"I used to be overweight. Not just a little. When I’d walk down the street, people would go “Damn, that’s a fat ….” (you can fill out the dots with some creative swearing. I’ve heard them all). At my highest level of fatness, I weighed in at a 145 kilograms, which equals about 320 pounds for everybody on the other side of the Atlantic. I’m roughly a 193 centimetres tall (6.3 feet), which left my BMI at an alarming 38.9 (with 30 being the “obese” level). So the people on the street were more than right."

"Computer-Choppers has given us a little sneak peak at their latest creation – a PS3 Slim dipped in 24kt gold. This console is one of 5 limited edition units being produced. If you thought the Colorware version of the PS3 Slim knocked your socks off then this will blow your mind. If you want to have your very own PS3 Slim chunk of gold at home you’ll have to email Computer-Choppers to inquire. Expect to see more images on the site soon as they are putting the final touches on the release."

"The ratings are in and ABC's V was the highest rated series premier this season with a rating of 5.0, a 13 share which equals 13.9 million viewers. Of course this doesn't mean that many actually liked it and since we were pretty split here at Engadget HD, we wanted to know what you thought of this new Si-Fi show."

People are drawing comparisons to FlashForward for some reason (1 hr. drama? same network? cinematic?) but I think V > FlashForward. FF started out good, but I've lost interest.
- Derrick
I don't see the comparisons at all between V and Flash Forward. There are more similarities between LOST and Flash then V and LOST. But in both cases Flash Forward is the very clear loser; I've stopped watching it, and it takes a special kind of suck to make me stop watching Sci Fi.
- veo
Better than FlashForward? I have given up on FF due to the inane dialogue
- Dave Hodson
The only comparison I see with LOST and V is they both star the same actress. I tried giving FF a chance, but it's not that great. I LOVE "V" though. :)

Louis, Did you get your wife that new phone yet? This might be the one!!
- Chris Myles
Chris, she just got a new MacBook and new printer. She's spoiled enough for now.
- Louis Gray
I'm going to wait & see. I'd like to see one with multitouch, Snapdragon processor, and a better keyboard, preferably made by HTC
- Rodfather
I was really looking to this handset... until I read the reviews; nothing positive has been about the camera, and for me, that's a deal breaker. The good news is, the problems *seem* to be software related rather than hardware, so maybe a fix will appear soon.
- Andrew Terry
Sooner or later someone will release a smartphone that makes me want to buy it. I keep waiting.
- Eoghann Irving
The same here Rodfather, I'm addicted to multitouch, no reason to go.
- jcunwired
no multitouch... really. i'll try it out, but that could break the deal for me. still, my Pre may be getting nervous...
- .LAG liked that
Louis, a wife spoiled with a Droid means husbands gets to help/play/review .. at least that's the logic I'm trying to use to justify OUR purchase. Although your wife does sound sufficiently spoiled.. for now !!
- Chris Myles
There is a demo video floating around that shows a version of droid with multitouch. If they release that, and it's GSM, i'm probably buying.
- dthree
I /will/ be buying one on Friday. I /will/ pay the exorbitant disconnect fees from AT&T to get off of their network. I <3 Verizon Wireless and Google for giving me something to move to.

"Joss Whedon's online musical "Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog" not only broke new ground for Internet media, it also landed an Emmy in the short-format, live-action category of the annual awards. So, it was probably no surprise that the series already had a sequel in the works long before all the award talk began. Back in August, we got the scoop from Whedon himself—and now we have an update from one the project's stars, "Castle" and "Firefly" star Nathan Fillion."

""There are plans," Fillion told MTV News. "The media for the sequel has not yet been decided, but there is a title." While Fillion couldn't spill on the proposed title for the "Dr. Horrible" sequel, he did say that Whedon and the rest of the "Dr. Horrible" creative team—Joss' brothers Zack Whedon, Jed Whedon and Jed's wife, Maurissa Tancharoen—already have a few of the songs written....

"I am the driver of the Tesla in the three-way crash. I am all right and as Jason writes above, both front and back crumple zones did their job well. But Tesla could do better with the neck support on top of the seat, it was very hard on my head. But the accident has convinced me that the Tesla is a very safe sports car. There were no damage in the passenger compartment at all. The Tesla was brand new and had only been running for 400 miles and it was very sad for the owner, I had lent it from. Overall, six people went to the hospital, and after three hours we were all on our way home. Twelve hours after the accident, my family and I could enter the plane for a week holiday in New York. I find it very interesting to read about the accident on different international web sites."

ew. that's freaky. did you see the video? having that thing pulsating in bed next to me would freak me the hell out. no.
- pea
Quite frankly, that would just make me lonelier. If I'm in a low point and I'm hugging some faceless blog of (what exactly?) that would just make me feel worse.

That thing will totally try and get your pregnant, watch.

One of my mom's nicknames for me is Shmoo :( edit: okay I just watched the video. I'm a little freaked out now

I'll wait until I get home to watch this video. but the comments are cracking me up!

Wow, that's freaky. I almost wanted to turn away and give that guy some privacy in the video. Eek.

In WoW those things are called oozes and you kill them cause they want to eat you. It is very uninstinctual to want to cuddle with one. I say EEEEK again!

"The bags are dishwasher safe, food safe, and resistant to grease and moisture (no need to worry about your jelly leaking out of the bag). Plus, they come in many fun patterns. Lunch Skins aren’t great for long-term storage of foods in the freezer, but they are are perfect for lunchboxes and snacks when you’re on the go. Reducing your waste when you can is greener than doing nothing at all."
