Agreed....First I click on the article from the blog page (or click on "More," so I can see more, then I have to click More again to bring the same article back up, but this time with only Kindle tagged articles to the right. Finally, if I want to actually read more about the new Kindles, I pick one of the articles

I'm wondering if all the new Kindles will be Special Offers Kindles. I'm not interested in a device which forces ads on me when I just want to read a book.

Now playing

A test pilot did this in 1955, to demonstrate the capabilities of a passenger jet.

I use an anti-glare screen protector on my iPad. I have no problems reading outside. There are some cheap ones out there, but I went for one from Power Support. It was $35, but IMHO well worth the money. I think they're selling for $25 now. I've had it on the iPad since March and it's still as good as new.

All this is doing is letting anyone become a "Snooki." There's a reason everybody doesn't know the life and times of the common person with no obvious talent...because we don't need or want to. It doesn't enlighten us in any way. It doesn't make our lives more vibrant. It's shallow on the part of the poster,

I mentioned this in the other Blockbuster post: As a Dish subscriber, I already have streaming access with DishOnline. I get Starz and Epix movies and lots of TV shows as well, for no additional charge. It sounds like they will be packaging and selling separately what subscribers already receive for free.

Interesting, but with Dish, I can do much of this already. With my Dish subscription, I can stream Starz and Epix movies at no additional cost, along with a bunch of TV shows. It sounds like Dish is packaging and selling separately what subscribers already get for free.

Agreed...Unfortunately, this is typical of Gizmodo. Several times, I had to reread sentences and I'm still not sure exactly what was being said. Some of it is grammatical (somewhat forgivable, since this is a "blog" and not real journalism), some of it can be attributed to typos (shouldn't be forgiven when writing

I'm sorry....I guess my sarcasm wasn't obvious and I should have added a tag....or flashing lights....or a big sign.

You should have to take a class, pass a test, and get a license before you can tweet....and the same goes for voting and having kids. This is what happens when society advances to the point that it stops natural selection. If this kid had to hunt/gather his own food and make his own bed, he'd eliminate himself from

It's not just new content. There are a lot of old movies I want to watch which aren't in the streaming catalog. I'm not going to subscribe to the DVD service, but I might drop the streaming service....

What's a "citation grammar police?" Did we forget a comma?

I don't know...I thought it was pretty well rounded.

They probably wouldn't even bother with properly secured networks. There are enough idiots out there with unsecured networks, or with WEP and the key set to 12345.

Maybe the prisoners would change their minds if the iPhones had anatomical benefits.

I think the blame falls entirely on the hotel. It doesn't matter what override codes manufacturers use. An intelligent thief would know them. It's up to the hotels to change the codes.

Agreed. Even if it radiated the heat away from the the target, i.e - out the opposite side, I suspect you would be able to pick up a thermal image of the warmer, rising air. It's invisible until you know what to look for....and by making this public, haven't we told everybody what to look for?

If people are traveling by themselves, I can see this working. Many people, however, are traveling with family or coworkers and sitting together. Are they going to split up families? "Hey, you, 6 year old. You can't board now. You can see your mom again in ten minutes." The minute they let families board

Wasn't blaming Apple....as my note says, it's a useful service, but there are additional costs to consider, such as over-priced data plans.

And while Apple provides a useful service, AT&T, Verizon, et al., get to pick our pockets for data usage. From a quality perspective, a 256kbps stream is very nice, but a few ours a day of streaming will add up quickly.
