Nov 6th 2008 2:37PM I've never had the opportunity to attend a Blizzard event, and so this would make me extremely happy. :-)
WoW Insider giveaway: Manaprincess swag {WOW Insider}
Jul 10th 2008 11:32AM I'd use the mana pot to make sure I have enough mana to take down the damn Internet filter at work that prevents me from reading your blog except on my iPhone, and the health pot just in case I pull too much agro from the IT dept. :-)
Posterous: it's like Tumblr via email {Download Squad}
Jul 2nd 2008 2:48PM Correct me if I'm wrong, but I have Tumblr, and I'm able to email posts already. So besides the lack of signup, what other incentive is there to this?
eBay Find of the Day: Ferrari Conciso concept {Autoblog}
Jan 9th 2008 3:12PM The first thing I thought of when I saw the picture was that this was a promotional shot from the sequel to Pixar's Cars. Is it just me, or does this thing have a cartoon face in the front?
In the Autoblog Garage: 2008 Scion xB {Autoblog}
Oct 23rd 2007 4:39PM I have an 08 xB, and I love it. I just traded in my tC of 3 years, which I also loved, and never had any problems with. I won't speak on design, because it's a matter of taste. I'll just say that I enjoy the look quite a lot.
I disagree with a lot of what you said in your review, however. Perhaps you guys are really large, like gianesque, since you think that there's not enough room inside the car. And your legs must be irregularly long for you to have a problem with the protruding shifter. The gauges in the center took some getting used to, but are much easier now that I have.
I have quite a few of the factory accessories on mine, and I find that it handle very well once with the available suspension bits. Quite a bit of fun to drive.
As for the mileage? You guys must really have a lead foot when you test cars, because I'm getting 27.5mpg on a regular basis, and I don't drive like a granny.
However, not every car is for everyone. To each his own.
Windows Update pushes out "stealth" updates, Microsoft explains {Engadget}
Sep 14th 2007 12:24PM Not every negative post about Windows needs to be a platform for prozelytizing in the name of Linux. If people want to use Linux, there's plenty of information out there. We don't need the childish attempts to tell people who prefer not to convert "I told ya so!" and "Nya nya, Linux is better!"
You use Linux? That's great. Congratulations. I use Windows. I'm going to continue to use Windows. Now lets move on, and stop threadjacking.

iPhone 1.0.2 update released {Engadget}
Aug 21st 2007 8:19PM Well, "brick" probably wasn't the right word, seeing as it restored and it works fine now. However, I WAS trying to hack it using iBrickr, so perhaps I just had that stuck in my head still.
iPhone 1.0.2 update released {Engadget}
Aug 21st 2007 7:41PM Apparently firmware update 1.0.2 adds psychic abilities to iTunes also. I was ABOUT to hack my iPhone, and it decided to brick it before I had the chance. Currently restoring everything...
Faking one's death still not enough to escape Verizon contract {Engadget}
Aug 21st 2007 12:35PM You can pay full price for a phone and go month to month in America. All you need to do is buy a non-branded phone off of eBay or an online retailer. There are many places online that sell unlocked or never locked GSM phones online. I've been doing that for years with Cingular/AT&T.
As for the service, I've had AT&T since they were AT&T the first time, and I've watched them progress and improve. In my area, they are often better than Verizon in terms of service and dropped calls. I live in a suburb 20 minutes outside NYC. If I were to go into the city, I would say that AT&T and Verizon are evenly matched, or perhaps taht Verizon has a slight advantage.
Under these circumstances, I would always choose AT&T over Verizon because of the option to buy unlocked phones with none of the original features crippled, or if I were to choose to buy directly from AT&T, at least I would know that MOST of the features were still available.
