Without a demo it is unclear how a helpless victim and a rescuer are supposed to be able ride this thing. A motorized boogie board would seem to be a better idea.

If the iMac is overpriced then why is there virtually no competition from other mfgrs with the same specs?

As these technologies become cheaper, they become more likely to be used against us. After all, if you need a million $ to make a weapon, then small hostile groups will not have them, but as they get below a few thousand, they will be everywhere.

I had the TSA take away a purple and orange hot glue gun a couple of years ago. It resembled a real gun less than a star trek phaser, but that did not deter them.

I would like to understand why a fishhook is considered a more viable weapon than a pen.

Congratulations, the TSA has fully indoctrinated you into their insanity where nailclippers are weapons and a picture of a gun is a security threat. Level 2 will introduce the idea that just thinking about a gun is a thoughtcrime.

I have saved at least $20 on free or cheap music and books over the last couple of months that I would not have known about without the ads.

Geez, the big news about the update is not the effects of its intended consequences (improve the functioning of the Fire) but the side effect of unrooting the Fire, something that probably 15 people have done?

Both covers seem to have the flaw that the side that touches the table becomes the side that folds against the screen, which makes transfer of grit and goo from the table onto the screen inevitable.

ahhhhhhhh!

The standard Gmail setup on ios devices does this already.

Truly a thing of beauty. I can only hope that this is a trailer for a stop action or puppet animated TV series about a post apocalyptic world where steampunk intelligent teddy bears are the torchbearers of civilization.

Kickstarter is like a microcosmic internet of things, and like the internet of bits there is a lot of great stuff and there is a lot of crap, and that is a good thing, because it is not always easy to tell the great stuff from the crap before you get a chance to play with it.

"Plus you can't go around tweaking genes like that in humans"

The words cargo cult come to mind.

Sadly it breaks when using tree style tabs, my one must have FF add on.

Hey, be patient, it is still in beta.

The new kindle local library lending is great if you have a great local library system like NYC, where I am sure they have tens of thousands of titles, but here in the Miami, FL system the pickings are pretty slim with only a few thousand of mostly older titles. Some libraries allow a paid membership even if you live…

I suspect there is a reason they don't actually show it functioning in the rain like you would expect an umbrella to be demonstrated. You would get soaked unless you happened to be riding the exact right speed to make the rain come down at the perfect angle. Also I can imagine the wind whipping that thing around like…

I think that your assumption about Cable not using data is probably incorrect. If a single HD datastream is roughly 1GB/hr, and they are broadcasting all 400 channels into my house, then that is 400GB/hr which I think is very unlikely, and a tremendous waste of bandwidth if they are, since I am watching a maximum of…
