@diw321: Small game or animation studios, or even any artist in the industry could use it and then get it written off for taxes. Same goes for game system and other goodies.

@mikjackson77: I would agree that Microsoft Security Essentials is a good choice. It runs very light, is pretty straight ahead, and free.

@shazaam42: Could be your Halloween costume. You might even say, that would be a cool idea.

Ok, I've got a question. I'm starting to get into photography and I've bought myself a G11 for starters, then eventually a DSLR when I feel I should reward myself. I want to buy extra batteries or my camera and I'm wondering how well the generic batteries do against the official Canon ones, if they're as safe to use,…

I feel sorry for whoever comes into work late at the crash test facility, because they probably used his/her car for the testing.

@jedimaster: Haha, yeah I'm the same. Maybe they've been given the green light then because they promised they'd bring pie.

@jedimaster: I kinda thought they meant that they'd be compiling things live, like they have the last couple of times.

Rrrr I hope they still have a deal like this on that Canon 7D around Christmas time, when I'll be able to justify getting myself something.

@Gregory Jeffries: HAHA I would've starred you just for this one.

@binhdu37: Aww, you're right. Kinda wish he wouldn't have, I think that would've been funnier.

hahaha I like how he's wearing sunglasses again at the end.

So far looks like a nice little tablet. What's better is that now there will be competition to speed along innovation in this corner of the market. Everybody wins.

@skipjack002: Because you don't use 1 tool to do every job. This would be the case in any field, whether you were a carpenter, painter, or nail stylist. Sometimes the degree of your retaliation needs to be tuned to the message you're sending. Take for instance how the accelerated UAV missions in Pakistan are still…

Even if their weapons parade looks like a first grade show-and-tell, the fact is it doesn't have to look pretty to be effective. And this is evident in many of the world's popular weapons or weapon systems. IED's aren't very glamorous. As easy as Iran makes itself to be the joke of the conversation with their photo…

@Charliehorse: It seems you're contradicting yourself by beginning with "Burning a Koran, or any other religious book is not a big deal" and then ending with, "I find their views offensive." Although burning a religious holy book might not seem a big deal to you, can you not see how a great many people might have…

@unknownsock: Everything is marketed as cool, because you have to make what you're selling attractive. But just because it's marketed that way doesn't insure sales. Just look at the Palm Pre or the newer BB Torch. What is regarded as luxury is sometimes subjective, especially when it comes to an experience which is…

@unknownsock: You will always have the group of people who "do" because they follow. Just like those who will love to hate Apple because it's cool to do so. It's not a problem with Apple's products, it's a trait of human behavior as we are social creatures and tend to mimic behavior. They're not advertising to the…

An excellent article, and nice with the Alex Mack. I felt like a geek after watching the steel bearing test and declaring, "that's fuckin' awesome." You made me laugh at the visual of watching my phone bounce for about a minute and 21 seconds.

@SJRNWT: Much obliged, I believe you were hearted some time ago.

I had those Bose headphones for a while, but when they broke I got a pair of Shure SE115's and there's a world of a difference. They're much more comfortable and interchangeable with adapters. I think I got mine from Amazon with a phone mic adapter for about the same price. Would definitely recommend them highly.
