Yeah, that's an excellent point. You have to even wonder what the use case for the Touch is with a midsize tablet in the product line. Touch feels a little irrelevant. Read more

I love the uninterrupted power of DSG, but I also love the *act* of driving a stick—so I feel like there's a little more skill involved in getting the most out of my 450hp car. Sometimes I wish these companies would stop engineering cars to perform on the track—because only the auto journos drive them on the track. Read more

I might also, but I want to spend some more time with the Nexus 7 first. Read more

Dagnabit, I had like a perfect run and... 14.5. Are you guys doping? Read more

WTF 15.4. I suck almost as bad at this on the Internet as I do in real life. Read more

And if you lose a coin in the "cushion," kill it goodbye forever. Read more

Yeah, but man you have to see this thing. It's seriously a work of art. Are you coming to our shindig next week? Read more

Awesome, we're gonna get one in. How long have you had it? Read more

I don't see Bluetooth as a replacement for NFC. Even if the security issues were nonexistent, the pairing process is too cumbersome. Can you imagine what the point of sale experience would be like? So annoying. Read more
