What are you using for the black notifications?

:D :D :D

My friend brought coffee from japan that was awesome. Basically it was coffee in a sealed coffee filter bag, that you tared open at the top, popped out handles on the side that held it over your mug, and then poured hot water to brew the coffee. A little on the weak side, but perfectly drinkable.

Even if apple wanted to employee people to do this in the USA, there is not a single plant here that could build their devices. Also, Americans are just not interested in these jobs. You say, oh oh, no they are, but its a complete fallacy. People seem to think Americans are ready to do hard/repetitive labor, but they…

Yup! Loved it while I was there. One of the benifits of the tuition if you ask me.

Haven't noticed any. I've used them primarily as a cheap upgrade for older desktops with old network cards, and the wifi dongles seem to speed things up if anything.

No you are totally right. Before the redesign the open thread would easily get into the 200 comments neighborhood. Now you are lucky if you get above 75. Its depressing mostly because i lost one of my favorite places for intelligent tips.

I've used usb dongles, and they've worked great. I've had much success with the cheap 11 dollar chinese no name ones from ebay.

Its the little things isn't it? For me the whole, close the lid and sleeps, open the lid and wakes up, every time, is one of the reasons I stick with macs. It just unbearable to not have that simple basic function work without fail every time, and yet with a PC i always feel like I'm taking some sort of gamble.

What about using the Belkin Conserve power strip with the remote switch: http://amzn.com/B003P2UMNK

Their current network set up makes it so that if you want to use the iphone you are stuck with edge speeds. However they are working on converting one of their bands to be 3G+ compatible with the iphone: http://gigaom.com/apple/7-percent-of-t-mobile-network-iphone-compatible-in-july/

This is basically me, only I had tickets to a show.

No. What will make that happen is that tmobile is updating their network to work with iphones' 3/4g speeds.

First of all, the law was passed by congress, and second of all it was passed before Obama came into office: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_Independence_and_Security_Act_of_2007

The ATV3 has been updated jailbroken for some time now: http://www.appletvhacks.net/2012/05/13/apple-tv-3-jailbreak-status-update/

A hacked apple tv can do pretty much all of this. Hacking the apple tv is relatively easy. Probably takes about 2 minutes to do, and then about another 10-15mins to install and set up XBMC. Though most of time time you are just waiting for stuff to install. You can get one for under 100 bucks in the apple store's…

I have to admit that this is genius on Facebook's part, but it would be nice to allow me the birthday boy to select the shops that show up. I'm sure Facebook knowing so much about me will pick an appropriate advertiser.

I am 100% interested. Had a nook color, and the dev team did a great job of making it a viable tablet. If the 9in model gets to under 250 as a refurb/deal it will most certainly find a way into my hands.

So what's the deal. Are you getting two iphone 5 now?

Gizmodo was banned from apple special events and from testing out apple products after they bought a lost iphone prototype. Since then they've had to rely on "meta" reviews, until they can get their hands on one they are available to the general public, like everyone else.
