Aww, Luke! You made a little pink blanket! Very skillful. Did your wife help you with the hemming or what?

@rebelphoenix1983: Believe me, I know. Unfortunately, graduate studentdom doesn't really allow it.

Well, if the internet has taught me anything, it's that every Brazilian woman is a Victoria's Secret model. Thus, those lucky Brazilian gamer guys can just have their beautiful, scantily clad significant others pay for their overpriced PS3s.

@Kris: Agreed, I just wish my laptop could handle it as well as my 360 does.

@Kris: Seriously. It would be cheaper for me to buy this than it would be for me to buy Shivering Isles - the only DLC I don't currently own - for the 360.

@marmin: Me too, but now that I have an Android with the wonderful turn-by-turn nav, I really want to use my phone as my GPS on my bike. That means getting a handlebar mounted power supply, and a waterproof mount for the phone itself. I certainly won't be answering it if someone calls. Nor will I be following the…

@Dabamasha: Your fridge doesn't need porn mate - it's hooking up with your microwave behind your back. Sorry to be the one to tell you.

Every day, I love Netflix a little more.

@pfc.joker: It's the RAM that kills me. I was just thinking to myself that my first ever PC upgrade was going from 4 MB to 8 MB. Now I'm considering the same upgrade, but in GB.

@Kevitivity: RoboDefense is pretty good if you like tower defense games. There is a free version, but you'll probably get hooked and end up forking out for the full version. Fair warning. :)

@tomsomething: Ha, so that's what Santa does for the rest of the year - he genetically engineers reindeer. I guess it makes sense, given their amazing abilities.

@tomsomething: lol. Their prostates already glow like the devil, so I guess they're halfway there.

@tomsomething: No, no, I said *red* ;p

@Gann: So you want chloroplasts? Could be arranged, but you'd look like an Ork :)

@tomsomething: Generally speaking, red light passes through tissues (and proteins) better than other wavelengths. I once genetically engineered a mouse line in which prostate cancer tissue would glow with a fluorescent protein. That allowed us to track the growth of the tumor in real time in live mice, without…

@FriarNurgle: And you call yourself a devotee of Grandfather Nurgle? Pah! ;)

@Almightywhacko: Yep, I was all set to get a Courier on release day if it was anything like the concept vids. It's exactly what I need. If MS had managed to release it this year, I'd have bought a new laptop, switched to WinPho7, bought Kinect and gotten the Courier inside of about four months. As it stands, they're…

@resvrgam: Ditto.

@TheloniousFunk: Yeah, they had models of Spirit and Opportunity, and they were a lot smaller. Bigger than an RC car though. I'd say about as big as one of those plastic cars that you push a two year old around in. I just assumed that the new one was about the same size. Dead wrong, as it turns out. There are actually…

@TheloniousFunk: It is, I got to see it earlier in the year on a visit to JPL. It's about the size of a VW. I was blown away, I was expecting something much smaller.
