I work in cell phone tech support. I handle top-of the line (and bottom-of-the-line) phones on a daily basis. I read blogs about phones, help my friends with phones, and hang out with people who are all about phones.

My current pet peeve is a technical one, not an interpersonal one:

I agree on that, and I'm not really apologizing for Android... Any more than I would apologize for an upgraded PC. Androids, like many computers, are designed to be pretty good from stock, and AWESOME when you customize. If you want to (to continue the analogy) buy a Mac or HP instead because you want something

Well, this is a problem if you ONLY use the juices from the turkey as the liquid for the gravy. However, if otherwise you would use part juices, part water/broth/whatever, and then the remaining ingredients, then you just subtract the turkey juices. Because while the turkey is stewing, those juices naturally go into

"A V-rack proved essential, not only to hold the turkey in place but also to elevate the meat above the roasting pan..." It's hidden in the italicized notes before the recipe, I had to look back to find it.

I'm not really promoting your comment, I just can't comment on my own because LH/Gawker has a bug right now where the "Start a new thread" link has disappeared for some people. I've already reported it to the Help Desk. I'm sorry about hijacking your thread.

CamJN: His name is FrankenPC. Judging by that, I'd say he's the type that DOES like to buy electronics and customize the heck out of them with third party bits.

I've never liked the cold, distant style myself, but at the same time, I love Android. Mostly because I can personalize it to such an extent that I never see the cold, uncaring, slightly malicious glow of the machine inside. Instead, my wallpaper cheerily reminds me of things I enjoy, the widgets on the warm

No, no, I see what he's saying.

Needs more epic music to accompany the badass slo-mo stroll.

I've found that a turkey breast cooked in the gravy in a crockpot yields the most tender, juicy, flavorful, fall-apart meat ever.

Doesn't work, man. I get the same phenomenon when I turn on my phone. I think of something I need to check/add to my calendar/to-do list, turn on my phone... and forget why I did. So I just go check Facebook and play games for a half hour to justify picking up the damn thing.

I too have lost this option. Good on you for finding a way to bring it up... Me, I'm just gonna submit a help request at the Help Desk. (See Help link at bottom of all Gawker pages)

I was excited about this because I'm going to be making a drive from Seattle to Chicago in the near future, and it seemed like a great way to make the trip fun.

I disagree. They are significantly different. Significantly modern. Significantly... uglier. I much prefer an artistic type of card that looks like some real work went into it, instead of a huge typeface.

You can take brown packing paper and personalize it with stamps, including homemade stamps made out of sponges or potatoes.

A lot of people are nitpicking this to death, and yes, like most philosophical statements it's not always true. But sometimes it is, and for those who get frustrated trying and trying, waiting and waiting, this can be what they need to hear.

The difference is, this is more like if you suddenly stopped selling tomatoes, and Lifehacker told people to think about buying tomatoes at Safeway instead because the farmers told us they were refusing to sell to you anymore.
