Darwin Awards are for those who take themselves out before they have a chance to reproduce.

In this case, we should just thank the individual for their sincere effort and wish them better luck next time.

I guess it depends what you're trying to do which upon further contemplation would be to retain the use of the camera and mic when you want to but disable them at all other times. I would say that if you're that concerned to cover the camera then the microphone should be deemed a greater threat. Audio might not give as much info but it would always be available. And once you're at that train of thought, then what about integrated GPS? Sure, any cellphone could be triangulated via cell towers but GPS would be quicker and more precise.

Obviously you want to still be able to use it, receive calls, etc. so no faraday bag or removal of battery (if that's even an option). Maybe you could open it up, give the camera and mic individually wired switches, and disguise it all by making a neat replacement case (steampunk, hardwood, Star Trek PADD, etc.).

Only if you think it would give you more battery life. A little faraday bag would be better. DIY with duct tape and foil.

It's NOT about the fucking start button. It's the old menu system. It's the dumb "charms" and hot spots and other touchscreen bullshit.

It's far worse when they don't. http://www.youtube.com/watch?f...

Remember the specific words they use. It's just like US ISP ads. "Up to 12 mpbs! but probably half that at the best of times."

Fuck. FUCK! That's when they got rid of the menu bar and/or when they moved the tabs above the address bar with no way to change it (as far as I can tell). Now I'm too lazy to upgrade because I fear another damn UI change. Firefox gets free reign to upgrade as it pleases (though their choice of embiggening version numbers to the EXTREEEEEEMME still annoys me) as it and its addons seem to upgrade without doing the UI Elements Shuffle Game.

Well, better Colbertdrive than 420poopfeastdrive or /b/drive.

Do I have to pre-order?

Why not one of those eye blinding green laser pointers? I wonder how much power one of those needs to fry the camera sensor.

Hmm, yes.... If only there was something he could with his spaceship, with Spock's captured ship and load of red matter (unless the plot has already thankfully begun to fade from my mind), from his now current position in the past. If only there was something he could do like... show up in his huge fucking ship and warn that the star was going to nova or, since Spock was thrown into the past as well, team up with that Spock to make sure there's no fuck ups this time around.

Gosh, if only....

Job fair? Sounds like a bunch of sales twats and HR robots.

That's what I did with Wii and later consoles.... PC's should have gotten all the benefits of consoles instead of consoles getting all the downsides of PC's.

I ran out of characters for the subject but seriously, who the fuck comes up with this shit? When did acronyms HAVE to be almost like a pun?

Was there anything decent about SGU other than the budget for set and special effects? All I remember from albeit a very limited time trying to watch it is shakey documentary cam and dramadramadrama.
