I think the advice is against refrigerating coffee as its typically sold, in one of the paper bags. That would be a horrible idea. Coffee does absorb odors very well. In a sealed, dry container coffee will last longer.

If this is anything at all like running ROMs off SD on the Nook Color then SD card selection will be critical. Many high performance cards actually suck when it comes to the type of small, repetitive random r/w operations needed for an OS. Cheap Sandisk cards, like you can get from Radio Shack end up working the…

How about a mobile app too? For a company that's pushed everything else it has to mobile Amazon has really held back on the video front. The "Not optimized for mobile" that it sends when it registers a phone browser usually means frame rates in the seconds per frame. Hopefully they release an app with their tablet…

You missed the option to turn public streams into RSS feeds via [plusfeed.appspot.com] .

The whole invite rush process where people were posting up emails begging for invites is the kind of thing that men are much more likely to do than women.

If you use Gmail your contacts should be synced to your Gmail account. They don't need to be backed up, they will resnyc automatically.

Trailers for this kind of movie are going to suck. Its an animator's nightmare. They have to get it 95% right in order to have an actual movie to work with and then spend months on getting the details tweaked so it looks perfect. So you have something at this stage that looks 5% wrong but the final product should…

Always get a good night's sleep before going mattress shopping. Your body will confuse comfort with sleepiness once you've been laying down for a while and you won't be able to make a good decision.

New accounts seem to get the best results with invites. So if you get a friend or family member invited and can get them to reshare a link to a larger group you stand a better chance of getting more invites sent out than if you do it yourself.

$100 for four apps! Even for Leapfrog that's penny pinching. Other articles were mentioning that apps were supposed to run in the range of about five bucks each with cartridges being around $20-25. A Nook Color would be a much better deal, more apps of better quality, much better hardware.

Hmm, Facebook is blanked out now on Yahoo as an option to import contacts :(

WHY? Because its a WSJ article and it has more to do with stock prices than actual technology. What its doing here is beyond me.

Giz, if you're going to quote a WSJ article, would it kill you you to correct the blatant errors. The whole premise of the article is that Apple is based on syncing while Google and Amazon are based on streaming.

My four year old still occasionally wants to play with her LeapFrog console even though we have an iPod Touch and a Xoom in the apartment that she goes to far more often. The games aren't that great but still fun every once in a while.

The idea of an android home phone isn't bad, but that just looks like a mobile phone in a docking station. If its going to be a stay at home device then there's no reason it can't be home phone sized, especially given the price.

ReadyNAS used to be my favorite pre-Netgear but there's been much more competition since they got bought out. Their 2 drive products are basically Netgear cashing in on the goodwill of the ReadyNAS name without offering anything special while the 4+ boxes do have great features but are much more expensive than…

They don't provide a storage limit but the software they are using is PlaysAnywhere which leads me to believe that this is little more than a third rate version of Subsonic or Audiogalaxy. Probably no actual cloud storage as you'll have to leave a computer on for it work and with Best Buy's software serving songs back…

Phone Locator looks suspiciously like SeekDroid. Not really a fan of apps with minimal reviews that mimic the look of much more popular apps, especially when it comes to security features.

That cooling cap looks fantastic. When I get migraines an ice pack is about the only thing that will let me fall asleep, although they do not stay at a useful temperature long.

There's the Chillow which has a layer of cold water trapped inside foam that you stick inside a pillow, but it doesn't always last the whole night.
