[I really hope I'm not double-posting here, I tried posting on the ca.gizmodo.com page, that seemed to work fine, but when I went to the regular, "new" Gizmodo page, my comment had disappeared. After multiple refreshes, and checking every possible comment view option, I still couldn't find it, so, I'm reposting...

I think the most shocking part of this news piece is that apparently the overwhelming majority of the world has a mobile subscription... that means a cell phone contract right? Even if it just means a cell phone (me and everyone in my family has pay-as-you-go phones), that's still shocking. More people (I'm

@Dr Emilio Lizardo: I was totally going to comment that because the date was in the American style, io9's theory was pretty solid... I'm glad I saw your post, I could have very greatly embarrassed myself by thinking there was a 21st month (that, or I should probably just pay closer attention to things).

When you're in your tenth year of doing a show (one less without a Dunkleman), who the hell cares anymore.

Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.... I had forgotten just how much I missed Lady Gaga music videos... damn that was something.

This is how I'm used to cops reacting to innocent, peaceful creatures in the middle of a road...

I suppose it's a good thing that there isn't just some button you can press in the bank that opens the bank vault... but damn, there needs to be a button you can press in the bank that opens the ban vault!!! Won't someone please think of the children!?!

I'm just a little bit concerned that since the vast majority of heroes and villains are men, this is either going to be rather boring, or feature a lot of double teaming (and thus, boring).

Additionally there's the simple fact that some things are better left unknown. What if your son isn't savvy enough to hide his porn browsing, do you want to risk knowing what things he's looked up?

@Arcane: The risk in that, however, is that while it might work out fine, it might also teach the kids to hide things from their parents. If they know outright that they have to hide what they're doing on the internet, it's not much of a leap to them hiding what they're doing in real life from their parents.

Remember that episode of Chappelle's Show, when there was that kids puppet show, and the puppets were singing about genital warts and smoking crack? And that wasn't even simple editing, at best that was some high tech over-dubbing! I guess Dave Chappelle's gonna be brought in on these charges as well.

I'm on a pay-as-you-go set-up, sucks for voicemail, but I only pay roughly $15 a month, which compared to anyone I know, is very small. As for Google Voice, I use it to call through Gmail, but unless I'm not up-to-date, the full service isn't available for Canadians (yet, I hope).

@pixelpushing: Ew, who still eats hot dogs? Burgers, F-T-W!

I hate voicemail, absolutely hate it, I say in my voicemail message thingy that, if you want to get in touch with me, you should text, e-mail, Facebook message, anything but leave a message because, quite frankly, I'm not likely to check it. And why, aside from the annoyance of checking messages, don't I? Because it

I believe that's "Cardassian patrol ship, Hideki class" (I had to reply with something, you stole my chance to call that).

I don't know... it's not like they have a white Black Ranger, or a black ranger who isn't the Black Ranger... I'd say blue is pretty close to black as far as those available colours go... so they did kinda make their black ranger the colour closest to black... Plus the Green Ranger looks possibly hispanic, and what's

I think that number may be vastly overestimated. It's probably more like fractions of a cent.

Am I the only one who wants Beast Wars back (please don't yell at me for having grown up in the '90s, not the '80s)?

I just hope they didn't have to break down Jason Chen's door to get these.
