First snarky thing that came to mind, "First world problem much?" But seriously, park as soon as you can, don't camp out for the spots closest to the entrance. Idling for "up to 9 minutes" is up to 9 minutes of gas wasting. It may not be much compared the the amount of gas you spent getting to the store, but every…

I agree with you. I don't like seeing images purposely worsened. We have such great equipment in the palm of our hands but people feel the need to make their photo look like it was taken over 50 years ago and dug out of a shoebox in the attic. Don't give me the "artistic" expression BS either; I would say that most,…

I'm getting ready to cancel cable tv. I have two kids, ages 2 and 4. They watch disney junior, nick jr. and pbs. I have an HTPC that runs windows media center. I've already discovered that disney jr and pbs kids have web sites where you can watch their full episodes. I'm just not too excited having to use a wireless…

Agree. Lock screen is to keep you from unknowingly accessing major phone functions or strangers from using them too.

This is my business card. I give them to people in need. It's a phone stand.

Ha! This reply was just as funny!

SO seldom has so few words held so much win. You win today, tomorrow and the next day's Internets!

My thoughts are: once you have kids, all the "my life is over" moments you had before children are NOTHING compared to raising kids right. That girl/boy you fretted over, the exam you HAD to pass or bust, the drama at your workplace ... they all pale in comparison. In the meantime, enjoy your freedoms and the…

I was worried about the same issue as you. 2 years and 10 months ago I purchased a 3 year family unlimited plan with crashplan, but kept putting off uploading the 200GB's worth of photos and videos that are on my home server. I finally bit the bullet a couple weeks ago and did it. My isp is cox, and they have a 200gb…

I'm not sure what they meant by that. I've been able to upload multiple photos in the iOS Facebook app for a while now. I don't remember when that feature got added, but it was definitely before this update.

I dislike the application of vintage filters for current day events.

Unrelated comment about how the commenting system sucks and how the site is selling out to the man.

awesome :) +1 for you, sir.

I'm going to talk about aliens. If we ever got a world-wide-known-event/visit from extra-terrestrials that looked like us, and could communicate with us, it would be bad.

I believe in magic. And I hope you do too. You'll always have a friend wearing big red shoes.... !

Thanks; that was well thought out. I consider myself an apple fanboy (although I only own their iPhones and iPads). I also like to keep up with the market, and before I read this Giz post, I hadn't realized how much of a "threat" this surface could be to the iPad. But, that's what got me thinking: If I, just now, am…

Like omnichad said, if you're mostly using Windows Media Center, you really dont need to do much at all. Get a WMC remote and also a "Lenovo Multimedia remote with keyboard" ... why both? Because 99% of the time you just need the WMC remote if you're in WMC. But for that 1% of the time you need a mouse to load up a…

I once stepped on a motherboard while working on a case mod. It got physically modified, but in a bad kind of way. The next time I worked on a mod, I wrote myself a little note to remind myself to not do that. http://www.envador.com/cases/GuitarPC/

no issues here. happy with mine. Got new features, faster, lighter, more screen real estate. Turn by turn worked fine for me too.

This is the answer to your crumpled macbook question.
