Very clever. - Anne Bouey

Hmm, too many Google logos the last months. IMO, Google ruins having them be something special. - Philipp Lenssen

The same thing happened to me awhile back, but then everything went back to normal once I restarted my computer the next day. Sucks that you had to reinstall. - Brian Chang

Yeah... this has been an ongoing problem for me. It probably doesn't help that I usually keep 30-40 tabs open at a time (47 now). - Dan Hsiao

Yep, Flash videos just tanked on me again, and I only have 8 tabs open. Hopefully shutting down and coming back tomorrow will restore functionality. - Brian Chang

"Partly due to terrorism fears, the National Parks Service also noted the narrow staircase "violates every fire code in the city of New York and the state of New York and the state of New Jersey." However, Weiner blamed the park service for "a failure of creativity" by not solving the issues through renovation and evacuation plans." - Dan Hsiao via Bookmarklet

"Chris Duhon has agreed to a two-year deal with the Knicks, paving the way for the franchise to cut ties with Stephon Marbury, their troublesome starting point guard." - Dan Hsiao via Bookmarklet

Interesting to see how the other side sees it; but i have to say it's far more annoying when tourists are in your way of going about your daily life. - Dan Hsiao

I love seeing Federer pumped up. Looking forward to the Federer/Nadal Wimbledon final on Sunday (6:00 am - 12:00 pm PST) - Dan Hsiao

Where's the Hello Kitty armbands? - Jack Norris

Looks like New Jersey LOL - Mona N

NJ FAIL FTW! - Mark Forman

I've seen a lot worse. This doesn't (actually in NC) actually seem so bad; you scan the sign for the road you're looking to get on and the direction it's going, and follow the corresponding arrow. But it would be an interesting design exercise to come up with a new, unified sign that would present the same information. (Interstate highway signs generally do a really awesome job of that.) - ⓞnor

This, for example, is clearly somebody's attempt to make a single coherent display for a very similar situation, but I think it is actually much worse: http://www.driveandstayalive.c... Unlike the "fail" sign, it doesn't immediately tell you what to do, instead you have to decode the map and translate it into actual driving on the fly. - ⓞnor

As much as I love Legos, this is a little too much for me lol - Mona N

You can never have too much legos! :) - Dan Hsiao

Be much cooler if whole table was molded out of bright colored plastic with lego block bumps on it. - Mark Forman

Wow, Legos are everywhere lately - who is their CMO? (Finlay Robb?) - what I've seen is genius. - Vince DeGeorge

These are almost the right size to build homes from... of course, then we'd need to fashion claw hands for people, but that is a mere detail... - Karim

OMG - this too cute.. is there a fish in there ? can't make out !! - Peter Dawson

There *was* a fish in there :P - Dan Hsiao

This the equivalent of hedge fund peeps in animal kingdom? - Mark Forman

""If anything, my portrayal of David Palmer, I think, may have helped open the eyes of the American people," said the actor, who has contributed $2,300 to the Illinois Democrat's presidential campaign." - Dan Hsiao via Bookmarklet

"A critique of Hancock is an essay in irrelevance. It's Independence Day Week, and six times since 1996, that's meant a Will Smith movie — a mega-giga-gigantic hit. Independence Day, Men in Black, Wild Wild West, Men in Black II, I, Robot: He shows up, people line up. Thomas Jefferson used to own this holiday, but now the former Fresh Prince does. So why should critics even bother to review a new Will Smith movie? You'll only go anyway." - Dan Hsiao via Bookmarklet

@Bret: to support and round out your Will Smith owns 4th of July theory :) - Dan Hsiao

I have often noticed this. - Kevin Fox

slightly entertaining but disappointing.. it just feels weird and incomplete. Go see it just for the effects and will smith, don't expect too much! - Jing Lim

"Check out the prices for a text message plan on AT&T, the exclusive carrier of the iPhone 3G in the United States. AT&T wants twenty cents ($0.20) per text message if you don’t sign up for a plan. A text message is nothing more than 160 bytes of data. The max is 160 characters, and one character equals one byte of data. Great. In other words, if AT&T charged data downloads at the rate they charge text messages downloading 1MB of data would cost you $1,310.72." - Dan Hsiao via Bookmarklet

"Andrew Adams, of Santa Barbara, attended the [finance] camp twice, once when he was 10 years old and again two years later. "He was coming home with words like 'adversely affect your credit score,' " says his mother, Denice Adams. Andrew pointed out to his mother that her credit-card billing cycle had changed, and that she wasn't keeping up with payments. Her delays were racking up late fees, jacking up her interest rate and hurting her credit score. After considering her non-discretionary household expenses (his words), Andrew also pronounced that the mortgage on their Santa Barbara home was too high for her income." - Dan Hsiao via Bookmarklet

"# One resident has lived in a studio in Carroll Gardens for 43 years with a current rent of $146. # Another gloater has occupied a three 3BR loft in Chelsea for 30 years, paying $1,095 a month. # A 1BR in Jersey City can be had for $1000 “with a backyard bitches!”" - Dan Hsiao via Bookmarklet

Now is the backyard full of bitches? if so does the $1000 cover the high maintenance fees? - Steve Craft

"TAIPEI (Reuters) - The 350-room Cheng Pao Hotel near central Taiwan's Sun Moon Lake separates Chinese tourists from Japanese guests at meals to ensure those from China don't take out their nationalist aggressions on visitors from Japan." - Dan Hsiao via Bookmarklet

"Martha Nyakim Gatkuoth is a refugee from Ethiopia, 6 feet tall and runway-model slim. Her search for work took her to New York and then to a famed restaurant tucked within Central Park (Tavern on the Green), where she found a job that seemed ideal, with health coverage and a glittering, festive atmosphere. But Ms. Gatkuoth said it became something far different, a place of daily dread where, she said, sexual and racial harassment was rife." - Dan Hsiao via Bookmarklet

And if you have any specific recommendations that are compatible with the LG Chocolate, all the better. :) - Dan Hsiao

Wired is just easier to set up and will always work. I usually use neither when driving tho, so I dunno what I'm gonna do when I come back to California. My iPhone has a speaker mode where I wouldn't have to hold the phone up to my ear, but I don't know if that would be loud enough in a car. - Roshan Vyas

I have a Jabra BT8040 for my Chocolate, and it seems to work pretty well. I haven't actually needed to use it while driving, though I did it anyway just to give it a test run. If you get a wired headset, it can probably work just as well, though. I got the BT8040 because it was small and didn't make it look like I had an arm sprouting out of my ear. The Chocolate also has a speaker mode, but I've never tried using it. - Brian Chang
