That...could be quite handy for the elderly. Spend some time as a caregiver and you see that a lot of these oddball form factors are quite handy for some folks.

Then use it to rob a bank. Gotta spend money to make money. Seriously though, there's a giant CASE front end loader parked at a construction site right next to a jewelry store on the way home from work. So tempting, but so wrong...

Is this terrible, or is it literally the worst thing in the world? :/

As someone who's worked on old Macs and has also done lots of 32 -> 64-bit porting, this is the sort of trick that works wonderfully...until it doesn't. And then you've got a nightmare on your hands. I'm not saying n

Huh...I stop at that exact spot. A lot. Mostly because it's a good spot to fuel up before (as I do) one disappears for 50 miles onto PA back roads (and 50 miles back...) with no more gas stations. I never realized it was 'a thi

I use that same Thinkpad X61s as my personal laptop. Got one used for $100 and added a big drive and it's good-to-go for linux work. The keyboard's great and I actually like the 4x3 display. Best thing, if anything happens to i

My iPhone 4S is perfectly sized for me and seems indestructible but the battery has been gradually getting worse and worse. I'd hoped that the SE form factor would get an update with the last set of model refreshes and was sadly disap
