When apple moved into new carriers, they didn't necessarily get a huge number of new iPhone customers, they just had customers who hated their previous carrier but liked their phone switch to another carrier. Apple did not gain significant market share by expanding into new carriers.

Pssfff, it's not like Apple actually needs a secret police force. I work at NASA, and WE don't even have a secret police force to keep me from telling you all that —- [REDACTED]

I am so glad the Microsoft and Bioware are pushing this technology, I think its the logical place for games to go, and if/when this kind of interface works as advertised it could open up a huge new set of options to game developers. That being said, I think a grain of salt is needed with these kinds of promises.…

I'm not saying CES (or any trade show for that matter) cannot be taxing. I'm saying that it's not a trade show "in the desert." If it was held outside in the blazing sun, with occasional dust storms and very little water, THEN it would be in the desert. Saying that CES is in the desert is like saying that it's in…

Seriously, they have been saying this since 1949

There's a part being played here by the attendees of the conference as well. It's also up to you guys to set the tone of what's expected/appreciated/allowed at the conference. So ask yourself: Did you spend lots of times at the babe-laden booths? Did you pose for more pictures with the hotties than the techies? If I…

How many times are you going to complain about the "trade show in the desert?" Really? In the desert? Its not like you have to ride a fucking camel from booth to booth and travel by night. Its in a convention center in the desert. Go to Burning Man and then see if you still feel like CES takes place "in the desert."

Ah, this post angered and confused me. First off, I was excited to see an HTML5 based image editing suite: so right off the bat fuck you Gizmodo for getting me all excited just to jerk my chain. Second, I don't know anyone who has had trouble running photoshop on their Mac, or any of abode's CS software; if someone…

I am never sarcastic about The Trilogy. Get your Star Wars facts wrong, and you WILL suffer my terrible wrath!

That was a TIE INTERCEPTOR you ignorant bastards.

PS, if it was that easy to heat up rebar, I would totally make the hot rebar crossbow from HalfLife2

You've been punked again Gizmodo. If you take a look at the design on the site, it's pretty clear that it would not work. Aside from the fact that it would take a long time and a lot of current to heat up a piece of rebar until it could toast bread, the design doesn't even complete the circuit.

Alright then...they probably read my comment, and then used their time machine to go back and already have made it. You know, just to make me look bad.

Agreed. Google needs to do the smart thing and create an app that lets you use your existing android device as a remote for this box: controlled over the WiFi that this device obviously relies on.

That's a good question about the intentionally limited capabilities though. With MakerBot being a big supporter of the Open Hardware movement, I am willing to bet they would not mind people printing more printers. I wouldn't be surprised if in 10 years or so there is copy-protected designs and piracy thereof much as…

At this price point with these kinds of specs, I wouldn't be surprised it this wasn't going to be marketed towards retail/point of sale type applications, it would be perfect for that. Really though, a responsive 27" touchscreen would be an amazing platform for all kinds of intuitive apps. If windows 8 is first to…

Well, it could be used to print out a lot (if not all) of the parts for a smaller printer, but they would not come out assembled. Realistically though, you need materials that the printer cannot currently print with, like metals, to create a working printer

Saying you are disappointed in a 3D printer because its only bigger than its predecessor is like saying you are disappointed with a new computer because its only faster than its predecessor. A larger footprint is about the most important metric of a 3D printer right now. Sure, it would be great if they announced the…

I ditched the physical keyboard on the last phone I bought, the DroidX, and I have really missed it ever since. I am definitely going back to the physical keyboard on my next phone. Swype is all well and good, but there is just no comparison with the speed I get on physical keys. I used to impress my class full of…
