The battery in the golden Zelda game on NES was a bigger advancement, since it was the first time a game could be saved. Prior to that every game had to be beaten in one day. And in those days most games didn't have an ending, it just got harder and harder, and you just played until you saw GAME OVER.

+1 for video games (which ultimately helped my career in Software Engineering)

Should have started him off with PONG, like the rest of us old timers.

I agree 100%. Cleanability is paramount when selecting a mug, right next to the ability to safely slurp very hot coffee. One time a big sheet of the built up slime under the lid came out and into my mouth. I somehow managed to not blow chunks. And no jokes about asking who Chunks is.

The hot slurp factor is usually my #1 criteria when buying, right next to how easy I can put a sponge on ALL the surfaces underneath the lid. Some lids have areas that are tucked away under the fancy mechanism and can't be physically cleaned and starts building up a crud layer that sometimes falls into the coffee and…

If this (or something less horrible) happened to a steel frame, it could be emergency welded.

Bo and Luke would have gone through a ton of airbags if they drove one of these.

Good to know that 2007 and up models are so safe, since I own a 2008 S80 T6 AWD.

Same thing with carbon fiber bicycle frames. Nice and light, but shatter into pieces during small impacts/accidents.

One word: screens

"English alphabet"? Lucky she has a lot of followers that can help her through some tough years ahead.

Twisting a throttle (or stepping on a gas pedal) makes you feel manly? Try a real sport, where YOU are the engine.

#1 reason = an easy and unobtrusive Ebola (fever) testing of your co-workers before they enter your cubicle. Good thing, because they were starting to get pissed with my anal thermometer technique.

That outlet splitter is great if you want to blow fuses in your car (although I bet Fuses wouldn't mind). Hopefully the device has a built in thermally resettable fuse, because you could draw 6 amps real quick trying to charge 3 devices at once.

Incorrect, I bet there is zero power suck. A lot of modern-day "plug in" transformers (which is built into this outlet) are what is called "switching" power supplies, and only consume power when actually used by the end device, so no end device = zero "power suck".

2 amps sounds like a lot to charge a tablet battery, are you sure about that? I would have thought it was in the 500 mA range, at least it used to be back in the day. I need to break out my DMM and see what my 5.5" phablet draws when recharging.

Also the polarized plugs.

Maybe T-Rex's don't like cheese and bacon? Pffft, who am I kidding, who doesn't like cheese and bacon?!!
