@withayou: You've restored my faith for the day in the comments. I commend your panache.

Not to detract from Giz, but if you want to see the background on some of these, Wired did a piece on them about 6 months back.

@fluidexistence: alt2600. Dammit.

@JakeMG: ♂ Man: Most Gizmodians do, though usually through a purloined satellite.

@soldstatic: The more it's promoted, the less it's #whitenoise. That's like alt.2400 running ads on Google.

@xd.Balls: Pirates are really inappropriate when in conversation with someone who fought so very hard amidst pirates, Native Americans and the British.

It's very simple—you cannot achieve true evil with over 50 VP's. Some will want to take over Bolivia, some may wish to own all the world's cheese, and others may just aspire to magnatehood, overseeing all carbon in the known universe.

@GranMastaB614: Semi? Please. In my day, we could do it completely flaccid.

@Waffles And Syrup: Bully for you—but then again, the fact that you partook in the robbery made you a simple slave to the schemings of what could only be time-travelling, planet-building beings disguised as house mice.

@alex-y: Maybe I missed something. Why does the old woman's penchant for grave-robbing Viagra addicts have bearing on neighborhood security?

@Maous: My marriage is a testament to this—I knew I'd found the one when she first told me about kicking her 12 year-old's butt in Rock Band, and that suspicion was reaaffirmed when I saw the twinkle in her eyes as she opened her Limited Edition Scrabble and and Rock Band set for her 30th birthday.

It took me over a year and two trial periods with two separate proiders to pick a new carrier and devices for me, my wife and our two oldest kids. After looking over 20+ options from iOS to Android to WM (both 6.5.X and 7), I had to settle for the X because of the network coverage... by the end of our second trial,…

@safil: My. I don't think the awkwardness this post invokes is what Rosa was referring to, but cheers for the accomplishment all the same.

@AndyMac: I'm sincerely sorry that no one has taken the time to notice your declaration of spacious living quarters and a significant parcel of land. I'd paste a "slow-clap" link or Youtube it, but I can't afford it.

@chris.edgette: FWIW, try the Incredible. If I had it to do all over again, I might do just that—I had the Evo on trial, and ended up going to the X because of VZ's coverage beating the crap out of Sprint's.

I'll be impressed when the SSD can act as a true cache... not attempting to be trollish—it's just, if you're using a hybrid design, why not take FULL advantage? It wouldn't even need to be a true RAID, just a pass-through.

Wait, wait. 299.00, for a phone whose OS is out of date, a display found to be lacking amongst its peers, a skin which has a number (albeit small number) of bugs discovered in demo models, and a camera which is more on the scale of a "feature" phone than a smartphone?

@treesloth: I'd also point out that Dell is pulling up in that all-around market. They may not do closets or cabs, but they scale what theu do offer pretty well—and MS would agree. Given a few more years of superior support (see the latest industry readings for enterprise support) and some hopeful innovation, and…

@Nick: *golf clap*

@FriarNurgle: @FriarNurgle: Wonder not as to the sense of the orchestral arrangement that is the starred choir. The Foxconn suicides? Star-hunters and unstarred commenters.
