Correction Alert: Guantanamo Bay is not a part of NMCI. We run a separate, efficient operation that provides the network here.

Steve Jobs: "Beatings will continue until my approval rating is acceptable."

@swimtwobirds: re-orient. Orientate isn't a word. I'm not a grammar nazi, just have a particularly painful past with this one coming from the Army Signal Corps...

@mfusion: I think you have your dichotomies bass ackwards. It's huge bureaucratic institutions that can't get things done. If a government entity gets something done in a timely manner, it's usually because they're screwing the people they 'serve.' *cough* Obamacare *cough*

@Arggh! there goes a...snake a snake!: You are not alone...

You think our national debt is bad now, wait until Obama starts buying Yottabyte memory cards for his Blackberry...

@RuBBa_cHiKiN: North Gizmodo is Best Gizmodo: I've gotta say, I love it when people respond with pictures like this. There can be so many things communicated in the look of a character that honestly usually cause me to crack up.

Especially since they turned it around in pretty much a single generation with the 4850/4870 series and the low price point.

My computer usually runs good for about 6 months. As a habitual tinkerer, that's about how long it takes for me to try something that leaves my system borderline retarded and just this side of functioning. At that point it's usually faster and more reliable to format.

@minibeardeath: I can see some utility in that. No offense meant with this, but I would say you could probably benefit from some note-taking software if you're prone to write so many notes that you have to resort to the ceiling rather than a cork board next to your chair. That will either be free or cost at the…

I think they are over-selling this robotics experiment. It's cool that it automatically moves when a user stands up, but the only justification for that top part is that they can put it in your way, then magically get it out of the way when you stand up. Not much real purpose there, especially when compared to some…

This design looks to me as if a Celica, a Scirroco and a 350Z all got together and knocked one out.

Well, correct me if I'm wrong, I'm no NASCAR fan, but aren't there 5 or less total car models on the track, and they are all damn-near similar? If they were to do some sort of wind-tunnel testing on all of the models at different speeds then base their animations off of it then see what it looks like with another car…

Honestly, who needs a credit score when your out of debt and don't need loans anymore?

@The How-To Geek: But if you use the Google Browser Sync for Firefox you don't even have to backup your bookmarks!

Things would go much easier if website designers would just specify a css document for handhelds or make a wap.whatever.com subdomain that was formatted for small browsers.

I don't understand why you using a wireless connection would effect the ability for the program to stream unless you were having issues with your wireless at home. 54mbps, even subtracting overhead for encryption and such should provide more then adequate bandwidth to handle an average cable or dsl connection at full…
