All I can think of is these things on every street corner reciting 1984-esque propaganda.

Brilliant. I could see these getting used as a temporary measure for when your computer dies and you absolutely need to get connected again. And I'm sure if these get out there people will be falling over themselves to make up uses for them.

Especially since we can't tell you even have a third.

You are a very optimistic person. I can see a handful of people paying $50 just to get the trolling opportunity of a lifetime.

Include a button on the charm that'll fake an incoming phone call as an emergency 'get me away from Creepy McCreeper' device and I miiiight be interested. Or try making some sleek black phone covers that don't have a pocket clip (because how many women pants have convenient pockets?) When I went to buy a case, the

Is it bad that my first thought was "oh thank god, the Red Cross won't have to be calling me all the time after my O- blood now"? I don't mind donating but yikes, for a little while I was wondering if I was the only O- donor in the county.

Dangit Hillary, keep this up and even my die-hard Republican mother is going to like you. And then hell truly will freeze over.

Yes, this exactly. I remember reading on Lifehacker that there was one from IKEA a little while back, but when I visited IKEA and asked the sales reps there all looked at me like I was crazy.

This would sound like a great idea if it hadn't been thirty-seven degrees this morning. Maybe later when summer rolls around.

Well, at least he talked to you? There's a lot of people from India in my apartment complex and they're all terrified of my dog. She's a big friendly golden retriever and people cross the street to get away from her. I had one lady run away crying because the dog tried to go say hi. I appreciate cultural

My family has never had pet insurance but I might get it as my dog gets older. My brother got it for his cats, as he has a FIV+ kitty and expects to have a lot of vet trips for her. She's the sweetest thing. Someone abandoned her and he took her in and this cat is insanely possessive of him now.

I adore the vet I go to. They are so great with my pets and have been more than fair on pricing. When I had to get a couple of my cat's teeth pulled they cut out a lot of extraneous stuff because I'd just quit my job (I couldn't handle the bigotry any longer). I even got a "we like your cat" bonus and they only

One year I wrote my mother a book for a gift. Took me three months, finished at 60,000 words, and now she's been quietly asking for a second one for years now. Except she wants a kid's book this time. An illustrated one. And since the subtle hints aren't working she's now telling all the neighbors about how she

The child kicking chair revenge is awesome. Little bit evil, lotta awesome.

I'm still trying to figure out how our internet usage as a whole has gotten so bad that they have to cap it.

That's true, but is color really going to solve the problems with reference books? From the few books with diagrams that I've read, the problem looks more like an issue of scale than color. I certainly won't be upset if they came up with a color screen, but I don't consider it that much of an advancement. I'd

I don't understand the push for color or video. My Kindle lets me read books. It does a really, really good job at that. Faster refresh, easier paging (because searching through books is still a massive pain) and other enhancements to readability are the features I want to see. I don't give a rat's ass about color

This makes me laugh, as one of the Facebook posts from my friends is the modified MLK quote with only the "Mark Twain" quote as a reply.

And I just lost my appetite for eggs. Not a hard thing to do as I'm incredibly picky about my eggs. If the yolk is even slightly runny it gets cut out and fed to the dog.
