[Don't buy] Anything where a repair is more costly than a replacement. That includes HDTVs, as well as DVD players, vacuum cleaners, video cameras, and some other items.

I do love Control Center. Sure, Android users have had that same thing for a while, but it's great that iOS users will be getting it. Quick toggles like that was basically my #1 reason for jailbreaking my iPod Touch, so I don't think I would even jailbreak with iOS 7 (if I had a device that could get iOS 7 in the…

Unfortunately, this one's gone. It looked like a fantastic deal, so hopefully it will come around again soon!

Excellent question about simultaneous access! The short answer: no.

On a related note, most cable companies allow you to have sub-accounts for "family" members that allow access to things like this (or HBO GO). Decide the ethicality of this route yourself ;)

Nope. It's delayed (at least on my local station, but I suspect on all west coast stations). NBC is delaying the broadcast of the opening ceremony to be during primetime. It does start at 9pm London time, but all US broadcasts are delayed. I don't think the opening ceremony will be live streamed on nbcolympics.com…

Mirror's Edge on iPhone has a VERY similar control scheme to your multitouch Super Mario Bros idea. I liked it a lot.

One of my favorite things about this app is the "Install Screen Saver" link in the menubar. It's my favorite screen saver because it is simple and inspirational.

I did a Hulu Plus trial this summer, and canceled it, but when the fall seasons started they offered me another full-month trial. I was happy to take it so I could watch through an Xbox.
