Whoa what is this?! Someone with some actual firsthand knowledge of the material? Thanks for your points; they're the ones I came to make.

Not sure why people think that two of the same model cards will behave the same. All it takes is one capacitor value to be 10% high on one unit and 10% low on the other for performance to be drastically different between them. Add to this the propensity for human error during assembly and engineering changes that may…

This is a real concern for US design firms. The RMB strengthening against the dollar hurts us a lot as well. It's not uncommon to see China raise their prices on manufactured goods by about 20% in a year like this.

We will never know the world of computing that could have been. Goodbye Senor.

I am in China on business and have been into Shenzhen for two days since I've been here. One of my meetings took me into the district where they are holding the track events (the events are spread all across Shenzhen, which is comparable in size to an American county).

Controlling lights from your phone isn't really new.

Have fun taking 700 years to crack my randomly generated, 10-digit, 4-character-type master password, that I will change again next month, hackers.

Thermite grenades. Holy. Shit. I just found a new paperweight.

C'mon hive mind! How does Usenet PVR not make the list?! I cut the chord before armed with three of the above 5 (BitTorrent, Netflix, and Hulu), and lasted about 5 months before going back.

Also, they're $56 and currently sold out.

I've been using it for about a year and absolutely love it. It's a little weird to get used to the controls and figure out how everything works (press and holds, menu button functions, etc), but once you get it going, it's great.

Step 1: Cell jammer. Step 2: Outlet timers. Step 3: Plug router and cell jammer into timers.

There are tons of pictures in there from random people...

UV protection is just a change in the plastic mixture. It doesn't affect dimensions.

First thought: weirdest headline ever.

@Nitesh: Seconded. I clicked the article thinking I might buy one, saw $25 off, and said "meh".

@Butters619: Whoomp There it is was 1995!

@cassiebearRAWR: I own four chargers for my EVO: one for the bedside table, one for the home-office, one for the desk at work, and one for the car.
