"$800 for a remote? Another great reason why America is so fat and lazy."
Surely the cheap ubiquitous remote controls that come with everything contribute to this far more than expensive control systems? At $800 a pop, it's not like many people are going to have one of these.
"That A x B x C = X was actually pioneered by Ford in the 70s."
Not exactly - Learned Hand (a famous Judge) came up with basically the same thing first, using different letter (B < pL).

"In what universe is 512Mb the same as 4Gb somehow?"

Read it again more carefully - they actually wrote 512MB. FYI, the convention is that uppercase B stands for bytes, lowercase b stands for bits.
There are eight bits in a byte, so 4 gigabits = 512 megabytes. Which is what they said.
"Because then the libs would have to accept that their candidates actually lost."

Actually no, I think all of us libertarians pretty much accept it as a foregone conclusion that our candidate is going to lose.
Well, it looks like my dinovo's days are numbered now.

I need this.
In the UK, distance is measured in miles, not kilometres.

They have a similar system in northern Virginia to catch people haven't paid vehicle property tax, but they sell the cars rather than crush them (and they take your licence plates rather than clamping).
The Netgear might be the first draft-n consumer-grade router to have gigabit ethernet, but it's definitely not the first gigabit-equipped consumer router. That would be the D-Link Wireless 108G (DGL-4300), released about fifteen months ago. There's also the Asus RX3141IP (which isn't wireless), released about a year ago.
600 lumens is not great either. Hopefully the bulbs last a while, though.
Second only to the Veyron? I think not. The Dauer 962LM (basically a tuned, street legal Porsche 962 with a decent interior) can do 0-60 in 2.6.
Then you have cars like the Panoz LMP01, which is less than 2.3 to 60, and then 100mph in about 4.5.

Four and a half hours to recharge? When they make it as quick filling up with gas, I might consider it. I'm bad enough about forgetting to charge my cellphone.
"BROADBAND access threw [sic] the phone that can be used with a laptop."
The Blackberry 7250 has this, if EVDO counts as broadband - http://www.blackberryforums.com/showthread.php?p=128396#post128396

"make the bluetooth work for other things then just the wireless ear peice."
The new OS - 4.1 - reportedly fixes this (T-Mo still haven't released it though).

"GPS that a laptop and the phone can use."
A couple of the Nextel Blackberries (the 7100i and the 7520) have GPS that the phone can use, so hopefully this will happen for other networks at some point. I don't know if the GPS works with a PC, but I doubt it. That would be pretty sweet.

But please, no camera - or at least make them with or without. Some places, for example courthouses, don't let you bring cameraphones in.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I just moved into a new apartment and have been reading about all of the new power strips out there, especially the green ones. I was wondering if you had any suggestions about which "green "power strips are out there with decent joules ratings. And when I say green, I mean power strips that have the remotes or switches to turn off all electricity flowing to certain plugs and with at least 2 plugs that are always on. I was looking specifically at sub $50 because I will need two, but if that is not possible I could be convinced otherwise. Thanks!"
