Probably should mention with Google Music how the payment method is available to the entire family to buy anything on the Google Play Store.

Picked up mine over my lunch break today. I’m a Verizon customer, and the rep at the store said I would need to be a customer (and joked about needing a blood sample to verify). However, I never did verify anything. I didn’t even give them my name. He handed me a Cardboard (R2-D2. Old School all the way baby) and I…

I’d definitely pay the $10 premium for a true Android device with the Google Play store. That’s where I’ve invested my money on Apps and Games.

I have so many conflicting feelings about this study. After just reading the headline, my first thought was, “Yeah, but have you ever been to a Nebraska Cornhuskers football game? It’s deafening, and the opposing players often can’t hear themselves think!”

Actually, aside from what is actually going on onscreen (and the fact that he has 5 monitors), I’d say that’s a fairly accurate representation of a typical day of programming.

Also, where are the Home, End, Page Up and Page Down buttons? Those are invaluable to a programmer.

When you say battery life lasts a day and extra, is that with an always-on screen or allowing the screen to turn off when you’re not interacting with it?

It’s worth mentioning that dual-sensor alarms may not be ideal for every area of the home. For instance, I had a dual-sensor alarm in the hallway next to my kitchen. The thing went off every time I used the broiler or was roasting anything that created a small amount of smoke (no really, I’m not THAT bad of a cook).

I bought that 5-pack of USB cables for $7 during Amazon’s “huge” Prime Day sale. Now a week later they’re $2 cheaper and I don’t have to chase down Lightning Deals all day?

Sign in or Sign up just to see your sales? Guess I didn’t need to buy anything that bad after all.

I get up easily an hour to 90 minutes before everyone else in the house in order to do my routine that I like. On the weekdays it’s justified because I also leave for work before the kids are awake. On the weekends it feels kind of silly, but I like being able to shower / get ready in the bathroom in peace (and take…

Enter my email before I can view the sale? Guess I didn’t need to browse it THAT badly.

Possibly since engines were disabled, it was sucked in by the gravity of the Death Star?

Yeah, this calculator does seem to assume you’re living within an hour (or closer) of a major urban center. If you’re like me, and living in a city of about 100,000 (by no means tiny), these numbers are really inflated.

Seeing their price estimates on things like a small single-family home in the suburbs ($250,000) and living a simple life in retirement ($200,000 / year) is double what I would be paying in my current city.

And then turn around and play effectively Big Brother in V For Vendetta.

Came in to post this. Was it Michael Crichton’s State of Fear? Wing-nut environmentalists flick a rare super-venomous Octopus until it gets pissed and stings its victims. Which exploiting animals as murder weapons seems like a weird choice for environmentalists.

You should look into Chromecast, the $35 replacement to your Galaxy Tab HDMI setup.

This actually reminds me a lot of The Zipper ride in our local county fair:
