… if “pad” is inherently bad root word, how do you explain “ThinkPad”?

And don’t forget “CrunchPad”, which Popular Mechanics named one of the 10 best gadgets of 2009.

the internet IRL (or, a series of fiber optic cables) in Wired
“This modest indentation on the Canadian coastline is a major Internet landmark, a sort of Ellis Island of the Web: It’s where a submarine cable owned by Hibernia Atlantic comes ashore. (Eleven major lines cross the Atlantic, and this one lands under the manhole, above left.) This particular bit started at a Hibernia sister station in Southport, England, and traversed the ocean in about 0.0028 second. It will then skip along one of two fiber-optic thoroughfares: the cross-Canada pipe, which goes to Montreal and points west, or the southern route, down the East Coast, through Boston to New York City…” — Netscapes: Tracing the Journey of a Single Bit (via)

Ok, stop whatever you’re doing. Yes, I know it’s the last weekend before Christmas; put down the CC. Listen:

If you put your iPhone in a regular ziplock bag, you can still use it. As in, you can tap the screen all you want and it’ll respond just fine.

I honestly had no idea that this worked - my mind is blown. This means I can use my iPhone when I walk in the rain. I can read recipes off it in an oily, wet kitchen. I can follow crafting tutorials, paint all over my fingers.

I feel like I’ve just been reborn.

Can’t wait to try this.
