"Free" is a dangerous claim when it comes with cell phones.

To be fair, Lelo makes some of the highest end sex toys around, and this model doesn't even look like a sex toy. If anything, it's just a very high end vibrator that many people happen to use for sexual purposes. If someone wants to re-purpose it for something else, nothing wrong or gross about that.

After having watched them change their logo/typography more times than I can count (at least 4 different versions) in my relatively short lifetime, I hope they keep this. It's the first look a while to look clean, and it also looks sleek and modern. Both are good things (though, admittedly, perhaps they didn't have…

I remember watching a British food show, where the gimmick was that every episode they would pretend to live in a certain time period (not sure if it was just a time period in London or if they traveled only saw two episodes), only eating the food and drink available then, and then examine the effects to their health…

Yeah... our telecom companies love screwing us over.

Are there cheaper music players that run modern, mainstream, up-to-date mobile operating systems? I'll admit to not really doing my research, but I was unaware of there being any music players running Android. I will be the first to admit I may have made a grievous mistake if there are.

I suppose it is not reflective of the iPhone itself, but just the service plans I deal with in Canada, but yes, where I am, I can get a service plan for an Android phone for as little as $20/month (maybe $25?), but iPhones are going to hit much higher. I don't know who exactly is at fault, if it's Apple who won't…

That... is what I meant, that the barely legal girls are actually older, but they advertise them as being barely legal because... that's what they do.

$15/gig in overage really isn't that expensive at all when every gig is costing you $10 regular, regardless of what plan you go with.

Considering these are pretty much what iPod Touches look like, I think it's kind of easy to imagine what having one would be like. That said, I specifically got a black iPod Touch so that it could be confused for an iPhone, thus making me cool, because only cool people spend like $80/month for a phone that really is…

I would just point out that a significant number of pornstars list themselves as being 18 or 19... despite having been in the business for far more years than could make that legal. I don't know if that makes it "mainstream" or not, but it certainly is significant, and probably is mainstream, even if it isn't the…

With 64 replies already, I'm sure many have already pointed this out, but in case they haven't: there's something a little discriminatory about calling 19 year olds children and not adults. It may seem gross and wrong to you, but there's a reason we have things like ages of majority and consent: to define adults. …

Better or worse if the ex is tagged?

There seem to be a number of problems with this article.

Aww, that went from all cute and starstruck to all terrible and unnecessarily mean. Now I'm sad. And dammit, I'm probably the only one here who actually remembered him in Unhappily Ever After! Anywho, she is cute, but even if I recognize that it's a little bit of bad form (or, at least, weird form) to send her a…

I love io9, and I know I can't realistically say that this massive change will cause me to stop coming here, but... it's going to take a while.

When Gawker made that last massive shift, I stopped coming to Gawker sites. I stopped spending hours a day on the various sites, browsing about, and reading all the content…

Is this working? Is this how I reply now? Is this being posted to my "personal blog" (god I hope not)?

I think the OP, much like myself, see a lot of positive in io9, that's why we're here, we love the blog and the content in it... we're just terrified, angered, and confused by a massively different layout. We can…

Zune was introduced after I got my first iPod and was discontinued before I got this one... sad, I know.

Wait, what?! The chat bar thing is moving from the right side to the left!?! That's it! That's the final straw! I am totally deactivating my Facebook account! For real this time!

Depends largely on whether it's shot in Vancouver.
