    Wow, something on this page is causing 50% cpu utilization non-stop as soon as it loads.

    If I close it, all is good. But starting this particular page blows. #toshibaspacechair

    So it cost like $3,000 to make a chair to destroy? I'm just trying to figure out what they would say to someone who may have been hit by this:

    My husband was hit in the head by your falling chair and is now dead!

    Yeah, but did you see the commercial? #toshibaspacechair

    @fsusmithc2: Well, if the thing weighed about 4 pounds, and terminal velocity was 50 m/s, the force would be 90 newtons. 21 pounds of force. That would hurt. Probably wouldn't kill though.

    @Frisky Unicorns: How did you calculate the terminal velocity? You'd need to know the wind resistance. Are you just using some common value of terminal velocity, because something with a large size to weight ratio like this would have a much lower terminal velocity. #toshibaspacechair

    To be fair, app browsing isn't all that great on *any* phone. In fact, I have yet to use a single mobile device (including the iPhone, thankyouverymuch) that I actually prefer browsing on over a full compy. Fullsite app browsing = generally awesome in my book.

    In reply to Windows Mobile Marketplace Adds Non-Mobile App Store
    "Well, the new online portal seems like a solid idea, albeit one that implicitly acknowledges that app browsing is not that great on a WinMo 6.5 phone. You can access the portal from any browser, taking advantage of your computer's larger screen and faster loading to find apps that much quicker."

    I dunno about that - I wouldn't be so quick to say that it acknowledges that so much as it comes as a logical step. I mean... look at the iPhone App Store. I personally hardly ever use the app store from the phone, unless it's to grab some free app that I need to use for whatever reason that has come up. Based on my experience, and that of the people I know, I'd say that the App Store within iTunes is more of the main one, with the mobile app store browser being more of an added convenience. So I'd say that Microsoft has their head on straight here - It's just that they had the mobile marketplace available first as a catalog available on its mobile devices, and now they're completing and solidifying the idea through a desktop version.

    edit: PS - I miss the <blockquote> tags... they made quotes so much more intuitive and easier to read and comprehend in context at first glance.

    @brobot: When you criticize Gizmodo you have to take into account that this is an Apple lover's site. They are lastly tending to ditch non Apple stuff specially when it comes to mobile devices. I own an iPodtouch an I have to say it's a nightmare if I want to find a non top 25 or featured App. Its the way it is, we are talking about a small screen device, same goes for windows mobile. But the author is turning a good service for windows mobile customers into yet an other reason to ditch the windows mobile platform. #windowsmobilemarketplace

    @HelloYouAll: errrrmmm... I don't know where you got the idea that I was criticizing gizmodo from my comment... Especially since you basically just re-stated the entire point of my comment, except with an anti-giz spin on it by talking about apple bias before saying "the author is turning a good service for windows mobile customers into yet an other reason to ditch the windows mobile platform."

    To every person who ever previously/currently/henceforth whines about gizmodo's apple bias, I, Bepoptimus Prime, hereby officially declare #Shenanigans. - All the whining is 100x more annoying than any bias in the first place. sheesh. cry about it #windowsmobilemarketplace

    @joule79: You made me think, why the heck has battery technology changed so much for laptops and cars etc. but the 1.5 V AA battery has remained the same for all this time? It hasn't gotten too much more efficient and/or longer lasting. Since it's size remains the same, it should at least double in power every couple years. Wait, does Moore's law apply to batteries? #toshibamkxx33gsg

    @PurpleMonkeyDishwasher: : battery technology is improving every year. In terms of what chemicals produce the best reaction while being the least harmful to whatever they don't want to harm. The AA cannot really improve much more without changing its size/shape, which would defeat the purpose of being an AA battery. There are more powerful and smaller batteries, it's just hard to adapt their technology to still produce 1.5 V in that size. #toshibamkxx33gsg

    @psychiccheese: Still, battery tech is improving at a slower pace than the rest of technology. Battery tech is actually what is keeping us from advancing even more quickly. Though I did see that there were some recent breakthroughs, I can't wait till they're out. #toshibamkxx33gsg

    @Digo: another thing I forgot to mention is backwards compatibility. When someone designs a faster, more efficient CPU, if they can't make it fit on existing motherboards, they simply make a new motherboard for it. With batteries, even today, new gadgets run on AA batteries, because they're the most widespread and universal. Not because they're the best kind, but because everyone will have access to them. #toshibamkxx33gsg
