OMG, over twelve-thoussand comments! I could really use one of these.... but alas, I'll never win ANY of these Engadget contests!

Maybe some day I can hope....
Gimme, please!!!!
The obsession with complete eradication of bacteria and germs from our society is exactly what's causing so much sickness these days. The people that I constantly see using hand sanitizers and other such nonsense are the exact same people who are always coming down with something. I can understand the mentality if you work in such an environment where such a thing would be a necessity -- such as a hospital, or somewhere that requires handling of raw foods or bodily fluids -- but for most people in public, you shouldn't be so over-zealous when it comes to killing every bit of bacteria you think will bring about your end.

Me?

I just utilize proper handwashing techniques, and don't worry too much about coming across germs unless I am eating or preparing food. The body needs to experience germs and bacteria from a foreign environment to strengthen its own immune system. I am by no means "old", but I do recall when I was growing up, that dirt and germs were something that kids commonly came into contact with, and such gave us the ability to fight off the *real* nasty stuff when we got older. I haven't had a flu shot in 10 years, and in that time I have only had a serious illness (one that put me out of commission for more than a day) maybe 3 or 4 times.

It seems that parents and schools are so worried about sickness as of late, that they're not giving children the proper chance to build their immune systems. It's almost as if we won't let ourselves out in public any more without jacking our bodies up on antibiotics and soaking ourselves in Ethyl Alcohol.
I want this thing, if for no other reason than to say I have an RC skateboard.. lol
Facetiousness or not, your "no sale" is "full of fail"
If Nokia buys Palm, they'll force Palm to switch all their devices to GSM, and you'll never see a Palm phone on Sprint again.
*Each one, even...

Damnit!
I'll take two of those hamburgers, and stick each on over my cold feet!
Seriously, a cheeseburger hand warmer / mouse pad combo?

I think the horrible engrish product description is almost as good as the crapgadget itself:


"Winter is coming!! Is it too chilly to use mouse when working in such a cold weather or in a chilled office? Now! USB Warmer Mouse Pad with built-in warmer pad can help to warm your hand while you are at work. Just plug it into the USB port, then you can warm your hand all the time! "


LOL!
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm looking for a solid state drive, around 32 to 64GB, for use in my web server. The drive will contain my web sites and the operating system, either Windows Server 2008 R2 or Ubuntu. Large storage is handled by a separate RAID array, so capacity is not an issue. Rather, I am looking for the fastest, longest-lasting, and most reliable drive under $150 that is suitable to my application. Any thoughts? Thanks!"
