@NT-Hobo: Frost heaves? You learn a lot of geology when you marry an earth-sciences guy.

I SO want one - all I've ever wanted was a Mac tablet. The iPhone stylus is simply a finger substitute, not a drawing tool.

There's no freaking bars in here!

It is rubbish - the thing's only a couple of inches deep. I defy you to wash your face without drenching the whole bathroom.

The article reminded me that I have a small electronic metronome in the house that should do the same thing as BPM Calculator, which requires you to count the beats yourself.

Guinness put a lot of time and technology into a little nitrogen container that breaks open when you pop open a can. The characteristic soft head is nitrogen, not carbon dioxide-based. The rest is technique.

These techniques were all used to make actresses look exquisite and out of reach in the days of the studios.

It's pretty butch - now you can do that free-birth thing in the forest with a bear as midwife, like you always wanted to do.

Asking the good Doctor to do a residence is something they should have done years ago.

Where's the noodley ambient Brian Eno soundtrack to go with the hypnotic imagery?

Where are my virtual robotic sidemen? And my roadies, think of it?

The Dalek invasion had to be canceled - Those pesky Earthlings built the curbs too high!

My husband amassed a good-sized collection of phones...sounds worth it.

@DangerousLiberal: As a matter of fact, something similar happened to my husband: a very bad sinus infection blew out both his eardrums. He recovered most of his hearing but it left him with balance problems for the rest of his life - luckily he was one of those guys who looked good with a cane.

When will Kodak put out the 1922 Kodachrome Video app so we can produce totally bogus digital duplicates of the process?

A new way to get high, perhaps?

I'm old-school, so I believe in having a conversation with the person I'm with when I'm with him. That said, I will pull out the iPhone if we're discussing a point of fact or need to see an image. If it enhances the interaction, fine, but it shouldn't be a substitute for it.

OH YEAH!

There's surprisingly little ocean floor mapped in great detail, so the sea life can probably keep the drapes open for a while yet.

Best thing to have in the bedroom is the live-in geologist - when we went through the Northridge quake in '94 he said immediately after the shaking stopped: "There probably won't be another one immediately!" An informed opinion was just what I wanted right then.
