• Commented on Bicycle defense kit fits in Altoids tin
  This isn't so much defensive as it is offensive. It's not going to keep you safe and it's not going to keep you from harm's way. I mean, neat ideas and stuff, lord knows I've thrown handfulls of nuts and...

• Commented on Bookshelf lounger with wheel for lazy people

• Commented on 911 police officer refuses to help girl who calls about her dying father because she said the F word before the call was answered
  Ok, first and foremost, the news crews got it wrong. The sound of the phone dialing and the ring tone are inserted sounds. Unless your phone is 100% tapped and rolling 100% of the time there is simply no way...

• Commented on Review: an hour with Griffin's TuneFlex AUX
  It sucks too because my Monster charger won't work with the iPhone because it uses the FW pins for charging, and it was the only other charger with a line-out in it....
• Commented on Review: an hour with Griffin's TuneFlex AUX
  Well, for starters, the tuneflex is compatible with everything EXCEPT the iPhone, according to the box. I have no doubt that it would work to charge and to play music, but it has no vents to accommodate the mic, and...

• Commented on Leatherman Freestyle multitool finally to be released
  Toolguyd: Don't forget about Leatherman's 25 yr warranty! I called them about this, and they had no suggestions as to what to use to clean the tool with, and told me I'd have to ship it to them (at my...
• Commented on Leatherman Freestyle multitool finally to be released
  I have the Skeletook CX (Carbon Fiber makes anything cooler) and I have to say that while the tool feels great and looks awesome, I hate the screwdriver design. Kudos for making a way to have replacement bits, and a...
