I don't get it. I've been holding my breath (and I skipped the Diamond) since we first heard about this. Sorry HTC - I'm not willing to wait another year for a good phone. It's iPhone time.

Rather than cry about it, I just blocked ads on the site. No revenue for haters!

That reflection looks fine to me. That could be an aluminum front, which would fit with Apple's PVC elimination by year-end goal.

That actually seems pretty useful for couples.

Hey, at least they're being honest with you. :)

Note that I ordered on 11/28 - the silly 'estimated ship date' did say 11/28, but the order status page said 11/30. The 'estimated ship date' looks pretty misleading too, don't you think?

Don't assume. I ordered, waited for the confirmation email, saw an 11/30 date on my order status page (the one sent in the email), and then the next day it changed to 12/17. I gave it 36 hours total to see any progress before I canceled - they never even tried to charge my credit card for the system (I even called my credit union to check).

I tried to order a base model (nothing that would make the laptop's ship date delay) on 11/28, and was told the next day that instead of an 11/30 ship date, I would have a 12/17 ship date. I cancelled my order and bought a equivalent Sony CR model in a local Sony store (Seattle) - for the same price, in person.

There's really no difference between maglev and conventional rail, though - maglev is slightly faster, but vastly more expensive. I just rode the TGV Est at 320kph, and that's conventional, and tested to 574kph. Build conventional at 500kph and save some money...

There was no play-doh on the shirt. They are calling tape and paint play-doh to make it sound to people who don't have pictures as if this was a bomb. This looks NOTHING like a bomb, it's a breadboard with some LEDs and a battery.

Can we stop calling this a fake bomb? This was an LED shirt, an obvious breadboard with lights on it, and ANY trained police or TSA officer should have known IMMEDIATELY that it was NOT an explosive. The media are reporting this as a "hoax" or "fake bomb" when it was really a cool shirt.

I own two shirts with LED lights which are example projects of clothing with alterable messages. They are normal. What's not normal is the media trying to cover idiotic police by framing the argument. She did not *act* like it was a bomb, or *say* it was a bomb, so it's not a "hoax" or a "fake" bomb. It's a shirt.

Engadget - calling a sweatshirt with lights which was part of an MIT project a "fake bomb" just perpetuates the fearmongering. Please stop!
