Jonathan, you need to calm the hell down. First of all, New York is one of the great recycling cities in the world. Not in the separate-your-plastic-and-aluminum sort of way. I mean that if you have, say, an old bookcase that you don't have room for in your new apartment, you can leave it out front and someone…

One way to get around the "tragic flaw" would be to allow you to access your contacts from the Google Maps search field, like you used to be able to do. So instead of going into your contacts and hitting the address field for "Grandma", you just search for it in the Google Maps app. If it has this function already,…

I'm glad Google Maps is back (except on the iPad, but I don't really use Maps on the iPad anyway). However, I wish I could access my contacts from the app like you used to be able to do in the old Google maps. That's really my only complaint.

The Surface is another of Microsoft's "Johnny-come-lately" products. It reminds me of the Zune. It doesn't add anything groundbreaking to the mix other than a $16 keyboard you can buy for $120.

KHAAAAAAAAAAN!!!!

It starts out as a compilation that appears to be taken from "Planet Earth," and about halfway through switches to something akin to a GoPro commercial. The footage is fantastic, but I think it should have ended around 3:30 when it faded to black.

Interesting, but why is it that every "best photos of the year" list is 90% gore, bloodshed, war, famine, and so on. Sure, those photos have value and are important, but there is plenty of beauty, awe, love and wonder captured on "film" every year. Maybe I'm just too much of an optimist, maybe I'm too sheltered. …

He may be an artist but that doesn't mean everything he does is art. What's next? Are we going to be framing this guy's bowel movements for permanent installation at MOMA?

Who ever said this was art?

You know, I bought an iPad 3 last spring, and I'm very happy with it. However, Apple is starting to piss me off. The year and a half between the iPhone 4 and 4S releases was a respectable amount of time between phones. It gave people enough time to enjoy the 4, ride out their contract with their carrier, and then…

You never studied.

The Kindle Fire (amongst others) have shown that there is a market for lower-priced, smaller screen tablets. I know from experience that after holding up an iPad for an extended amount of time (like when you're reading a book), it tends to get heavy.

Can someone answer a question from a person who knows little to nothing about engineering? Kyle wrote:

Hey, there's my rock! I was wondering where I left that.

Grandma's not likely to drop her couch on the sidewalk and shatter it. Big difference.

Here's what I don't understand, Jesus. Why do you care if we put cases on our phones? I mean, it's one thing to dislike iPhone cases. It's another thing altogether to write a whole op-ed about it.

All you have to do is go to maps.google.com on your iOS gizmo, and then hit the "Add Page to Home Screen" option. No, it won't link to your contacts, nor third party apps, and so on. But you'll have your Google maps back on your home screen. Then you just have to sit back and wait for Google to give us a new maps…

"Don't constantly whip it out in public." Good life lesson.

I was just saying to a coworker that "Yes, the iPhone 5 is here, and for the first time since the launch of the first iPhone, I don't care." iPad Mini is the only thing that Apple (in theory) has coming up that is remotely interesting. The problem is that the iPhone isn't missing anything anymore. Each new iPhone…

Why no helmets Jerry? Because our heads aren't made of glass. Geez, spoken like someone rich enough to buy a new iPhone at the drop of a hat.
