@Canadian: It's basically decriminalized in the U.S. unless you're growing or dealing. People don't really go to prison here for possession of personal-use amounts. (Well, maybe in the South, but not in America proper.)

@medic.green: You say: "(1) It isn't my idea to be here. Politically I have many ideas contrary to our current national defense strategy. I would rather be providing the same training, support, security, and public works projects to our very own cities and towns."

@fughedaboudit: Yeah. The big issue with changing currency here is that you'd have to retrofit every vending machine, etc. to take the new stuff. QR codes on standard-sized bills would solve that problem. OTOH, I think there already exist bill readers for existing currency, so maybe the issue blind people have is…

@fughedaboudit: Aren't Euro notes different sizes for different denominations already?

@ΡŻ: Well he has accusers, ne c'est pas?

@miocene: Yup. Pretty much every nice-ish restaurant I go to these days makes a big deal about sourcing their meat and produce from local, small-scale farms.

Is it just me, or is this like the fifth time Giz has plugged this app in the past couple of weeks?

@Kleppy: Maybe intentional but still wrong.

@OCEntertainment: What for? I've owned three iPhones, plus one for my fiancee, and I've never had to take any of them in.

@Zinger314: LOL

@mmseng: Not true.

The biggest missing feature in Reeder IMHO is the ability to add or remove feeds. Having to exit the app and go over to Google Reader is a pain.

@Stuart Cooper: Most of the Western world disagrees with you.

Private browsing mode looks like a hassle to turn on. I use Atomic Browser which lets you toggle it from within the app. I do like that the window color changes to remind you that you're in private mode, though. Atomic gives no visual sign.

@Algerad: Actually, no. My iPad 2 has no GPS but can still navigate pretty accurately using wifi triangulation.

@2nd White Line: I agree—London's public transit is pretty fantastic. I could do with fewer Tube outages, but otherwise it's great. Top level of a bus is a great place to tour the city from.

That's one fine-lookin' verbatim press release.

@isights: Exactly. What that 30% buys the publisher is 1) a turnkey distribution platform that they don't have to develop or maintain, and 2) a whole lot of eyeball traffic that they don't have to whip up themselves.

I'm actually really excited about this feature—a way to tell that have an e-mail or missed call from across the room is the only thing I really miss about my Blackberry. Well, that and Blackberry Messenger (which iOS 5 is also taking care of).
