It seems like Apple is wandering into the land of non user upgradeable ram and hard drive (maybe storage is a better word) again, which really turns me off to their new stuff. Apple has done this in the past, only to work upgradeability back in. Do you think this is a permanent direction for them, or just something…

I think that's the whole idea behind a smart grid... maybe you plug your car in ever night, but it only charges on really windy nights. The other idea is that the cars charge when theere is extremely low demand. Right now there tends to be an excess of electricity in the middle of the night (depending on the…

Depends on the car, some of the hybrids can go only like 10 miles on electric only... but that's a hybrid. Anyway, a Leaf or that new Ford can go like 90 miles. That new Tesla can go about 230 miles.

Well, since the FCC is now allowing cable companies to encrypt all channels, this box (along with simple.tv, and many windows media center setups) is dead in the water.

Weird, looks like they forgot to make the coat warm. Seems like that would have been helpful. Maybe this is a summer survival coat?

Those new iPod Touches look great, I'm really hoping the iPads (mini and full size) pick that up. Honestly though, I think a lower end iPhone with some color might really be where it's at.

Yeah, that's immediately what I thought! I played with that stuff when I was a kid.

Yeah, a lot of bike thieves in my area walk around with canisters of liquid nitrogen, I think it's a gang of high-school science teachers looking for some quick cash. (sorry, but sarcasm was really required on this one)

Yeah, same here... so if your house burns down, with your backup drive in it, you're still good. So like $10 a month for a terabyte... even if it took me 3 days to recover it, it would be worth it.

I started using Amazon years ago... simply because it worked really easily with my TiVo... and at the time, that was really the only (safe) game in town for buying shows and watching on your TV. I've been going with it ever since. I was thinking about switching to something else, and then the PS3 and iPad app showed…

Summer has been here for 20 days.

Ha, it's June 20th, summer is well underway, and summer allergy season began months ago. #corrections

I got that message a few weeks ago, that they wanted it for security stuff. They asked if I wanted to list the number, I said no, and you can only find it under security settings now. They did a really good job of being transparent about it.

The true origins of the Holodeck are revealed.

Yeah, i was thinking the same thing (I think I just commented right after you and missed yours). I suppose @MUSASHI66 has a point though, I guess most people won't notice. Still, seems odd they would make such distinct models and not try and diversify price more.

That's the price I expected... but I'm actually a little surpised the One X (and evo 4g lte) are both $200... I figured they try for some price difference to make a case for the One X being more premium.

ugh... #trollpatrol

Not being a troll... it's a solid critique people have been leveling at the windows phone platform for a while... one validated by the article pointing out that the stores never had many units... though I see that "darkly" is quite the windows phone champion... so I can understand the frustration. This is a…

Wow, I didn't know Microsoft had that many employees!
