Full disclosure: Until a couple weeks ago, I didn't ever want to touch a gun, let alone be in the presence of someone who was packing. (I live in Alabama, so that proves problematic frequently — I have many friends who pack heat on the regular.) So my 8-year-old and I spend a weekend at her summer camp for a…

Your PIN can be input by anyone who knows it. You're the only one that can input your fingerprint. Care to try again? :-)

Yes, various levels of the government and Disney collect fingerprints everywhere, all the time, in the course of business. They took my fingerprints when I got this job, because I can look up my CEO's (and Oprah's, for that matter) healthcare claims. It's part of the background check. Fine. That's not the worry, at…

he pilot didn't "charge" anything. No money changed hands. He didn't even give the guy a chance to pull his wallet out..."It doesn't matter" and he turned around. Nice how we can just take things out of context and crucify this guy for volunteering his time and skill. Found this post over on liveleak:

Really? Your ID card and criminal record can record your whereabouts and report back every few seconds? My phone can do that, I wasn't aware static documents and records in a database could.

My driver's license and passport don't report their location to cell towers every few seconds. My phone does. And now my phone potentially can say "I was here. Oh, and my owner, he unlocked me with his thumbprint while I was here, too."

No, you can't have them back. Somebody else is already using those minutes.

Polak potrafi :D

Car: I will kill you now.

actually it's quite simple : if the limit is low , there will be drivers who obey the law and travel at a stupidly low speed . this slow island in a fast river causes waves , overtaking , changing lanes etc - making minor accidents more likey to happen . sometimes even serious pileups start from such a moving obstacle…

Next week: Insect with rear differential found

I love the fact that the Officer around the 8 minute mark yells out the speeds and states that "everyone has been speeding" ( in his opinion so were even exccesive) and yet there wasn't a single accident that happened the entire time they were there.Nobody had to be pulled from a twisted wreck and traffic seemed to be…

Don't let the fact that it was sent by Afroduck in anyway sully the content. Its very well reasoned and in most cases it shows why the current system is really designed around revenue and sound bites, not safety.

That's sexy in the same way that this:

I'm intrigued. I'm kinda impressed he doesn't seem to have stipulations on what the person looks like nor their own blend of crazy, so rock on you gentle naked tea guzzler of potential erudite fame.

Infotainment systems need to die, and die now. Most of us don't need or want anything that they provide. Most modern smartphones have voice controls for hands free operation, GPS and good navigation (unless you use Apple maps or something, but that's your fault), hold many gigs of music, and can access almost anything…

Cruise control for sure. I don't know how much a CC interface costs the auto manufacturers but I for one have never used mine in the 10 years I've been driving. Then again I guess some might still use it for this:

Voice commands: if I want to be misunderstood trying to dial a call or change what music is playing, I prefer to confuse Siri instead of the Subaru chick.
