Wild Thing, I think I love you.

They didn't do themselves any favors by picking that first shot of the two ships in the harbor behind the people on the boardwalk—in my opinion those ships reeked of CGI—but the rest of the examples were much more impressive.

Size 15? I can imagine where your username came from.

So, I'm guessing that Jezebel and Jalopnik agreed to a cage match to decide who got to run this story and both died.

(Image fail) My apologies.

So, my high school crush on Stephen Hawking just got an indefinite extension.

This is the plague of any modern day spectacle. No matter how many officially-sanctioned HD cameras are at the ready to capture the events, you'll still have at least half the audience holding their damn cellphones in the air. And after all the effort, they'll most likely never even watch the footage they shot. …

Yeah, this is definitely a re-run.

I was interested to see this because I was so wowed by the projection show done for Prague's Astrological Clock. This was fine, but so lackluster if you've seen the Prague display.

Because I purchased several of the World's Largest Gummy Bears last year (5lb bear for $35), I figured it'd be more than $50, but I guessed $80-$100. $200 makes it a no go. It's great and funny and all that, but a $200 novelty food item is gonna be a hard sell for the 99%.

This is very true. I wanted a bouncy castle for a much less sexy adult party and the weight limit for most was 150-250 lbs. So, 1-2 adults max. Bogus.

As much as I love pizza, this thing looks like a tie-dyed barf roll. My sleeping loyalties remain with the cheeseburger bed.

I once knew a Steadicam operator whose business cards were made of the exact same metal as the vest to which the camera attaches. They were like $5 per card. I couldn't see how it was worth it.

Don't rip up old VHS tapes unless it's common stuff that's on DVD like Jerry Maguire. Rare VHS tapes can fetch hundreds of dollars from collectors. Even if it looks like a homemade shot-on-video horror dud.

I agree with you. I thought it looked totally fine on the 4s, and it's pretty damn impressive for video that good to come out of a small phone. But the colors, the focal depth, the light in the 5DII was just so much better. It's mumblecore vs. Hollywood as far as production values go.

Thanks for the info! I was lamenting the lack of punctuation earlier, so this is a great help.

Does Siri get processed through the Apple servers or your individual carrier's network? Is it dependent on location? I'm confused as to why myself and lots of others are unable to connect while I see people on Twitter asking question after question with no problem.

I guess I'm a dummy for thinking it could handle native commands without external support, i.e. set the alarm, create a reminder, etc. Siri is not the reason I bought the phone, but the lackluster debut has dampened my enthusiasm for the 4s considerably.

Does Siri take a while to get warmed up? I just got my phone and tested out Siri with the most basic question ("What's the weather like tomorrow?") and she just cycled for 2 minutes before finally spitting out an answer. Not too impressive if that doesn't improve. I don't have any kind of accent or speech…

I just upgraded to Lion this week in anticipation of iOS5 and was repulsed by iCal's leather look. I immediately slid over to preferences to see if there was any way to change it, but no dice. Woof! It's a real dog.
