Hey! I'm still waiting for my coupon from the government so I can switch from my analog cell phone to a digital one.

Oh wait...they never offered that.

I do agree that no matter how long you wait there will always be some one holding out until the very last moment. So we need to jump on this right now just like we did with the WMD threat in Iraq.... Oh wait...

Actually right at the moment I am making some good pocket change helping elderly people get their boxes and showing them how they are installed.

It actually only takes about 45 minutes to an hour for each one and they appreciate that someone takes the mystery out of it for them. If any of you have set up a computer for your parents or grandparents you know what I mean. They just need it explained without any of the buzz words.

I hate to tell the model but it was Hillary Clinton that is in the news, so she can put away the blue dress.

Now a question about the TV. Isn't there already several TVs on the market with USB & memory card slots? Sorry if it is a stupid question I have been using monitors for all my media for years so I am out of touch with real TVs.

I guess is for those people that bought the "I Am Rich" app for their iPhone and the ones that bought a Hummer to run their rug rat to soccer practice.

People with more money than brains are all around, and not just in the "rich" crowd. That is part of the problem in the US right now. People wanting the house that was really out of their price range, or getting the second or third mortgage so they could outfit their livingroom with the latest and greatest home theatre system rather than paying their bills and putting some money in their savings account.

I have several of the Kingmax Super Sticks.

It is fun going through security at the airport with them hidden in my socks and even in my mouth as they are waterproof.

This one might be small enough to hide in your nostril or other bodily opening of your choice.

Honestly I do keep several on a lanyard around my neck. I use dabs of my wifes nail polish to keep track of which is which. They are small enough that I almost don't notice them.

OK perfect sick tech gadget for Engadget would be to combine the Hello Kittie AR-15, the flashlight machine gun and the bio-(sperm)-LED for the flashlight.

Was there any reason they didn't show it working with a red LED?

I just wonder if he was really acting as cool as the story implies or was he jumping around about missing his flight and pissing off the TSA people, so they just decided to be little Hitlers and flex what little authority they have over someone with more toys than they can ever hope to have and make his life as miserable as possible.

On a recent flight to South East Asia I was pulled out by TSA because of the cameras in my carry on. The 2 that seemed to be the biggest concern were my wooden pinhole cameras made by Zero cameras (http://www.zeroimage.com/web2003/EntryPage/entryFrameset.htm)

They could not believe that you can make photos without a lens, electronics or batteries. The other was my Gowlandflex twin lens reflex. That one seemed to be because it is a large cube of metal and they had not ran across this type of camera before.

But flying frequently I was prepared with magazines that had articles about these products and their owner manuals and very carefully explained to TSA what they were without blowing my top at them.

When TSA finds something in your luggage they do not understand just remember not to loose your cool at them and that you have to treat them like a 4 year old child. Describe it in very simple terms, show them how it works and if you piss them off they will make your next few hours a living hell.

I use a Garmin here in the US.

But when I am in Thailand I have yet to find any companies GPS that has good maps of Thailand, Laos, Viet Nam.

But not just going on out of date paper maps and dead reckoning has led to some very interesting adventures in traveling around SEA.

Inkel MU-D is ok but I still think the Besta CyberDict has the greatest name for any product!

And it is the best for Thai translation that I have found (at a reasonable price).

Just what I need to torment my sisters Hello Kitty collection with!

Well looks like I can't buy thus for my family. Does not have the names Satawat, or Mitwara in the list.

I am totally traumatized and offended by this prejudice against names of Thai origin. I think about $54 million dollars would help relive my families' embarrassment and disgrace.

More seriously a lot of people have mentioned what is the child been exposed to for him to think the word was 'KILL'? Hopefully Child Protective Services will investigate the mother.
