    How about instead of all this extraneous bullshit Youtube implements the one feature I've been craving since day one: AN OPTION TO DISABLE FUCKING AUTO-PLAY.

    It's so obvious that it's ridiculous that it's taken this long.

    ... and yes, I already have the Firefox plugins. But I'd prefer a built-in solution. #gizmodoremainders

    The USB FM radio could be useful sometimes when you want to listen to a channel the doesn't or won't broadcast.

    For example.. A local station where I live cuts off it's online broadcast when it runs live KU football & basketball games (which is the only time I would want to listen). They cut the online broadcast because KU wants anyone listening online to be paying for the broadcast through another service they have.

    Also you could use it for easy rebroadcasting of a station online... Take what you pick up over the air and broadcast it online. There might be some legal problems there. But it would be a super low budget and easy way for a small station to get their broadcast online. #gizmodoremainders

    @yule-and-bellow: No - I mean if something initially costs $100 and someone says prices are cut by 50%, this means that the new price is $50. If they say prices are cut by 100%, this means the new price is zero. If you say the price is cut by 800%, this means the new price is -$700. #gizmodoremainders

    I think thats right, you can tell me if I am or not because you're first comment flew right over my head, proving you have the superior mind of us two...or google is paying people massive amounts of money to have all the data in the world put in their cloud...further inching them closer to world domination

    If you like the addition to Bing check out Clicker (was part of the TC50). It's a pretty bad ass service to find what you're looking for when it comes to tv shows and what not. I think it's still closed beta, but they kick out the invites pretty quick when you sign up. #gizmodoremainders

    mDP is still pretty pointless. HDMI is rapidly moving to replace DVI and has a similar footprint to mDP. The way I see it is soon enough HDMI will be the USB of the visual in/out world. #gizmodoremainders

    @Odin: Have you seen a Mini DisplayPort? it is way smaller than HDMI, but i will give you that HDMI in the long run will beat mDP.

    I also think HDMI would have been a sweet addition to the MacBook Pro, too bad i have to buy an adapter to go to HDMI... )-:

    I'm not saying your wrong on HDMI being better, just the foot prints are way different. #gizmodoremainders

    Well vertically there's not a huge amount of difference, it just takes up a little more horizontal real estate. Not that much more than a standard USB though. #gizmodoremainders

    Biggest news to me here: the iPhone only has a 2.5% national marketshare? Which nation is that? By my incredibly rough calculations, 2.5% of the U.S. population would be about 7.5 million people. I was almost certain there were more iPhone users than that.

    Then again, I live in geek land, where dumbphones don't exist, if you're running anything less than Win7/Snow Leopard, you're behind the times, and location-aware services are the norm. Also, apparently CDs are dead? #gizmodoremainders

    As a bicyclist myself I've got to ask: Where the hell is that guy locking up that bike? Baghdad?

    Thats a bit overkill if he's just running into the store or stopping for a bite (which is the only time I ever chain up to a street sign or the like). Kinda defeats the purpose of having two spots to chain to when one guy runs two different locks through the whole thing. #gizmodoremainders

    @Toastie: Yeah it still works, just not as well as it could have.

    You can get two bikes on a sign too, one on each side, but then you end up fumbling around the other guy's stuff, getting stuff looped, and maybe tangled. None of its a big deal, it can just get to be a hassle. A hassle that could be avoided had jackass not locked his bike down like fort knox when he's just getting a pack of gum. #gizmodoremainders

    @Rejexted: Probably precisely why they got the DoE grant. An 11x improvement in how much energy you can store per amount of weight greatly improves the outlook on electric vehicles if it can be scaled up.

    Plus... screw rocket motorcycles. How bout an electric one with so much power it throws you into the next state? #gizmodoremainders

    So somehow, in the minds of an analyst, a 234% increase is wiped by a 6% decrease? That's enough to declare it "mixed"?

    Following the writing of this report, the analysts blew $5,000 on hookers and coke. Then they found some spare change under the couch. Their cash flow position for the evening was declared "mixed".
