Because the world needed a semi-automatic Taser

Thugs the world over are learning to outwit the Taser. As long as there’s more than one of you, you’re scot-free! The single-shot nature of the air Taser has always been frustrating to victims, too: once you zap a fool, you’re done!

July 27th, 2009 link to (permalink)

15 years ago

It’s not so much that it’s chubby as that there are unfair expectations placed on its dimensions. What is a hard drive to do when 12.5mm is considered fat? Because that’s what the mother of appearance-based computing, Apple, is saying.

Android making an appearance on Mintpad MID

I question the continued existence of mobile internet devices (MIDs) like the Mintpad, seeing as all our phones are turning into MIDs. You can’t fight convergence. Still, as long as there’s a little room in the market, stuff like this will stick around.

High-end portable DVD players are a scam. I know it, you know it, everyone knows it. Sure you can pick up a Walmart special for $75, but those $200 models just don’t make sense when most people already have a notebook with an optical drive and a larger screen.
