    I'm glad to see someone thinking about aesthetics in home workout equipment. It's not the most important consideration to me but I like for the things I live with to be beautiful.

    On the down side, it looks like the stride length is a bit short. #mobia

    I think the idea of #trainingzones is misleading, and discouraging for a lot of people. Any level of physical exertion will result in increased calorie burning, but shooting for a certain heart rate often results in slow and boring workouts.

    Strength training combined with high intensity intervals is less boring, and in my experience more effective.

    Cardio machines like this are great if you are the kind of person that can deal with the monotony and boredom. But with the price-tag that comes with these machines you're better off grabbing a gym membership (at this price point you could go for years and still come out on top.)

    I'm not a physical trainer, but I swim for my college, and I'm training for a triathlon in the spring. #mobia

    @eagles3 speeeedin: You're a swimmer and a triathlete - keep in mind that we are talking about regular people here who are probably out of shape and have little time or motivation to exercise. #mobia

    Be honest. How many of you clicked JUST BECAUSE there was a barely-clothed woman in the thumbnail?

    Sometimes, technology surpasses human speed: today we are using mobile phones with more computing power then could be imagined 20 years ago – and even science fiction authors like William Gibson or Arthur C. Clarke didn't even anticipate them – but the user interfaces are split into "old-phone-physical" and "agnostic-digital" (Apple's iPhone succeeds because it is the first product to bridge this idiotic chasm).

    I think a lot of people would like to see a keyboard on the iPhone.

    So I guess I'm the only one who likes the color of paint silver? I mean the second most liked paint job on a car in 2008 was silver according to jalopnik.


    Anyway, I didn't buy a silver psp because I thought it looked like metal, only an idiot would think that it looked like an actual metal and not a silver paint. I personally like the color and it has a metallic flec in it that looks really cool.

    Maybe they'll let you comment again some other time but you need to be banned from MeatSpace for wearing those shoes.

    Canon only does their cheapo point-n-shoots in silver painted plastic. The Elphs are mostly metal.

    Wow, I just thought about all the Gadgets I have and realized that I have been subconsciously not choosing the crappy faux metal gizmos.

    @puntai: The problem is not the silver color, but the cheap veneer meant to make it look like a more expensive material. Once chipped, cracked, or scraped, the illusion is broken, and the material looks cheaper than if the veneer had not been applied in the first place.
