Anyone who's worked a full time job in retail after having a desk job has dealt with the sore feet/legs/back stuff Gina's talking about. In my experience, the adjustment only took a couple weeks. It really made me realize how out of shape I'd been.

Verizon claims they haven't sent Froyo to my Eris because the phone can't handle it, but after rooting and installing a Froyo ROM, my handset works better than ever. I wish carriers would let updates work more like do with computers. I look at my device specs and the demands of the OS, then decide whether it makes…

That music sounds like the info channel on a cruise ship TV.

Police Quest. Space Quest. Heck, any of those old Sierra games.

I just noticed paid apps can only be refunded within 30 minutes, rather than the 24 hours Android allows. That makes buying one that costs more than a couple bucks a risky proposition, unless they have demos or free versions.

Perhaps someone could explain to me why ad-supported tech blogs are always touting ad blockers. How would this site pay its bills without three separate Comcast banners on my screen?

There's such a thing as a semi-automatic shotgun? I thought that was just a Grand Theft Auto thing.

This is standard practice in countries with high energy costs. In Bermuda, you have to pay a tax if you don't have a white roof.

Mistaken? Perhaps you mean "fraudulent." Your headline suggests this was an error, rather than an issue Verizon knew about for years and chose to do nothing about, which, as a former retail employee, I can say was definitely the case.

@Alejandro Barrios: Perhaps, but that's not my point. I read this on Gizmodo and didn't realize until now it was reposted from Fleshbot. I wouldn't even be on Fleshbot at work, but I expect a Gizmodo link to be clean.

I'll take my share of the responsibility, but maybe a NSFW on the photoshopped cum shot link would be appropriate.

I love how Roku always pushes out it's new channels and software to all of its devices, rather than crippling legacy models to pressure my into replacing my perfectly good box. Unlike cell phone carriers who won't push a new OS to any handset they no longer carry.

@bg-dez: I use PlayOn to get ESPN3 (and random other things like Hulu) streamed to my WD TV Live. I believe it also works with a number of gaming consoles. The quality doesn't really hold up on my 52 in. TV, but sports were the only thing keeping me from canning cable. I did just that two months ago and I don't…

I have a Roku and a WD TV Live with PlayOn streaming to it from my desktop. Unfortunately, that chart proved there still isn't one device that can do all the things it's taking me two settops, an external hard drive, and a media server to do (no, I don't technically need the hard drive, but I do if I want to be able…

@xenti: I saw that episode of "Six Feet Under" too.

I'm skeptical a live You Tube will be able to avoid being filled with webcams pointed at pay TV stations (like Justin.tv) or fifteen year old girls in their underwear (like Stickam). Because they're the big boys, they'll get all the flack for copyright issues and fifteen year old girls in their underwear issues, just…

If you're leaving your job, why worry about running afoul of corporate policies?

Does that mean my first gen Zune is finally cool?

One more thing to add, based on my own experience: always have your recovery disks handy. Some manufacturers will give you the choice of sending your disks back with your computer or charging you for the privilege of using the ones their repair centers already have (I'm looking at you, Toshiba). I learned this the…

Put it on my Roku, then we'll talk.
