I may be wrong here but the problem I see with always-on displays is one of perception more than technology. No matter how many numbers and graphs you put in front of customers that have, by demand, put an energy saving mode on most every phone on the market, the term “always-on” is a red flag not a feature. Certainly…

This is great, but I can’t see myself hurling my smartphone across the house like a ninja star as I did with those old reels, talk about one step forward two steps back.

Until I see the compute stick overtake smartphones or tablets, heck even low end PCs, for 400 and 500 dollars, I can’t see it as anything but a gimmick. That’s just from a consumer’s perspective. I still want one though, as an enthusiast.

Unless gaming, I’ve found anything from Linux to Windows Vista, let alone RT, can…

TL;DR
Just woke up and this is at LEAST a second cup kind of article, I’ll be back though.

I actually have to disagree, though I appreciate the advocacy for modern tech. The Compute Stick itself is a gimmick, if not a cool proof of concept. I especially like the 950s concept but the fact that Android devices have been able to do something like this for years, if I’m not mistaken, renders the idea at worst a…

I was terribly disappointed with how rigorously “sung” I found a lot of your picks in this list to be until I took off my fandom goggles and saw the reality of the situation: my friends and I just have great taste.

Porn joke. There, it’s out of the way; move on.

For the last several minutes I’ve been replacing “...phones...”, in that last paragraph, with a lot of different things and the accuracy of these new paragraphs is genuinely bumming me out.

Agreed 100%. Worthwhile journalism on any Gawker site feels like a genuine accident these days, but that’s the last thing people should be coming here for in the first place, don’t you think?

I guess I can cross “decent internet” off my list of things restraining my wonderlust. Next item on the list: crippling lack of gumption.

You’re right. I kept reading and saw that you worked it out and that’s good; it’s one way to use a semicolon, I thought. I’m surprised that you chose to talk about punctuation when, after looking at it again, I looked to be having a mild stroke in the beginning of my comment.

I’m pretty sure you’re just average internet-bro discourse; disregarding the entire point of a post in favor of picking apart how it was made. From what I read he wasn’t disagreeing with the points that you had made yourself, so why the quip?

“...heat trapping demon magic.”

That deserves a star.

“...heat trapping demon magic.”

That deserves a star.

I get it and besides, I liked the phrase “jack fuck”, keeping that one on me for later. Don’t let the morons earlier in the thread get you down; you have a nice day yourself.

Re-reading what I wrote, I don’t blame you for responding like that; I deserved some of it. Believe it or not I hadn’t meant to pin the blame on you, I just worded it terribly. I’m sorry.

I am not moralizing, no, but I am generalizing when I say that having “friends”, let alone “best friends” that were putting you on…

That was just plain witty, thought I’d drop in and say so.

If you have a best-friend for any real length of time that years down the road you sincerely think of as a “...shit-heel sociopath” there is a lot more for you to work on than just “getting new friends”.

A ball is a ball when you ball like Paul

Checks for stars; oh right, other people don’t have the compulsion to deride someone for having a good time on the internet while bothering literally zero other people. Here, have a star just because I don’t think you’re as much of a jerk as you made yourself out to be here.

I like you, Bryan witha “y”. Brian with an “i” was a power pole in the mud when he talked about this idea: http://goo.gl/QyMBTp
