If anybody says that you do not need to show up at an airport two hours early for a flight, THEN SMACK THEM. THEY SPEAK LIES.

Depends on the airport. That statement is usually true for PDX.

I think a variation of Murphy's Law applies here, where you only need two hours if you do not have them.

Actually, there was two recalls. The gas pedal and for the brake software on the Prius. Accelerating is bad (turn the car off)... Not being able to stop seems worse

ATTENTION WEB DESIGNERS. Although you may consider border-radius to be a gift from the heavens, rounded corners are now overrated.

I hear the iPhone 5 will have a built-in telephone jack, plus three miles of phone wire, to compensate for poor reception and AT&T.

After spending time at Verizon and T-Mo stores, I conclude that the G1 is the only Android phone with a not-useless hardware keyboard.

Lately I've been texting my boss more than making phone calls. The importance of a decent keyboard has hit home. It will be the top requirement on my next phone.
- Jack&Cleo
Yeah, I imagine soft keyboards on the new, huge Android phones are going to be better, but--to me at least--hardware keyboards will always *feel* better. Perhaps the Droid 2 will be better.
- James Rishabh Mishra
The keyboard on the Samsung Moment is pretty good, except for the spacebar...it's much too small

I don't blame BP any more than any other big company. They make mistakes too; BP was just unlucky to have this blow up especially spectacularly. Note that I do expect BP to pay for every cent required for cleanup.
