I always rather liked the idea that the iPod was almost a separate part of the iPhone, even if that wasn't actually the case. It's not a big problem, but it seems kind of sad.

I don't think that's a real person. It looks like they were demonstrating some kind of dispersal device (the pilot clearly drops something out of the side, and that smoke doesn't seem to have been caused by the plane). The figure also seems to collapse in a very odd way. The collision may be a mistake, but it just…

Huh. I never knew that. I stand corrected, although I do still suspect that "tasered" is probably a portmanteau of tase and stunned.

Also, I may be wrong, but I can't think of any words that end with "-er" that retain the "r" in the past tense. e.g., "the hunter hunted/the hunter huntered."

Taser is a trademark, so technically speaking, there probably isn't a correct past tense, since it isn't a real word. Webster's dictionary suggests "tased," and since the action is "tase," then that would seem to be the correct form. My guess is that "Tasered" is the result of some kind of portmanteau of Taser and…

It's also worth noting that $2000+ price tags have never been uncommon when it comes to ThinkPads. They know that their primary market is people and companies who can afford to spend that much (or are buying in bulk at reduced rates), so they have no reason to try and match competitors prices. They tend to have huge…

They're not really aping the Air with the lack of an optical drive. X-Series laptops have never (maybe one does, I forget) had optical drives.

Martin Mull solved the make-shift guitar slide problem over thirty years ago.

They lost me when the guy reveals the incredible secret that Avatar is a "genre film" fitting into the "sci-fi genre."

I find that I only use Froogle when I'm trying to find something really obscure. I don't know why, but I'm never very satisfied with the results.

Ah, but what happens once your attempts to get in fail and you need to live out the rest of your days surviving in the wild?

I had unlimited on my 3GS, lost the phone last April, cancelled my data plan, contacted them after they killed unlimited data, and they allowed me to keep the unlimited plan for my iPhone 4.
