So, is it normal to design subway platforms that slope downward into the train tracks? #gizmodoremainders

There is also the carrying of aromatics out of the beverage through the carbonation, as per the recent articles on champagne bubbles. (e.g. [www.guardian.co.uk]). This only refers to bubbly, but I would be rather surprised if the same principle was not at work in other carbonated beverages. After all, beer and cola are full of aromatics as well. #gizmodoremainders

Wait so nobody felt the need to post about the baby nearly dying because it wasn't 'gadget-related' enough for Gizmodo, but you jumped in with a BREAKING article about a balloon flying away? And then posted 5 more articles about the most retarded hoax ever, even though it didn't have any "cellphone-related mayem?" #gizmodoremainders

@G-Ram: the balloon is actually a really cool gadget (er...was). Apparently once it was filled with helium there was a small electrical current applied to parts of the outer skin to help it navigate. I have no idea of the physics of it all (or even if it would work, since this guy is a bit weird as it is) but that's the story.

Whether or not giz knew that at the time is another thing. I think they just wanted to get a bit more site traffic :) #gizmodoremainders

I don't think that Apple should be able to deem apps inappropriate. What are we, 4th graders?

@Sir Gibler: There are ablot of fourth through 8th graders who's parents do not appreciate them having explicit content available to them. We need parental control, maybe you personally don't but the general populous does, and this is a good thing since it means more of those borderline apps will get approved.

@eagles3_isn't afraid of the big bad Pig(flu)?: But you would also think that the parent would eventually find out after all those credit card charges to the App Store showed up on the bill. If I was a parent, I'd check my kid's phone everyday.

Considering that they've had an online revenue sharing clause in their contract since 1997, it seems a little disingenuous that they made fun of the writers who went on strike to get a piece of online revenue.

@iamholland: Sure, but I prefer to watch things in the livingroom, rather than sitting in front of my computer, or having my friends huddled around my laptop.

More options is not a bad thing.

@BeautifulAgony: Well, I'm assuming you have an Xbox360 then or some other device for streaming Netflix? I'm just saying for people who don't, it isn't hard to connect your laptop to your TV?

@iamholland: I own a Roku, and I love it. Although people complain about the selection for the Roku, I've enjoyed watching many, many hours of content. I've found some great shows that I had never watched, and love the documentaries, biographies and older movies. For the $99, it was a terrific bargain, for me. I already had an unlimited DVD plan, so it worked out great.

I do watch things on the desktop/laptop, but for extended viewing and comfort, the livingroom (or lounging in bed!) is the place to be, for me.

@Kakkoister: If I want to surf the web and watch low-quality flash video, I'll use my laptop. I don't feel like waving a magic wand around on a low-resolution television screen with a mediocre browser. I had enough of computing on a TV back in the 80s with my Radio Shack Color Computer. Even HD isn't worth surfing the web on a TV.

I have a Wii, but don't use it anymore (not much worth doing on it, sadly). It just can't do much, and what it can do, it doesn't do particularly well. If it was half the retail cost, it might be worth it for passing a few rainy day hours or the occasional party game (but otherwise the games seem fairly shallow, and not worth a lot of replay). I sum up the Wii in two words: Limited fun.

For watching DVD quality content, I prefer the Roku. It's extremely well suited to the task it is designed to perform; namely, providing crystal-clear video in SD or HD, great sound and no extra frills or gimmicks, and nice simple, normal remote. I like it very much. More devices should be so simple and perform so well. Instead everything gets jumbled into one device and ends up perfmorning multiple tasks, but all fairly shittily.

"Matt and Trey personally get half of all the online revenue-a prescient move that's been in their contract since 1997."

Oh my shit. That was downright immprescient.

@iagiewob: BEWARE! That's not the awesome South Park app that Matt and Trey built. That's some total shit app that some Yeoman Johnsons built, probably infringing on copyright in the process. It sucks, trust me. We're still waiting for the badass SP app, and you should be too.
