Already posted here once, but mine is a knockoff Aeron, the Lorell 86200:

Just looking at that thing makes my ass hurt.

Yeah, that would be my concern. Every now and then someone I don't know too well asks to borrow my phone to make a call or check their Facebook or something, and I wouldn't be comfortable handing them my credit cards, ID, and cash (is there a place to store cash?) as well.

I'm not sure if I would have had the same issue with the OtterBox I purchased for my old Galaxy Nexus, but I ultimately quit using it because it didn't fulfill one of its stated functions: protection from even minor water damage. I got the case so I could take my phone on a weeklong boating trip, and on the second…

Just from skimming the reviews today, I saw that there seems to be a newer model from the same manufacturer, the "LLR86205" that is said to offer "more adjustment options", whatever that means. Might be worth looking in to.

Yeah, I've certainly owned some really crappy chairs for not much less. The same exact thing happened to me with a chair from Sam's Club. This one, though, was the best-reviewed Aeron knockoff on Amazon at the time I bought it, with several reviews from volume office purchases noting its long-term durability. Mine has…

It's not an Aeron, but it looks and feels pretty damn close. $169 on Amazon.

It's not exactly the same. Siri and Now have many overlapping features related to voice input, although they take somewhat different approaches to answering queries. Google Now's headline feature, though, is the predictive "cards" that appear based on info you've searched about before- for instance, it'll pop up a…

Oh, I think it'd be perfectly feasible. Just take a look at the way sites like The Verge let you scroll through their top stories. Unless there's something I'm missing, I don't see why they couldn't take advantage of touchscreens in that way.

My suggestion? Give users a choice. Allow us to switch between different commenting layouts in much the same way that we could once choose between "Recommended" and "All"- except this time, make it permanent. I was initially a bit confused by Kinja as we've known it until the recent updates, but after I figured out…

$550 (I took off the expenses for your peripherals and monitor) is what you should be spending for a decent midrange gaming desktop- not a "budget" build. I recently put together an HTPC for a client which, aside from the SSD, delivers realistic performance that isn't too much less than what you built- for about $350.…

Honest question. I live in New Mexico, and there are absolutely massive stretches of four-lane highways out here- two lanes west, two lanes east. Some of these highways, like the one between Santa Fe and Los Alamos that I frequently travel, are actually surprisingly congested at points. They also widen for some parts,…

I can't get this to work. It just hides Safari's address bar and seems to do nothing else in other apps- what am I missing here? For accented characters, though, you can just hold down a letter for a few seconds.

Surprise, surprise: markets with far more competition produce prices that are far more competitive.

If you're using software buttons, I think there are several ROMs that let you completely change which buttons show up at all- as in, you could actually add a menu button instead of using the Recent Apps button for that. Cyanongenmod 10, if I'm not mistaken, is one of them.

It's about visual cues. The on-screen "overflow button" approach gives users a consistent visual symbol that says "there are extra options here". The menu button provided no such cues. Some apps used it, others did not, and many users simply never knew when apps contained those extra options. A tech-savvy person's…

Has anybody ever surreptitiously enabled read receipts on a non-techie's phone to see if they're ducking your messages? Because, yeah... guilty. I didn't find out much, though. This person doesn't respond to messages, but also doesn't read them for several days. Not sure if they're seeing them come in and they're just…

Wow. I have done... all of these things. The last step is always the real death knell- when you just give up.

"This is Texas, after all."
