Criminals fear the Batmullet!

Are you kidding? I am WAY more bad-ass over the phone than I am in person. Over the phone I am a 6'6" ex-navy seal who fights in MMA tournaments and runs a successful sniper rifle store and in my spare time I hunt wolverines with my bare hands.

Actually, I think you really hit the nail on the head. Firearms are used when death of the subject is pretty much the intended result (or when the Tazer is out of range or otherwise not an option). Tazers are designed as a deadly force that's not INTENDED to kill the subject; but still might. Treating them as if they…

No, I disagree with that statement. A Tazer is absolutely not safe enough to be considered a reliably non-lethal weapon. A study published by the American Heart Association affirms that tazers pose a serious risk of cardiac death; and hundreds of people have been killed by law enforcement tazings since 2001:

Totally agree. She couldn't escape, because she was not under arrest. Police should only use a Tazer when the use of deadly force is justified. Would MasterChi have made the same arguments had they shot her instead of tazing her? If not, then it doesn't hold up scrutiny.

The problem is that the Tazer was designed to give police a non-lethal alternative to their firearms: but police use it as an alternative to actually having to deal with citizens who are non-cooperative while remaining non-violent. The result you would expect from the introduction of the Tazer is that a certain…

I totally reject the argument that Apple has be hyper-aggressive with patents just because everyone else is doing it. That argument only works if you aren't the one who started it, and Apples hyper-aggressive defense of what it considered its IP with the iPhone and iOS is certainly at least the event that accelerated…

whatever fanboys

So....anything rectangular with a screen looks like an iPhone now?

Whenever I see something like this, I feel like they should be required to have a little disclaimer at the bottom that discloses how many times they tried and failed for the shot they were going for before they actually got it. (not that I wasn't impressed by this particular video)

well, maybe you can't remove complexity, but you can certainly add it, and that's exactly what has been done here. I don't see how scanning an entire image is somehow "easier" than scanning a QR code. All things considered, it's probably harder since the lighting and angle would probably matter more recognizing a…

So, they took a process that's relatively simple: encoding a small amount of information, like a URL, into a graphical format that can be interpreted by smart phones with cameras; and made it into a really complicated image recognition problem that probably takes many times the processing power to accomplish. How is…

Yeah, I get that, and all things considered I am looking forward to the Wii U. When you make a new version of a piece of hardware, however, you really expect it to do everything its predecessor did and more; so advertising it seems a bit awkward. It would be like if Apple came out and said with the new iPhone 5 you…

So, really, Amazon is there only new partner here. It's nice, I would like to be able to watch my Amazon content on the Wii, but its nothing major.

The current Wii already does Netflix and Hulu (not sure about Youtube). It's nice to see Amazon added to the list; but by no means is that going to get me to buy a new Wii.

only when they compete with Apple; since apple is not in the broadband business its not a problem for Giz

Jaguar — For men who'd like hand-jobs from beautiful women they hardly know.

I think what's amusing here is the exact point at which things became unprofessional or sexist in some people's eyes. It's apparently totally appropriate to hire a model for her looks, so she can stand next to your technology and subtly make people think about sex when they are looking at it; however at the point at…

Wait a minute Jesus, you ARE the usual suspect...

Ah, perhaps I assumed incorrectly then. $300 for a ~200GB hard drive IS pretty steep if that's the case
