list, though.

    I had a lack TV stand when I was at school and I have three things I'd like to point out:

    @djscruffy: As much as I love Ikea and it comprises a large part of my furnishings, I'd have to say that the word that best describes my experience with Ikea furniture is "flimsy."

    @bookling: When the Kraken hadn't yet been distributed and they were trying to promote its release, they offered a free poster with old-timey Kraken art, as well as a leather-bound "history" of the Kraken. I never got either of them after signing up.

    It's pretty clear that hardware has been the biggest letdown here but, like Adrian says in the last sentence of the post, there is the virtual keyboard built into webOS 2.0:

    @JediTricks: Absolutely. These "awareness" technologies are fantastic if they SUPPLEMENT basic driving fundamentals. Take the example in the linked article of the Long Island pediatrician backing up over his 2-year-old son - checking every mirror and blind spot does nothing if a small child is in exactly the wrong…

    @GamingGodfather: That is the question I wanted to raise - I have two roommates and our FiOS bill is split three ways. It would require that the service was substantially cheaper to justify purchasing multiple 360s.

    I always thought that the most convincing reason for moving away from meat was the loss of energy at higher trophic levels:

    @Huatnee: Exactly - it's interesting to think how paradoxical it is that makers of film or games could possibly better evoke a feeling of time by using black and white. It doesn't make sense for "real life" to have ever been in black and white, but our exposure to (and imagery of) that era is largely limited to black…

    @wellsje: That ice mold stuck around for about a month at my fraternity house before we decided that people were having too much fun hurling "shot glasses" at walls during parties.

    @blash: Have you considered rollerblades? They probably would serve just as well as far as speed but are safer, smaller, and (maybe) would look less ridiculous to passers-by.

    I still can't believe that Kin Studio never got very much attention - it seriously raised the bar for handling media on a phone. I was actually on eBay last week trying to hunt one down because I figured that, if I could get one cheaply enough, it would be an interesting experiment, especially considering that WP7 on…

    The other day I discovered that I live right across the street from the DARPA headquarters - I would have expected some awesome high-tech fortress, but it's one of the most generic, nondescript office buildings I've ever seen. I guess they probably want it that way, since they had me fooled.
