Yes its totally one of my weaknesses. Tall nerdy science fellows make me weak at the knees.

I support this idea!!! Our collective nerd boners can fund the next Mars rover!

Its happening: http://www.tumblr.com/tagged/bobak-ferdowsi and his twitter follower count is going up by the second.

Actually there are LOTS of good looking scientist in that room.

OMG SO FUCKEN EXCITING!!!!

Of course it can, but those services don't have the ability to remotely wipe my computer and devices.

The white 1st generation ipod nano. It was and still is a thing of beauty in and out. I cried when it was stolen from my car.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this mouse. Its funny because http://lifehacker.com/5931795/five-best-desktop-mice just had a a top 5 mice, and to me they are all over kill. I'm using a Microsoft desktop 800, and while the shinny black keyboard is a mistake, the wireless mouse that comes with it is pretty damn close to this one.

True enough. Though really that's true almost everywhere. The three languages posted here are really all you need.

While maybe 30 years ago this would have made sense, at this point, Hindi or Arabic would probably make more sense than French.

Man, i wish I knew earlier. I've already missed some pretty good bands! Dr. Dog and Metric.

I've never had a contract phone. I've been prepaid since 2001, and I've had the same number all along. When I was using a dumb phone I was paying on average $12 a month, and now I'm on a tmobile plan on an android phone that is $30 a month with unlimited data, text and 100 minutes (which is more than I need).

Yeah, the Alpha 2, which is what I think what most google searches point to, is outdated. The nightlies, which just got discontinues, fixed the audio issue about 2 months ago. Work is still on going but it will only be made in "major" releases.

So I lost my touchpad and like a total jerk i never really did anything to secure it, and so had to spend a lot of time manually removing access and changing passwords to keep myself protected.

Preferably, yes.

Yeah, there are better tablets for more money. My point is the bang for the buck aspect. There are scores of touchpads in the 150 to 190 range on ebay and craiglist, while the tablets you pointed out are going for over 300.

The audio was fixed a couple months ago. Voice search was working quite well in ICS on the touchpad. The front camera was the only thing left to really fix, and someone was working on writing a driver from scratch since neither hp nor the maker of the camera were willing to release the driver.

I am so bummed about losing my touchpad a few weeks back. I've been looking at new tablets to replace it, and it is still one of the best deals around. This probably just seals the deal. If only the camera worked. That would be rad.

That they don't carry the iphone.

Had they painted it all a nice shinny black, so it sort of looked lacquered, and yeah just a nice plain white LED strip light, and it would have been TONS better.
