That would be nice, indeed, but with 22,000 Hz you better don't have a dog at home...

It's quite clear: the iPhone 5 not only makes the vegetation greener, it also changes the wave patterns of the sea.

Great comment! As (continental) European I can totally relate to it - how can a boob be possibly worse than any sort of violence/aggression shown in the media? It's amazing that this Victorian undercurrent (ah - those Brits!) is still so present in the US. Whenever I tell someone that we have mixed saunas across the…

You must a) be living in the US then, and b) weigh more than 200lbs.

I'll raise you some Swarovski! We need more things encrusted with Swarovski crystal!

Maybe, just maybe, you haven't fully understood that there's more to literature than just being a 'commentary'...

Oh noes, I hate animated gifs with a vengeance, and you must not spread knowledge about that evil pest! It's like the 90s are back, and Geocities webpages with stuff flickering all over the place...

I was trying to be sarcastic here!

It's a gadget blog, not a tech blog. Gadget blogs are entitled to typos, wrong use of punctuation, occasional incoherency, and total absence of copy-editing. What you have in mind is something like 'ars technica' (which is a great tech blog, indeed).

I like e-ink, but have no problems reading on my (retina display) iPad (halfway through War and Peace...). And I can use the iPad to write, make presentations, as GPS, keep track of my trips, I can remote-login to my computer, and... and...

Right - it wouldn't change anything in load distribution. Generally, I think no matter how refined the strappery is designed, or the frame, or no matter how thick the padding is - there is a point during any hike/climb where you curse your backpack...

oh - alone the mention of that movie makes my skin crawl. Incidentally, I'm sitting in a dimly lit room right now, and, heck, isn't that some fog wafting in under the door...

Oh, I can totally relate to mechanically satisfying movements! Remember that lever on a turntable that lifted the arm from a vinyl LP? That resistance when pulling it towards you, and that limp dropping back when releasing it? Or rewinding a tape reel until the end of the tape came out of the reel slot, flapping…

That's not the point - this is about pretending to sing when all that was being done was hiring a good sound engineer...

Going out on a limb here, but this really shouldn't come out of vacation time: It involves fancy technology, LEDs, topless wo.. - oh, scratch that, but, yes, Arduino was mentioned, and a zipper lift. Combine this with solidly researched background information, an illustrative video, and you have a captivating story.…

Yes, and touchscreen laptops are nonsense from an ergonomic standpoint: You have to keep your arm stretched out horizontally in order to do something on the screen. It is fatiguing, and you can do it only so long before you want to rest your arm (and use the touchpad). Touchscreen only makes real sense on tablets, in…

Problem is that almost every kid in this country wants to be a 'movie star', 'sport celebrity', and become 'famous', instead of sitting down and learn the hard stuff. Or so it seems to me.

It must be a DFG chip then. Yes, Distortion Field Generator.

Mars has, as far as I know, a very thin atmosphere, and has winds that stir up dust - that makes the difference.

While that R4 in the picture sure was EMP proof, it rusted away like nothing else. Maybe an EMP would have stopped that process...
