So like Amazon's X-Ray vision on the new Kindle Fires but for live TV?! That's seriously freaking cool.

I had to lock down my laptop in college when we threw parties at our apartment because people would not stop changing the fucking music. I'm definitely with Sam on this one.

This is exactly what I want to see. The only reason I can see them not doing this is that if they give you the portal on a stock Android device you'd still have the option to buy things through Google Play. On Amazon's devices without Google Play you're forced to use their services, so they are guaranteed to make…

I want all of the Amazon services but with a stock Android home screen and the ability to install apps from Google Play.

Exactly this. It's also easier to punch in the code with an armful of groceries than it is to fiddle around with keys, at least in my experience. I also like that I can allow someone access to my home without having to meet with them to give them keys. If I ever decide not to trust them it's a lot cheaper/easier to…

I was on my way into a hospital last week to get blood work done for my son. There were cops everywhere when we showed up and I was concerned about entering. After one of the security guards assured me and my wife it was safe, we proceeded in and asked a few employees what was happening. Most of them had no idea what…

I figured the 5ft concrete walls would've made the sarcasm way too heavy to fly over anyone's head, but wow. Haha.

Nope. AT&T's job is to make sure I have the fastest service possible everywhere I am at all times no matter what. Even if I'm in a steel reinforced concrete bunker with 5 ft thick walls.

Who the fuck would want to read a blog about technology written by engineers and computer scientists? That would be fucking boring as all hell. You should probably find another fucking blog if that's what you're looking for. I'm saying fuck a lot because this blog allows me to do that. A blog written by engineers and…

This is definitely Apple? What does that even mean?

Joe Paterno's coaching career was Lolo Jones before there was a Lolo Jones?

To get started, yes. But I don't think it'd be terrible for MS to release a Surface-like device every time they release a major operating system. Basically like what Google does with the Nexus line, MS could do with their own reference hardware to say, "This is the baseline to provide a great experience to users with…

Some fat people just eat too much and don't exercise. They don't all have "metabolism issues" to blame.

Giant Eagle in the Pittsburgh area has little kids' play areas as well. They have a bunch of those toy train tables and the over-sized DUPLO blocks for the young kids and video games for the older ones.

I went from Verizon to Sprint for the original Pre when it came out. Sprint's coverage was "good enough" in my city that I didn't think the trade off would be too bad. I've certainly had worse service than everyone else I know that is on Verizon, but the unlimited plan helps.

I really think a Surface is going to be my next computer. I currently have an HP TouchPad running CM9 and my wife's 3 year old MacBook Pro at home and I get by pretty well with that, but I'd really like a Windows machine at home. This would be perfect. I can hook it up to a larger monitor/keyboard/mouse when I want…

Closing the gables and installing soffit vents is the plan, it just hasn't happened yet. The house was built in 1975 and I think what happened is when the previous homeowner had the roof replaced the roofer installed a ridge vent because it's pretty much standard at this point, but the homeowner did not have the…

Everything I looked into when I bought my home (it has a ridge vent but no soffit vents—two gable vents instead) said the most effective way to ventilate an attic is with ridge/soffit combo because it allows the heat to rise out of the highest point while bringing air in through the lowest point. My attic is ungodly…

Exhaust fans are dangerous. They can catch your house on fire before you even know what's going on. If you have a roof with a slope what you need is proper ventilation. A ridge vent and soffit vents are the way to go.

She could have been having contractions for a long time before it became time for one of the cops to get in there and pull some babies out. I'm sure if it came to that, they would've done everything they could to deliver the babies safely. Until there's actually a head coming out the best thing to do is tell the…
