What someone CAN do and what they might have time to do are different things.

A waiver doesn't eliminate your right to sue. It merely acknowledges risks you are undertaking. If the vendor is negligent, they are still liable. Not a lawyer, so I'm not sure what the limits of forced arbitration are.

He's not wanted. The article says he *may* be avoiding a lawsuit, not that he's a criminal.

I do really hope you mean bawlin'. Othewise, I'm horrified by you.

I'm not sure if a seatbelt violation is necessarily probably cause there. In most places, not wearing a seatbelt is an enhancement to other violations, but not itself reason to pull someone over. I am neither lawyer, cop, nor resident of Kentucky, so I may just be talking out of my ass.

I would actually be cool with that. Existing "smart TVs" are kinda lame and limited and consumers know that there will be little long-term support or software upgrades for them. Kinect control is amazing if you understand what it's actually doing, but it isn't implemented well as a control interface and motion/voice…

Exactly! It's the complete opposite of stealing. It is paying someone for their creation. It's going to a mod team or underfunded commercial project and saying "Here's a huge fucking pile of money to do what you do even better. Oh, and by the way, please help yourself to any of our world-class talent that you care…

In that case, carry on, sir.

I find the calendar skeuomorphism in the iPad's calendar absurd. It wastes screen real estate and distracts from calendar content all for the sake of a visual metaphor that most users will never have encountered in real life. For most people, a computer calendar *is* a calendar. It doesn't need to be equated with…

Genetically engineered foods, as a practical matter, are more of a bad business practice than an unhealthy food choice. There is no science showing problems in GM foods, though there are certainly theoretical pitfalls which could result from the practice. The bigger issue is with how they force their way into the…

No kidding. A small today is bigger than a large when I was a kid (the 70s).

It sounds like the government fined the school, not the consumers, for a specific statutory violation. That's a very different thing than the government fining us for what we eat. It doesn't even mean the government prevents kids from bringing sodas to school, just that the school isn't allowed to sell them.

Agreed. I honestly don't understand how Ford and Holden can treat Australia as a distinct market. Only 22 million potential customers there. Why not share the love with the rest of the world?

This is Gizmodo. Lemme know when you find something around here that isn't a first world problem. 'cuz, you know, gadgets.

If Giz had to rely on Samsung and HTC news to generate ad revenue, they could afford 1 editor part-time.

You can already get a soft home button through the accessibility options.

Last time I checked, companies are in business for profit, not market share.

Why the quotes around my name? Not that it is at all relevant to whether a name should be quoted, but my last name is actually Wilson. Sorry I didn't pick a cute handle like you.

At the same time as the reversed the logo, Apple implemented visual and physical cues on the laptops to clearly indicate which side opens. Depending on model, they have had tapers, latch buttons, and finger grip divots since then that make it pretty clear.

Would you like to talk about why the pretty girls make you so angry?
