One of the original uses for Radium was as a health tonic. It emitted a "healthy green glow". No foolin'. (Just don't ask me to site a source, 'cause I'm lazy).
Linux is great. It's a free, open-source operating system (OS) based on work done by Linus Torvalds in the early '90s. Again, it's free, powerful and easy to ...
Oh wait, it's a pain to use. Let's get this straight: Linux is very good, and leads the charge in an ongoing revolution in free software. However, a lot of Linux users out there give the whole thing a poor name. They forget that most people don't know as much as they do about computers. Some people garden, write poetry, fall in love or ... er, bloviate about gadgetry.
Please don't confuse your fanaticism with superiority and, for the love of Jobs, stop telling us we're sheep under the sway of Microsoft. No one likes Comcast either, but until it's convenient to string our own fiber optic cable we're sticking with it. (Msnbc.com is a Microsoft-NBC Universal joint venture.)
Cool if: You're not heaping disdain on the rest of us, or maybe if you're in charge of a server farm.
Not cool if: You feel your mastery of computers excuses your inability to control a neck-beard."
Oh you are such a sucker if you bought one of these.
Apple's new MacBook Pro, meanwhile, is crafted from aluminum using a process code-named "Brick" that involves lasers and water (... and unicorns and David Bowie and trucker hats and whatever else is hip in places like Brooklyn these days).
But the MacBook Air? No amount of breathless advertising sufficiently obscures the fact that you paid a premium for an elegantly designed, under-featured, overpriced laptop without an optical drive.
What does it do? It fits in an interoffice mail envelope and it has rounded edges. Forward that junk to Frank in Design. After all, everyone already knows he's a self-indulgent boob.
Cool if: You're a rich, self-indulgent trend-follower.

@Pi-face: I wasn't questioning his opinion of the MacBook Air. It was the writing that I had a problem with. I mean, "..and unicorns and David Bowie and trucker hats and whatever else is hip in places like Brooklyn these days" What the hell is that?
@Lite: Most of the time I'm not on the phone. Wearing the earpiece also makes it look like I am on the phone during those times when I'm screaming at the idiot drivers around me.
@Jrsy is the dude, playing the dude disguised as another dude: I was remarking to the woman the other day. "It used to be that if you saw someone walking alone, talking loudly, and gesturing wildly to no-one you knew to cross the street as they were obviously crazy. Now you don't know if they're on the phone or just crazy.
@Lite: He doesn't have any of the gadgets on the list, and therefore cannot look up the nearest tattoo parlor to get a big Oracle logo tattoo on his left nut.
"The New Phone Books Are Here! Page 73, Johnson, Navin, R.! I'm somebody now! Millions of people look at this book every day! This is the kind of spontaneous publicity, your name in print, that makes people. I'm in print! Things are going to start happening to me now."
@douchebagantics: I don't care what anyone else thinks; Bluetooth is the way to go for in-car headsets for sure, and even for street-talkin' while you're street-walkin'. I'd even switch to Bluetooth for stereo headphones if iPhone supported A2DP and the sound quality were a little better.
@douchebagantics: Driving with a headseat is much safer than driving without one. Studies have shown this over & over again, and it's pretty common sense: one hand on the wheel isn't as good as two. That said, the hand-free laws aren't just a thing of CA. We have them in many areas of PA, and they are enforced as secondary offenses (they won't pull you over for it but will write a ticket if you are pulled over for somethign else).
Also, you're forgetting that everyone who drives a manual transmission car drives with just one hand on the wheel a lot of the time. it doesn't make a difference.

Nothing gory, but weird that it was filmed, edited and survives today on Youtube.

And those Dbag laws about hands free is only followed by Dbags and those who don't know better.
Cant tell you how many cops ive seen here in California driving around with one hand on the wheel and the other on the cell phone.
