@tucker augie'ben'doggy: I was born in '70 also. My elementary school had 1 appleII on a cart they pushed from room to room, I believe starting in 1981. I'm not sure if this was the first one I touched or my neighbor's commodore vic-20.

I have an appleII in my attic if there is a museum out there looking for one..

I could take my wife and she could blame the 3d for her "headache" when we get home...

This looks like my desk before I cleared it to make my wife happy. I like my junk too. I have a drawer full of old hard drives and one of them is marked with a sharpie "345mb bad sectors works" I have no desire to throw that puppy out. I'm not that far behind on tech, I have modern stuff, but don't try and…

Maybe Woz will be dating Penny and we will see if Leonard can hate him...

I recommend "edwin" for 2.1. adds translation, weather, calculations, and quite a bit more. works great on the incredible. I think it landed here in "this week's best apps" a few weeks back.

Little star trek fun for android.

Killed it for me when my work tagged it as a "chat" website and blocked it. Score one for The Man

my local library has a decent and current collection. They have a $20 a year fee for all you want 2 at a time. They make money because they charge $1 a day after the 2nd day. The library where I lived before worked it just like a book. all you needed was a library card and you could keep it two weeks, but they…

I wonder if the pins are all there and strait.

@phool: was this collection not on "Pawn Stars" a couple of weeks ago?

an RFID tag can hold quite a bit of data. enough that it would be possible to have a unique identifier for each item, not the same code for all of the same product like a UPC. So if they wanted to sit on all that data I suppose they could read tag on my underwear when I walk back in 3 months later and hit the…

Try reading the comments over on facebook and you may have a bit more appreciation for the way they are regulated over here.

Edwin seems pretty awesome so far. Thanks Giz.

@onNon: If you look at the caption for this article you can see what a comment looks like if you have the ability to promote. I have a star on gawker and the other day I clicked a gawker link without realizing I had left giz. I was just giddy for about 10 seconds thinking I finally had that star here but it was not…

I try to stick with jokewood or pieces of eight when making signs for the office.

@Knifesideleft: I'm no math wiz, don't get me wrong, but if the plane was closer to the camera would it not appear bigger than the scale at the street?

@Norm the Alligator: woops

@Norm the Alligator: Norm! Thanks for pointing that out, I stand corrected. I'll try to do better in the future. Next time I'll be sure to read all the comments by more intelligent individuals such as yourself. I may even look for things that are in the comments twice and point those out. Maybe I'll even figure…
