Um, no. The gigantic crane in Virginia that's been there since the '60's is not the smaller crane that crashed in Milwaukee in the late '90's. Read more

Sit tight folks, the deals will be rolling out steadily over the next five days. They just announced this, so I'd expect the first ones to roll out later today or tomorrow. Read more

Thanks for sharing this! Fingers crossed. Read more

Great question. The answer is that they realized that they simply didn't need four. By reorganizing the layout of the ship to make it more efficient they can actually get 25% more planes in the air, with less crew, in the same amount of time. Eliminating one of those lifts further increased the ship's capabilities by… Read more

That should have read "There's only one place you can go IN THE U.S." It's been corrected. Read more

Which is why it's in a dry dock. Read more

Not bad at all. Thanks for sharing. Anybody else? Read more

The Galaxy S III can do this anytime the screen is on, but battery life takes a major hit since the mic is always on and listening. I can't help but think that it would be even worse if the mic were always one even when the phone was sleeping. Fun party trick, but probably not worth the tradeoff. Read more

I really don't think it's anything worth complaining about, but I will say this: having tested well over 20 phones for Giz in the last year, I have never found any of them to be "too heavy." As in, the difference of a few ounces (which is the most we're ever talking about here, in the case of the iPhone 5 vs iPhone 4S… Read more

So, obviously, as we said, except for a few cities Sprint has not yet rolled out their 4G LTE network. So, obviously, as we said, their 3G network is slower. But are you one of the few who live in an area that has Sprint's LTE, and did you just buy the iPhone 5? If so, download the Speedtest.net app, turn off your… Read more

This is correct. A big part of why ice is so good at cooling drinks is because it can disperse that heat through dilution. Whiskey stones just don't transfer heat nearly as well. Read more

Hey, Sother Teague, the man himself. Good to see you in the discussion. Read more

Ahh you have a good eye. That block of ice started out clear, but it was accidentally dropped and got a crack through the middle. Ice is slippery, it turns out. Who knew? Read more

I think for most people, finding a way to vibrate a large amount of ice, steadily, for a couple of days (or even for 8 hours) would be much, much more difficult. That's some serious equipment you're talking about. This may take awhile, but it's cheap and very easy to do. Read more

Ah, but some drinks were meant to be savored. While we were there Sother made us the best old fashioned I have ever had. In my life. I wanted it to last forever. Read more

You can do it all on the Verizon Wireless site, and once you do it for the first time it'll take like a minute each time after that. I wouldn't let that be a factor. Read more

Thanks, dad! Read more

Yep. It's officially coming to Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, and US Cellular, all hopefully by mid-November. Updating the article with that info. Read more

It's hard to tell in the photo, but the Note II is actually slightly narrower than the original note. They narrowed the bezel to do that, and it's that narrowness that makes it feel less bulky and cumbersome. Read more

Not for direct syncing. You can use the app which will sync to the cloud, but to get your stats to the cloud in the first place you'll have to use the dongle with your computer. Read more
