These are my favorite safety glasses:

I admit, when I first picked up a Harry Potter book I thought, "That's Tim Hunter, what a ripoff." But aside from the look, and the very common trope with which they both begin, the stories go in, uh, slightly different directions.

OMG PriceBlink, where have you been all my life?

The potential is huge. Hook up some 3D display goggles, and we'll finally have the VR internet experience we've been dreaming about since Snow Crash.

I'm mainly against piracy, but these rulings are freaking insane. The laws need to change, because there is no justice in this.

Thanks for throwing us this sad little bone, Apple. Can I have lala back yet?

@jepzilla: Me too, and it's driving me crazy that I can't remember where. Not that that makes it any less awesome.

@donrhummy: The plan would only used for a mobile hotspot. The iPod Touch connects to it via WiFi. There are no phones involved.

VOTE: TrueCrypt

It's a shame, because this video mainly proves there is no level of skill that will make him not a guy on a unicycle, and not look completely ridiculous.

@lostarchitect: Yeah, if it has any guts at all, this thing could be a steal.

@John Eusebio: I sort of doubt it's aimed at Gizmodo readers.

Firefox users who don't have .xpi files associated with Firefox may find it easier to get this from the Mozilla add-ons site, and let FF install it automatically:

Ah, Winamp. This pleases me. This, in fact, could sway my decision on what OS to go with on my upcoming phone purchase.

@Nard-0: @Nard-0: I don't think it was a direct Wesley Willis reference. Winamp has always (and still does) come with an mp3 that plays the first time you start it up, featuring an announcer-type voice saying "Winamp. It really whips the llama's ass."

A lot of grammarian pedantry could be avoided by simply giving students a little instruction in linguistics to supplement year after year of grammar.

Ooh, maybe Gene Simmons and Anonymous will somehow cancel each other out and explode!

@MayorBloomberg: I definitely see the appeal of the convenience of having your passwords in the cloud, but am I overestimating the security of Firefox's encryption?

@MayorBloomberg: I've seen Lastpass mentioned before, but out of curiosity, how is it more secure than Firefox's built-in password encryption? I'm sort of skeptical about the idea of involving a popular but essentially unknown third party in my security scheme.

Ooh, thanks for reminding me to protect my passwords in Firefox. I've been meaning to change that setting for months.
