@madog: I'm working on getting some stimulus funds to scratch my ass and play video games. I'll post an update here to let everyone know how it goes.

@B@tM@n: I did't claim that Android phones are a geek sub-niche. I'm saying that this "openness" debate/marketing appeals to said sub-niche.

@gstar: Yes, I have, or at least used to have, that nightmare as well. Others are/were showing up to school without any shoes (I don't think I've ever had a dream showing up without any pants or clothing at all, which apparently is a common dream), not being able to find my class, and finding out, at the end of the…

@B@tM@n: I'm also an iPhone owner, so take that as you wish.

@UmbertoCabbageton: I don't think this was meant to be more secure, but more convenient. I applaud the effort.

I'm in my 30s now, but occasionally, I still have nightmares about not being able to open my high school locker. This brought them back. Thanks, Gizmodo!

I thought the lead picture was the wiring for a data center.

@noodle: Is there an app for that?

@IAmAGenius: It's both romantic and frugal.

@archercc: I hadn't thought of the security cable. So, right now, I've got five cables to connect in the morning and disconnect in the evening: power, Ethernet, mini display port, USB (which goes to a hub, or I'd have more to worry about), and security cable.

@Bant: Electric Burger:

@archercc: Light Peak, if it ever sees the light of day (ha!) could make a good docking solution. Your laptop could have a single Light Peak port, which the dock would connect to (along with the power connector), and the dock would have connections for USB, mini display port (and/or display port, VGA, DVI, HDMI),…

@archercc: The new MBAs, both sizes, have two USB 2.0 ports, versus just one on the previous models. But it's true it does not have built-in 3G/4G.

@FriarNurgle: It's not fragmented. It's open.

@gthing: It's because Verizon is the largest carrier. Together, AT&T and Verizon account for more than half of all U.S. wireless contracts. Sprint and T-Mobile split about one quarter evenly. So adding Verizon more than doubles the iPhone's potential market, where Sprint or T-Mobile would be a more incremental…

@Monty: I disagree about the variety of devices. At least, I think it's less of an issue than carrier availability. As Schwartz wrote in "The Paradox of Choice," too much variety actual drives down customer satisfaction, increases buyer's remorse, and makes it more likely a consumer will do without than risking…

@Xagest: You, and several others, have written this. But did you realize it was also in the article?

@Tetsuooooooo: So what do you do if your HTC phone breaks?

@rihahn: Thanks, all. But really, one person pointing out my mistake is sufficient.

Am I allowed to nitpick? Oh, right, this is the Internet; I'm not only allowed to, I'm required to.
