Space Shuttle Discovery comes home -- and to a museum near you {Gadling}
Mar 10th 2011 5:54PM Actually.....there are two missions left. Endeavor in April and Atlantis in June.
Cruise line gets mixed reviews in aftermath of rocky ride {Gadling}
Dec 20th 2010 9:45PM Of course a PERSONAL INJURY maritime attorney would have a problem with how the cruise line tried to make good with its customers BEFORE he and his kind got a chance to chase the ambulance.
Microsoft Research reveals RearType, puts QWERTY back where it belongs {Engadget}
Aug 11th 2010 10:46AM Wow, I hate you Microsoft. Now I have to go apologize to the friend I laughed at who told me this would be a good idea......20 YEARS AGO!!!
Yellowstone visitors provoke bison, pay price {Gadling}
Jul 24th 2010 4:36PM I have to give the woman credit....she admitted to her stupidity. In todays society I would have expected a lawsuit and a bison being put down. Sorry it happened to her, but at least she took responsibility for her actions.
Horizon's Minipak, Hydrofill and Hydrostik fuel cell devices go up for pre-order {Engadget}
Jul 22nd 2010 10:41AM @glasgowd33 According to their specs you would need more than buckets of ordinary water. You would need buckets of de-ionized or distilled water. This thing just has hidden costs all over the place.
Apple telling reps to smooth over iPhone 4 reception complaints, not to offer free bumpers? {Engadget}
Jun 29th 2010 8:08PM Giving away free bumpers would be inviting another set of problems. The docking connector hole on the bumper is too small for many non-Apple peripherals. For example, my Griffin Tech. car charger cable will not attach to the phone with the Bumper Case on.

Jun 29th 2010 6:35PM @stabbytheicepic Quite easy to side with Apple. A.) They didn't force anyone to buy the phone. B.) The same problem DOES occur on other phones. C.) The user can always return the phone if it bothers them that much.

Jun 29th 2010 6:32PM Yes its an issue, but hardly as simple to reproduce as "brushing your phone the wrong way". Not defending the design but....it DOES occur on MANY other phones. Go look on Youtube...lots of videos showing Nokias and other phones doing the same damn thing. The answer is simple....if it bothers you either don't buy it, of if you already have....return it and get your money back. ALL of your money back. But if you think there is going to be an easy fix in the next week or so, you're dreaming. That would take a complete redesign.
iPhone 4 - what it means for travelers {Gadling}
Jun 8th 2010 11:15PM You left off one unassuming but actually very nice feature of the new iPhone 4. That feature is the phone supporting UMTS/HSDPA/HSUPA (850, 900, 1900, 2100 MHz). Of note is the addition of the 900MHz band which will improve 3G coverage in many countries overseas (non-US) and truly makes the iPhone 4 a world phone.
AT&T 3G MicroCell starting nationwide roll-out in mid-April {Engadget}
Mar 24th 2010 4:49PM @Jobee The $20 is if you don't want to use your cell plans voice minutes. So you could pay $150 and get the device with no recurring monthly charge (other than your current cell plan). Also...believe it or not their are cases where it is the carrier's fault that a house gets poor reception.
