That's true. I'm just saying — they sell LTE by pushing "it's so fast! enjoy it! use it for everything! social networks! video streaming! whatever!". It just doesn't mesh with the data throttling/capping/etc. that goes on in reality.

Seriously. This is a really embarrassing article. The amount of effort involved compared to the minimal effort it takes to just give yourself enough time to park like every other person in the world is absurd. Nobody is special, there's no reason anyone should have the gall to feel entitled to park illegally, even if…

Thing is though, they're stuffing HDMI ports into phones — which makes them a legitimately useful tool for streaming netflix to a friend's TV or something similar. The carriers are pushing for users to do more and more with their phones with one hand, and then are punishing them for the fact that moving our internet…

I can't help but feel like these "lightning review" posts are drifting more and more in the direction of "we didn't have any actual gadgets to write about so we ran out to the dollar store and grabbed something random". Seriously, I'd take boring reviews of obscure wired routers over this dumb plastic stuff.

I'm happy to say that I just bought the Samsung Charge and I've been blown away by the battery life. Even considering the fact that it's a 4g phone, I'm getting 17+ hours on a charge no problem. Now, it's sad that that's to be considered great battery life... but it's much better than my experiences with other phones…

Haha yeah that's totally true. It would just be cool to have the ability to play any game on a relatively authentic platform.

You know what would be awesome? A gameboy case made to go over the front of the iphone, covering all but a gameboy screen sized section of screen... with buttons that would activate the touch screen of the phone, paired with an emulator mapped to take inputs from the correct placements on the screen. You seeing what…

Everyone thinks that two dollar bills are rare, but in reality they're still minted. You can just go ask for them at the bank. There's even groups of people who go out of their way to use as many two dollar bills as they can so as to get more into circulation.

To that I'd say that the problem is only going to get worse the longer we wait. The government needs to have a functional presence on the internet.

Everyone is flipping out about the fact that the savings aren't that big, but they're missing the second, arguably larger point: We're moving to a web-based world, and the government's web presence is horribly broken. Yes, maybe it seems like a big, potentially money-costing hassle to spend time figuring out what web…

Jeeze. It seems like not streaming TV via IP protocols is a hugely inefficient decision on the part of the cable companies.

A friend of mine actually asked his chem teacher how much sodium it would take to blow up a pond... teacher thought about it and actually gave him a totally serious answer. Did warn him that it would likely constitute a biohazard though.

Pretty much anyone who took a high school chem course knows about this. It's every dumb teenager's dream to get enough sodium to blow up a pond or something.

I feel like saying "we have all been pwned" is a pretty big stretch when most of the comments on that gizmodo article were people pointing out all the blatant unrealistic elements of the video. Really the only person "pwned" is the Gizmodo writer who thought that the video was actually of a real tattoo.

I'm not saying that there aren't things that are just as ugly or uglier — I just feel like for a company that's main focus seems to be on aesthetics it seems like a really aesthetically disappointing interface.

That's what I've felt like about iOS since when I first got a 1st gen iPod Touch — the user interface just looks tacky. Every time I see a screenshot of the default iPhone setup I feel like I'm looking at a bad Chinese knockoff... I guess I'm just spoiled by being used to more customization options, but I can't help…

At $616, is this perhaps some sort of cursed sweater of the beast?

Aside from the fact that this seems sketchy and douchey, I feel like if there's an item I really wanted that bad, I'd rather pay a little more for it than run the seemingly likely risk that some other buyer is going to get said item when my stupidly low offer is declined. If something is legitimately too highly…

That's because chain restaurants aren't actually a good deal. Find a little, local breakfast place and I bet you'll be shocked at the fact that three plain pancakes aren't $8 there.

I guess I've never understood the point of a random password — sure, you're getting something that nobody's ever going to be able to guess, but unless you've got a photographic memory you're probably not going to be able to remember it without storing it somewhere, which seems less secure to me. I'd rather just have a…
