"For just 5 bucks" when a coke cost a nickel, minimum wage didn't exist (until 1938) and a skilled wage was around $1.25 per hour. Whatever your hourly rate, take it times 5 and ask if you'd be willing to buy a gadget!

No, the new element he invented in Iron Man 2 :)

"Could One Element Power the Entire Planet?" If you're Tony Stark, absolutely!

If the back is already made of glass, why shouldn't it be another touch screen? Or at that a touch screen that can fold out to make the iPhone a transformer to an iPad? That's HTC, not Apple. I personally like the uniformity and simplicity. It's a one trick pony that has been doing well for Apple. The only time…

For some reason this kind of reminds me of ShrinkyDinks. [www.shrinkydinks.com]

Isaac Asimov would be thrilled! I wonder how long until a positronic brain will be developed.

I think it's the other way around - they've always been in Flash, and were talking about converting to HTML5. There's a trial of it here: [www.youtube.com]

I was wondering why the iPhone didn't have this feature when I saw the video posted yesterday for the new RazR - [gizmodo.com]

Those are some pretty serious allegations. How is it that you know of it yet, he walks free?

And I thought the article was about to tell me that WiFi was dangerous.

HOOOLY SHIT!

I'm beginning to think that every airport needs a waterway for emergency landings.

Just imagine if Apple had been the first to have a web-email account - there'd be nothing else! I really like Apple, though I own no Apple products. Kind of like a fanboy on the side, but between patent wars and "legal issues" healthy competition is being snuffed out.

Yes, my bad - someone else already alerted me to the same thing. Sorry.
