Keys on my 2010 Air already leave impressions on the screen... concerned about making them any higher and/or sharper...

Couldn't be ANYTHING else.

I went back and forth with Kickstarter on this via email before backing. Their policy, obviously, is that their hands are washed of it. Legally, that's probably unenforceable—but there hasn't been a test case suitable for class action yet. OUYA could quite easily be that test case. When it eventually happens,…

Surprisingly obvious... surprisingly brilliant. As a rule, getting people to be ok with a non-affirmative act—in this case, waiting and watching an ad, but not having to DO anything—is drastically easier than convincing them to affirmatively fork over even a modicum of cash. This model could open the door to millions…

first +1 I've ever had to give.

Gonna try the Konami code on EVERY ONE OF THESE I SEE.

Best Buy employees are supposed to tell every customer who brings a Galaxy Tab to the register "You know this isn't an iPad, right?" God, the only thing dumber than customers is commenters.

The reality is that most people don't like any of the laws except the ones they agree with. If Apple abandoned its entire legal team, it simply wouldn't exist—because iTunes, the iPod, the iPhone, and the Mac would all never have seen the light of day. You live in a nation of laws; Apple does billions of dollars of…

Easily 50% or more of the cyclists in every major metropolitan area I've lived in have blatantly ignored the traffic laws. Cyclists can't play the whole "same rules, same rights" card if, as a community, cycling isn't going to self-police its own. For every driver who hits a cyclist there are dozens who end up in…

Immediately thought this exact same thing. I've been contemplating trying Chrome for iOS, and this just convinced me NOT to. Hey, Google: I use iOS and not Android by choice. I don't want to be completely Googlefied. If you want to be on my phone, respect my choice.

Except to the extent that it wouldn't explain the significant uptick in batting average. Stretching a single into a double with speed goes not into your average, but (wholly counterintuitively) into your slugging percentage. Racing around to 2nd base on a line drive is actually shown in the "power" numbers.

You do realize that your "DOUBLING THE OTHER TEAM'S CHANCE TO SCORE" theory assumes that you DON'T convert the 4th down, right? And considering that (I bet they didn't give you a slide on this) NFL offenses convert 4th and less-than-5 more than 50% of the time that... wait for it... offsets and more than counteracts…
