Yes you are missing something. If you want to hold the device with one hand in portrait mode, you (or a lot of people including me) put their pinky at the bottom to help it from sliding down. Well that is unconveniently right were the power button is. Also sometimes when I am laying or sitting down I rest it on my…

You've got a... point? *dada tsh!*

This is pretty cool. I guess if I ever wanted to join the army I'd look into this.

Ah, I see. I like to level grind and all that then go wreak havoc on most FF games, and I too was disappointed with XIII in that regard. I figured you played MMORPGs because thats where I learned the patience involved with level grinding and item gathering. Taking those skills into an offline RPG, you usually find it…

Sounds like you've played a few MMORPGs ^^

I always figured I wouldn't let my kids see the new stuff until they got a taste of what I grew up with on NES and SNES and Sega. I knew I kept all those consoles for a reason.

Yeah, good call. haha

Ha, I like how he was talking about "building bicycles." In his biography by Walter Isaacson he talks about how Steve wanted to change the name of the Macintosh to the "Bicycle."

My thoughts exactly. Made me chuckle.

Yep. Just bought the inflatable shark a few days ago and just brought it to the office. It's a good friday... BUY IT NOW

The html comments on that page are funny.

*Yawn* It was already in Mango for WP.

Yep. Every time I watch it I realize that it was the single best purchase I have made in the past few years.

Exactly my thoughts. I remember shopping for a new LCD tv a few years back. After spending a few weeks looking at the different brands and their models, I was able to know which TV should be better than others of the same brand soley on their model names. That in tern helped me know what was a better deal if a certain…

Wouldn't a strobe light or other flashing lights at a club set a chain reaction of these things off? Then nobody can see... and people die.

Maybe the Iranians are just using a signal jammer and are waiting for us to hold the receiver in just the right position with our hand on the antenna while doing a handstand before they turn it off... :)

Oh and I always accidentally hit the power button with my pinkie! I'm training myself to hold it upside down.

Yep spent the 2nd day I owned it trying to figure out why it showed that I would be connected to a signal but there would be a little "x" below the signal icon. Restarting my cable box, router, and kindle fixed it... till it happened again. It didn't matter what wifi network I was connected to... I also am sporting…

First thing I thought of was that the code was hidden in the image not the hex on the image. You did a base64 decode on the actual image right? Not the text? I figured if they wanted you to focus on the text it would have been copy/pasteable.

I have that exact same netbook and I backed up all my files but haven't gotten around to installing it. With win 7 it's slow as hell and the battery doesn't last near as long. Let me know how it goes if you do get around to installing it, but I realized that I never use my netbook anymore (only as a wireless network…
