So, it is official. I have become a Gizmodo addict. But not only that, my obsession has begun to spread to Jalopnik. Facebook needs to look out, the ability to comment on the prevalent news articles each day in a sattirical manner creates an insatiable thirst.

@WolfCobra13: Yup! Next thing you know, you'll have a star, and it'll be even worse. I hope you didn't enjoy your life outside of this golden prison.

@Gordonium: Sometimes, when I'm on Giz, I go to my bookmarks to go to another one of my favorite sites, and I just click Gizmodo again.

Why am I so obsessed with phones?

I've gone from a Instinct (wasn't to bad to be honest) to Palm Pre, to 3GS, to Blackberry Tour, to HTC Hero and back to the 3GS.

Now I'm twitching for a Droid, Nexus One or Pre Plus.

What's wrong with me!

@jon.athan: You have too much money and haven't offered to give me any? That'd be number one on my list of guesses.

I have a question about Google Voice.

I know you can receive text messages to your Google Voice # via Google Chat but can you send them from Google Chat as well?

Can I bypass paying for text messaging on my phone?

#whitenoise Reply

Image of Decadence Decadence 11:23 PM

@Golf_Nut: I know you can send messages on the web-client. So it should be possible, not sure if its integrated into Google Talk(I hope thats what you meant by chat) yet though.

After reading blogs like TechCrunch and even this one and lifehacker, I've been scrutinizing my privacy situation.
Q for you guys...
What is the deal with people lighting themselves on fire over Google having a crapload of 'information' about people?

I mean, yeah, they know I like playing trumpet and work IT and fit in a few video games when I have the time and like to learn about new things and read books and maybe they know I keep a pen pal depending on how well their email watcher works...

but isn't that it? Shouldn't it just compile that into some statistics and serve me relevant ads? Sure, maybe they sell that to other companies... and what would they do with that? Serve up relevant ads?

What exactly and I supposed to be scared of? I haven't personally seen proof that something bad will happen to me because I use a bunch of Google's services.

@Reutnes: People are, for a lack of a better term, paranoid. They view the information(that they themselves input) as very personal. I don't understand the logic myself; but hey, it's a wonderful topic to talk about when you want people to nod their heads.

Has anyone started using Google Buzz? I need people to start trying it out with. All of my friends are 'Hotmailers'...

@nadav: Get new friends.

Also, it's still rolling out, so you'll probably have better luck in a couple days. I've tried out the new Buzz layer in the Maps app on my G1, but it's incomplete and missing features, so I won't be able to participate fully until it gets rolled out to me.

@rjp: There's a fresh, thin layer on snow on the cars outside but the ground is wet and no visible snow in Staten Island. Campus closed tomorrow for the big Wednesday storm, but nothing yet.

I want 18 inches of snow though. Bring it on.

There's a shortage of them on Giz though. Norwood said I should follow him over to Jez sometime. It's the polar opposite of Giz.

If the day should come that I am granted a star, I will be sure to NOT post a picture of myself with a sign professing my love of the editor responsible while wearing a dress.

This screw-in coffin seems very economical, both in saving ground space and not having to have heavy equipment to lower your family members into the ground. Cemeteries have limited ground in meatspace, so putting people in edgewise just makes sense. More »

Amphibious Bus Runs Into Water, Trouble, But Is Back Now

Glasgow's Dutch-built "amfibus" resumed testing today after being grounded for an unnecessarily deployed airbag. From the video on BBC's website, it looks just like a big yellow schoolbus, but runs in liquid and allows writers to make water puns. More »
