My friend's dad was actually rushed to the hospital once because he didn't like the nasty smell of the drain cleaner, and decided that bleach would be the solution to freshen things up. The gas cloud rendered him unconscious, but luckily he they called an ambulance and he made it out ok due to quick response...scary…

I agree, I have usually already read the news by the time I get to work anyways...that's what breakfast is for...

I have 2 keys, car and home. With the new (mechanically) programmable locks, every lock on my house and shed use the same key. Technological improvements do not only happen in the electronics world people... Good luck the next time you are standing outside your door in the pouring rain and for some inexplicable…

I think the idea of shaping it to fit my lawn shape could get rather expensive and time consuming, but making some crazy shaped contraption for kids to run around in, if you have no pool, now that could be a great time!

If the water is coming from a source at a higher elevation than the tank, it will automatically flow up to the tower, even if it passes through a lower point to get there. Water pressure is basically potential energy, the higher you pile it, the more energy it has. Another neat thing I noticed, is that the rings on…

I (being from Canada) have a Kobo ereader, and every time it goes into power down mode, it displays the cover of the book I am currently reading. So you see it sitting on your night table as the book you are reading. I love that feature for this reason. Seems like a pretty simple solution though...why are the…

Someone needs to come up with a widely accepted sarcasm font...

Ok Mr. Anti-Liberty, (Liberal and Liberty are closely related) please explain this blindfold that the liberal media are holding over our eyes on the subject of water. Judging by your moniker, you do understand science, so I would appreciate being enlightened to these theories, but keep in mind that ice, although it…

I once walked into a pillar in my high school hallway while talking to a girl I liked at the time. I got 10 weeks detention.

Absolutely ideal for airport business lounge!

OK was nobody else expecting more of a climax than a double-speed reverse to initial position? "Crushes leftover landmines" kind of got my expectations up...

This looks like the iSoda from Apple, pretty nice. The only thing I don't understand is why this came out of nowhere recently in North America, because I remember my aunt in Ireland had the same type of thing when I was a kid, and it seemed like a common household item. That was 20 years ago...you took tap water and…

First line in this song:

Lol! Made my day, thanks.

Sorry for my science-minded-ness, but white is not a small part of the visible spectrum. The colors on objects we see are reflections of the certain wavelengths from the spectrum. White is in fact all the wavelengths of the visible spectrum combined, just as black is a complete absence of any wavelength. That's why…

Where is the scotch? Do you think Draper and his boys are going to drink cocktails? You always need a tumbler and some scotch on hand to keep up in their business meetings.

Best Gizmodo article in the "serious" genre! Very informative. Really was on the fence and quite ignorant for a while now on the subject. Fell much more informed now. Thanks!

Personally I have bought some of my favorite things thanks to Gizmodo. Is it so shameful to promote interesting and enjoyable products? I appreciate everything Gizmodo does and I thank them, and congratulate them for having such a good time doing it! Why bitch about someone else's success, especially if you are…

From what I can see the design has a lot to do with limiting manufacturing costs. That whole outer casing (the box part) seems to be made from a single folded sheet of metal. You cut the holes where you need them, and then fold it; done! Then all you need to do is stick the parts inside. Simple process.

I love the way they try to explain "featured" and the reason for choosing this term...come on, do they really think we are that dumb at this point? Sponsored is clearly understood as being an advert, and they do not want that, because it has a negative connotation, and leads to less clicks, which reduces the…
