Long diatribe of political flamethrowing that ends in name-calling in 3.....2....1....

I'm pretty sure it's permanent. It's been in testing for long enough that I don't imagine they'll have a soft roll-out with the option to opt-out, IMO.

But with how often you hear about him, you would think he was the funniest damn comedian out there.

At least he doesn't work for RIM. Don't they all have that title over at RIM?

I'm pretty sure that Google Wallet, or for that matter any NFC phones in the future, will have some kind of location based advertising similar to this. As annoying as this is, I see it being the future of phones.

Am I the only one that doesn't like Aziz? He's occasionally funny but his stuff gets old- fast. His character on Parks jumped the shark a long time ago.

I love the show but I've only watched the "newer" series- none of the old doctors- so I can't compare the two. To each their own.

Nope.. not a new discovery after all.

2 and 3 more address the practicality of the car, but in reality car manufacturers design concept cars all the time so I guess it's not important.

Combine wasps with that giant Weta Cricket Giz posted not too long ago and..

A few thoughts:

Damn, beat me to it.

Agreed but, and call me cynical, I'm sure they are doing the same.

I agree with you completely - it doesn't make it any less wrong.

I agree about FB-most people don't care about its glaring privacy holes- but I think this will piss some people off because it reads your texts, web traffic, etc. At least on FB you post with the assumption that it's not very private. Text messages are assumed to be private.

Does anyone seriously believe that Apple isn't doing this same thing, just in a different manner? Not meaning to start a flamethrowing thread, but let's be real. I can see the business application for this- of course the deceptive nature of it should be completely illegal.

On the site: "If the Dead walk, the continuation of the human race will become a daily struggle." I think the bigger question is, why the hell is "dead" capitalized? Apparently they fear Jerry Garcia in the apocalypse.

Sorry, definitely alien-made. If you can't explain it, it's probably alien...

Frankly I'm surprised no one has suggested aliens. Kudos Giz readers! (of course, I TL;DR all the comments)
