Time to load up the car and donate all this stuff I have shoved around for years.

You can't copy one game disc to the thing with 4GB. The only reason I'd opt for this would be if I were using the box exclusively as a Media Center Extender.

This is just nasty. Nasty.

Both Les and Bear are interesting and capable guys. However I'd rather have Les with me if I were stranded in the wilderness with nothing; but I'd definitely pick Bear if any ninjas or warlords were part of the strandedness.

I really don't see this being very useful. Stolen phones will have even more to lose; and if it ends up needing a PIN to work it's no faster than swiping a credit card. The technology is neat but I'm skeptical on the real-world usability. I had a key-chain device for gas station pumps that was a proximity based…

I could just tell my wife it's for work. "Babe this is the new version I was telling you about, they're making me beta test it and write a lessons learned."

@SKiTz: That's what we did. She was very picky re: the setting and the wedding band but I got to choose the stone. I worked with a local jeweler and got a phenomenal price on an Ideal cut 1.19 ct stone with inclusions you need a microscope to see. She knew what setting she'd get but I still surprised the hell out of…

@AwesomeSquad: Drove me frigging nuts. Had to turn it down. That is the female version of the irritating, condescending voice that Hardees uses for their equally irritating and disgusting commercials.

Ugh, I can't read this. I haven't had my coffee yet.

Seriously, who wears a watch on their dong.

Good to see an eccentric billionaire out and about instead of hiding in a walled garden.

Step 1. Send this link to my wife.

Great article Clay. Thank you.

Great article. It's nice to get confirmation that I'm not the only weirdo that thinks this way. My main problem stems from grout seeping onto the tiles it surrounds. I'd probably be a neurosurgeon or rocket scientist if not for that. I guess some call it ADD but I now prefer the term 'grout seepage'.

I bought 2 iP4s last night from Best Buy (they actually had 8 in stock!) to replace my 3Gs and my wife's 3G. I did this knowing I have 30 days to return them with no restocking fee.

OK this is terrifying (from their site):

Wonder how long it will take for these to become illegal. Better order now!

@Kaiser-Machead: Without a doubt. However any full-size glass screened phone would suffer the same fate. Seems a bit unfair to bash Apple for something that would happen to any competing phone.

Holy missing comment and un-starring campaign, Batman!

My interpretation of the high-tech glass as a feature was that it's used for it's scratch resistance and tactile feel more than for it's drop durability. Any modern large-screen phone will break if you drop it on the wrong surface from the right distance.
