If you'd like to know who's following you around on the web, then you need this app (and probably some others).

It's difficult to see why someone wouldn't install this on a smartphone. Assuming my initial testing goes well, I'm going to put this on the phones of all my family members. If I had had this a month ago while on a vacation trip, I could have avoided some seriously annoying data overcharges.

I agree. This is pretty cool. I've only played around with it so far, but it should come in handy in real situations, and it promises to be fun, too.

OMG. A food/recipe site with astounding visual taunting and the ample promise of culinary delight. I must have a taste.

Right. I'm surprised facial hair catch phrases named after these saints haven't become more mainstream. But I do know a dude named Bleecker who loads my Springfield Musket before we go into battle against zombies.

I'm thinking of the other things that could be tube-free, like London (super bad idea) and tube socks (super good idea). Huh.

This hits home with me. My dog also has a region of her brain that LOVES ME, and I think it's situated between a food nodule and the petting region.

Although I enjoyed this book, I read a fair number of pop explanations of science, and I thought this was an average effort.

What you might not realize is that you already know a sociopath, almost certainly. I only bought the book because I knew that I had run into one. You'll especially enjoy the book if think you haven't met one yet (but of course you have). The one downside is that I kind of got the point after the first couple of chapters and didn't need to read much more.

A really interesting book, and useful information. However, more than it being longer than necessary, I felt at times that it tried to be too much like a gripping tv documentary where the narrator speaks in the deep, hushed voice and builds unnecessary suspense. Still enjoyable though.

The constant threat of imminent death, torture, mutiny, starvation, and scurvy will give you only the briefest pause before you absolutely must turn the page. You can't completely understand your humanity without knowing this tale, which almost certainly resulted in you being where you are now.

This is really cool from a uber-geek perspective. But if this contraption fails to result in better shaving technology, I'm just not that interested.
