W..w..w..what?!?! - Andrew Terry via Mento

A police report filed about the incident said Michelle Allen allegedly chased children in her neighborhood while wearing the suit on Monday evening. Allen also urinated on a neighbor's front porch, the report said, and was warned by officers to go home and stay there - Iain Baker via Bookmarklet

Or was that dis-udderly conduct? (rim shot) - Heidi Moon

Nothing to see here. Mooooove along.... - Andrew Terry

That woman's off her rocker.... - Andrew Terry

I hate dodging. State what you believe and how your actual policies would intersect with those beliefs, and leave it. I know you particularly dislike Palin, Evan, and she's certainly awful at this... but she's by no means the only one. Politicians on the whole need to learn to answer questions directly. - Jeremy Thompson

I agree, Jeremy. While I do disagree with her views, what really hurts her is her inability to articulate those views. I hope she does a better job in the VP debate than she has been with these interviews, for her sake. - Evan Sims

I've read that she did well in the AK debates, though I haven't seen them; her interviews are obviously pretty bad. I have to wonder how much of it is an attempt not to speak out of turn and not misrepresent McCain's views. It'd be very hard, since the two are far apart on a lot of stuff. Hopefully Biden and Palin both do well -- but because they articulate their views well, not simply because they can master empty rhetoric. - Jeremy Thompson

"Sounds like a load of bollocks if you ask me...." - Andrew Terry

Wow... it seems like every week that little lander gives us another "Wow" moment. I wish I'd been smart enough to work at NASA... - Andrew Terry via Mento

MANTYHOSE lulz - Eric Rice via Bookmarklet

guarantee we'll be seeing these in nyc - we see everything else already and folks won't give it a second look ;) - mike "glemak" dunn

No way, not in a million years I ever gonna wear those... - George The Writer

Ha! Only available in XXXXL. - Christian Madden

Surely, you mean "XXXXWide".....? - Andrew Terry

"Google have since admitted that the Chrome EULA was little more than a cut & paste error (http://arstechnica.com/news.ar......) blown out of all proportion. Like you, I entrust an awful lot personal information to Google, be it in the form of search terms, Calendar events, contacts etc. but i take the view that at least I can get my information *back out* of Google and take it somewhere else if I wanted/needed to - and unlike some other organisations (starts with "F", ends with "acebook", I trust Google to delete my information if choose to migrate away from their services." - Andrew Terry

"With a project of that size, scope and scale it's impossible not to have a glitch or two during the early stages of the implementation..." - Andrew Terry

"William Yuan, a seventh-grader from Portland, OR, developed a three-dimensional solar cell that absorbs UV as well as visible light. The combination of the two might greatly improve cell efficiency. William's project earned him a $25,000 scholarship and a trip to the Library of Congress to accept the award, which is usually given out for research at the graduate level. “Current solar cells are flat and can only absorb visible light,” he said. “I came up with an innovative solar cell that absorbs both visible and UV light. My project focused on finding the optimum solar cell to further increase the light absorption and efficiency and design a nanotube for light-electricity conversion efficiency.”" - RAPatton via Bookmarklet

Holy crap. This would me a huge acheivement if it came out of a major research lab. But a 12 year old? Bravo! - Chris Baskind

Awesome. Color me impressed. - Abbas Haider Ali

woah and it's lost a real passionate member - Zee from WeDoCreative

To follow-up, I actually think it's a Brightkite technical glitch. All these "I can't find where W 231 St and Broadway" messages were driving me nuts -- I previously checked in at the same location perhaps 5 times and had no problem. Hiro from bkite sent me a message saying "I hope you come back soon," but I should've probably mentioned that he needs to figure out why Brightkite isn't finding those locations like it used to. btw, Andrew, there's been some good conversation on the site. Not much tho. - Tamar Weinberg

I'm an early adopter regardless -- I was on Twitter since December 2006 and most people picked it up in late 2007/early 2008. I don't mind using a service when there isn't much momentum (FF, anyone?). However, I am bothered when a service doesn't work as advertised. - Tamar Weinberg

The ultra expensive commercials about nothing were expected to be bad? Is that also a Vista metaphor? - Jake

are they really *ditching* Sienfeld, though, or is the campaign is just moving into it's second phase...? The Seinfeld ads have got people talking about the ads themselves; it's brought the attention back to Microsoft, so it seems (to me) to be a good time to start focusing on product features and functions... - Andrew Terry

Since when does linking to a website warrant a criminal investigation?? What a waste of taxpayers money... - Andrew Terry

I don't even know what to say about that. Some sites I can see where you might want to ask but...isn't a Police Department a public entity? I dooon't get it. - Jaemi Kehoe

That is crazy...wtf? A city web site is taxpayer funded. Makes no sense. Hopefully the judge will slap that down in a second. - morgan

"This explicit promise by the Treasury to bail out GSEs in times of economic difficulty helps the GSEs attract investors who are willing to settle for lower yields than they would demand in the absence of the subsidy. Thus, the line of credit distorts the allocation of capital. More importantly, the line of credit is a promise on behalf of the government to engage in a huge unconstitutional and immoral income transfer from working Americans to holders of GSE debt." - Paul Buchheit

@Paul: the only way I would not blame the scheme is if you could never run out of investors and while that's possible in a hypothetical sense, it's not pragmatically possible since there is a finite number of investors on the planet. - Bryan Power

*wishing for a way to triple like something* - Leslie Poston

Ouch! Not even with yours, Iain. - Gez

Crikey! I thought that was the result of some monumental surgical cock-up until I read the article... she actually *wants* to look like that. - Andrew Terry

hot or not? - David Young

(my gratitude to one V. Belmont, for the nod via Twitter!) - Andrew Terry

"Good to see these two back. The Engadget podcast was compulsory listening when it was running, so expectations for gdgt (see what they did there?) are high!" - Andrew Terry

"Now, that's "Extreme Rambling"!" - Andrew Terry

"The second comment on the site (from Dana at Gregory FCA) adds more substance than the article itself..." - Andrew Terry

Awesome ! - Nir Ben Yona via twhirl

Yuvi, only if you can't get the mail for some reason..hmmm, now I wonder, IS there a way to get the mail? Tricky, Apple, tricky... - Tim Hoeck

Does Apple have a remote kill-switch for the mail in the box? - Jemm

Useful article, but I think I'll be sticking with good ol' delicious - it's such a useful service, and (this'll sound strange..) I feel a certain sense of loyalty to it having used it for so long. - Andrew Terry

Duncan is on fire lately - sean percival

At first, I thought this would be FSG re: Dare Obasanjo. - Louis Gray

Rock on, Duncan. - Chris Baskind

Great post, with the same message that you get from all successful people, no matter what their chosen profession might be: becoming a success requires a thick skin, determination, and the not-so-secret-sauce: a lot of bloody hard work. - Andrew Terry

Mona is making Techmeme already... outstanding. - Louis Gray via Bookmarklet

Sweet! Congratulations, Mona! - Candace Holly

Thank you Miss Lovely Candace!! - Mona N.

Indeed... I wonder how long before the first human falls victim to one of these things..? - Andrew Terry
