Thumb Up

Stella

Stella looks good. Looking forward to seeing more on the Cruiser class cars. Don't know if our British sunshine is up to keeping one of these topped up with charge, but there is much of the world where surely a solar car could be practical.

Mechanical

None of these are sexy, they are all boxes with electronic gubbins that you can't see working. A difference engine, or an analytical engine are sexy.

Finally you can buy more than one. The plan to build an array - the "Raspberry Pi & Clustard" (TM) is back on.

Evernote

Does it work now?

I tried this ages ago, and while it would let me create check lists on the pc, the android application would not allow me to then check them off. Seemed absurd to me that they couldn't get something that simple right. The PC application was also a resource hog. I changed to Springpad which was simple and got all that right.

Have they now improved? Before I got the impression that if you had an iwhatever it was good, but it was dreadful on android.

Nearly one in 10 Brits 'fess to shower phone faux pas

Fishy

They are mobile!

People in the office who leave their phones on their desks and then walk off drive me potty. The thing rings and rings and their is no one to answer it. I'm always tempted to dunk their phone into their tea for them.

How many phones get killed because of fed up office colleges?

Not sure why this is getting so many down votes. The swearing added absolutely nothing to the article, and it wouldn't exactly have been difficult to find something else to use as an example. I'd suggest a change of pictures in the article, and a bit more thought next time.

Amazon fans order three Fires for every E Ink Kindle

Fishy

Have you read a book on an e-ink screen? It is very very good. I struggle to even read a report on a computer screen let alone a novel, and have no intention of trying to on a fondleslab.

Battery life of a month or more on a kindle. You will be a long long time waiting if you want that on a fondleslab.
