@daGoat: Metric/Imperial conversion error probably...

@Antonio Lovemaker: I'd like a tablet I could use out of the box to look at machines on my home network, view things like PDF, JPG BMP and some electronic book format files, watch a video from a file on my network (MPG, DivX, H.264, FLV, etc.), surf the Internet and play a few games on. Don't want to have to have…

@NuevoLeon: You say 2009 like it's a bad thing... Are things really moving that fast as far as design chic goes?

I'm thinking MIDI control, with colored lights inside, and something to make them wave.

You know the scientists measured the width of the panda to build a suitable "confinement habitat" and specified the width in centimetres, but the engineers just looked at it and used inches. Suddenly all the gaps are too big to hold the beasts!!

@LeftClicker: Or else he's the world's worst house-sitter. Be careful of who you hire cheap off Craigslist...

I once worked at a place that made conversion kits that let school buses run on propane or natural gas. We did that fire thing a few times, but under the hood, during development. Problems with the fuel mixture. And the bus wouldn't run that fast when it happened, either.

@Agrippa: First you need to buy some lottery tickets and hope to win. Or buy enough tickets to build a bus out of the losers... Either way, you get your bus!!

@Alexander Riccio: More likely "Bus overshot the parking lot entrance because the driver was trying to update her Facebook status". With that speed, you'd have to circle the city to line it up again...

15.4 inch Macbook for $2000, or the Dell Vostro and the 60 inch Sharp Aquos for about the same?

@snapoversteer fronts the prog-rock band Camber Tweel: Run for the Borders!

@Murdermonkey: You and your common sense approach again! This is MOBILE! This is SOCIAL! There IS NO PRIVACY! Publish your soul for all to see. And market to.

Does the other person need the app running and ready to have the transfer work? Otherwise, I'm going to banging into a lot of people at the Gizmodo Day gathering next week, seeing if I sponge some PayPal for my beer...

@mtfmuffins: The real surprise — that wasn't a guy, it was a girl DRESSED as a guy!!

@petarro: I thought it was witty - I always appreciate someone tying in a reference to a recent story in a clever way. I didn't LOL, but I did get a grin...

@Reginald Atkins: If "abstract" means "fuzzy, indistinct objects", then I'm in. Basically everything I shoot is abstract. Drives my wife nuts...

I love the Peter Norton-esque crossed arms stance everyone has at the end. And most there aren't old enough to remember those images from the early days of personal computing...

@Ben Zvan: That was my thought. What a terrible name. Like "HTC Glacier", from the makers of "E. Coli Snack Treats".

@Kaiser-Machead v.2.1.1: Pipe Band Hero, with drums and pipes

@bustedchain: I learned a lot about fence-building having two goats for a year. They found holes, or made holes, every couple of days. Then they'd eat my wife's roses.
