@Pzychotix: All the time. In fact, when the iPhone for Verizon was announced I actually started keeping track of how often I used a data connection while on the phone. I've done it 10 times in about 3 weeks

I won't be switching anytime soon. I haven't had any problems with AT&T so there really isn't a reason to pay the ETF. Also the no data available while talking on the phone is a pretty big negative for Verizon. I'm sure it will be worth it for many though

I'll try it out. For me the problem usually isn't the process of theming, it's the lack of really good themes and the themes horrendous lack of performance

@McMike: You're right, maybe it's a line of TV's

An industry first? David Blaine will unveil a new phone, by literally pulling it out of his ass

@lostwallet: Yes, that's in giz's original post on the Playbook

@nobodyr: Thank god there's someone reasonable here who's not posting a knee-jerk reaction. That's exactly what this is for, now there is an official record that the teen was was breaking traffic regulations when she was hit, which will go a long way towards protecting the driver in court and with the insurance.

That battery life sounds like a bit of a stretch but the whole concept of a watch that just displays certain info and controls limited functions on a phone is pretty cool. It's a nice compromise between practicality and nerdtastic over-featuring

When?

@NullPointerException: The Confederacy used a Vigenere cipher during the Civil War, the person on the receiving end would use a key they had to decipher the message very quickly.

I've never heard of this before, it's pretty hilarious. I got just over 7.4 meters and honestly I was just laughing the entire time because of the ridiculous running animations and crunching sounds when I fall

@Nasdaf: Perhaps he'll be a villain in the next movie

I'm pretty sure I saw something like this floating in the men's bathroom at work this morning. There was nothing Newtonian about it, I know that

@crazycaveman eats the whales: I googled and found that amazon link but it says "add to wishlist" so I figured it's not out yet. I'll check gamestop though. I'm ok with wired because I sit pretty close while playing and I've had 4 play and charge kits just stop charging my battery pack so that I have to leave the…

They're making 250 of them? Are you fucking kidding me? It's an Xbox controller, not a Ferrari. And does that 250 include the blue one or just orange? The orange is ugly but I'd be all over the blue one

The whole HDMI mirroring is cool, but outputting a game from your phone to an HDTV while having to use the phone as a controller is useless. A Bluetooth controller would make it pretty awesome though

@Annalee Newitz: If anything they're the ultimate result of male sentience

Morons will always get in the way of science

@Standish: His use of spare is correct

@acrobaticrabbit: The "Everyone was in costume!" part was what totally made it for me
