Got a Wii U for the family. Was out of HDMI ports on the receiver. Got a HDMI switcher. Everything ended up changing, the boxee quit working, had to reprogram the harmony remote. It's currently 2:30PM where I am and I started about 8:30AM. I'm still not done....

He should collect unemployment.

To share between my own devices, I'm really fond of Pocket. To share with others, I'll use Facebook or Twitter.

As someone who went from a Canon Digital Rebel to the Sony NEX-5N and hauled both around Disneyland the past couple years, I will tell you that the quality/portability factor pays off. I'm no professional photographer but I want the options that an SLR can give me without all the weight and bulk. It was the best…

I don't think the Surface OR Windows 8 is *holyfuckingshitamazing* that MSFT expected it to be and Sinfoskys decision on whether to stay or go was possibly based on that. If they were huge successes, he sticks around and reaps the rewards. If they fail, he leaves. Note that personally I think both are great…

I carry about $300 on me. Like others here have said, I'm much less likely spend frivolously if I'm paying with cash. If its something beyond $300 then it requires me to question what I'm buying and if it's worth it.

Multiple monitors are hit and miss on Windows 8. For instance, I use 3 monitors. If I pin an app like Skype on the 3rd screen on the right, and then I go to the Win8(metro) screen on one of my other screen - that sidebar moves to my primary monitor - it's really frustrating.

Seems like a lot of commenters are angry that this thing isn't receiving the reviews they anticipated. It'd be one thing if just Gizmodo gave it mediocre marks - but the "it's almost there..." review is being resonated by most of the review sites at this point.

They shouldn't have made the keyboard optional. That truly would have separated the Surface from the rest of the pack. Now one of the best features.. is an accessory.

I do have to wonder how much confusion will happen with the average consumer and understanding the difference between the RT and Pro Surfaces.

I've been using Windows 8 for a while now and the RTM version is now on my main office workstation. I have to say that I'm pretty impressed. Speed wise it's awesome (running on an i5-2500k w/ 8GB ram / 256GB SSD) and faster than Windows 7 was on this machine. It's been rock solid and has a lot more polish to it. …

Mother of god. I can't imagine what kind of money they offered this guy.

Here's why....

ATH-M50 & SR80 owner here and I have to say, the M50's are one of the best 'bang for your' buck headphones. At that price point the sound quality is excellent. The only downside to them is that they pretty much ruined any of the other headphones I had in that price range in terms of sound quality. I do believe…

16GB model will be $199 or $249 (I'm thinking the latter).

Thanks for saving me typing all this - this is EXACTLY the reason it get's spoiled in advance. I have to admit it does ruin it a little to be honest. I'd rather wait forever after an official announcement personally.

Why isn't this article just called "Your smartphone really costs $X."? Why specifically the iPhone? If I own a Samsung GS3, Lumia 920, etc., it all works out to be about the same.

As a Dyson Vacuum and MacBook Air owner, this device sounds PERFECT!

Oh come on people. It's not a big deal. The whole reason it has better low light performance is because you're not supposed to take pictures during the day... DUH! Stop taking pictures in daylight - problem fixed.

I read these comments and when did people become so fanatical about their phones as much as religion and politics? It's not enough to just choose whatever works best for you? You have to proselytize your choice of smartphone to everyone else? Instead of thinking "well, that's an objective review of the iPhone 5"…
