    My dad did this years ago by bending and stretching a coat hanger on the back of the TV. If that didnt work, he made me stand next to the TV with one hand on it and one hand in the air.

    In reply to Augmented Reality Twitter App Shows You Exactly Where Your Friends Are Tweeting
    The real question, though, is how many of your friends are including GPS data with their tweets? I mean, I suppose if you're on Twitter you're already pretty tech uninhibited, but location-aware-saturation hasn't yet reached the same level of comfort as information-saturation.

    I mean, it's no fault of the app. I'm just curious how many of the people I follow I'd actually find broadcasting the location of their tweet-dumps.

    @OCEntertainment: I think you'll see it quite a bit more as the tech behind it becomes more ubiquitous.

    Until a sorority girl is viciously and brutally raped and murdered after tweeting "omg totally drunk hopping in the shower."

    @Jux: Jux, you are just being paranoid about new technology. That won't happen.

    ....I don't care how good word prediction software gets, there is no chance that a drunk sorority girl is going to make it through that sentence without a single misspelled word.

    Why is it all these new phones with dedicated OpenGL accelerators never seem to have physical game controls?

    Man cannot game by touchscreen alone.

    In reply to LEAK: The Google Phone "Is a Certainty"
    This would be perfect for me. I recently picked up an HTC Hero from Sprint, and the first thing I did was grab the Google Voice app and set it to replace all of the normal phone functions (voice, SMS, voicemail), so it's like my Sprint number doesn't even exist. I work in a solid steel building, and data signals from Sprint's network can barely penetrate. So it's great having my phone set up to use the building's wireless, letting me make calls from areas that are complete dead zones for everyone else.

    Can we expect the Eris to follow shortly? They seem to be (almost) the same phone.

    @lpranal: Unfortunately, they're not exactly the same phone. Being one is GSM and the other CDMA, the kernels are different and require different coding.

    I mean, eventually, sure... anything is possible. But immediately, no.

    In reply to Dolphin Browser Gives Droid the Multitouch It Should've Had From the Start
    If you do have Cyanogenmod, the browser already does multitouch zoom. And I agree, it's really not a big deal -- I always use the double-tap zoom toggle anyway. (I dislike the zoom buttons eating a part of screen real estate at semi-random moments.)
